Quix! (2018)

About this game

Quix!, by Marco Aurélio Tayt-son, is a hysterical word challenge where up to 8 players challenge their knowledge in various game modes, always racing against time! At each turn, players must guess words on categories beginning with a random letter before the time runs out. Reveal a letter, roll the die, follow the game mode instructions and try to best your opponents. By using guesses and Eureca cards, players can affect their opponents by stealing their points, cancelling their guesses or even receiving points for straight up made-up words. Want to step it up? Quix! has an app that works as a timer and a randomizer for the events. The moment a player reaches the end of the score board, he is declared the winner. Are you up to the challenge?

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 8.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
