Quixo Mini

Quixo Mini is the travel-sized version of the award-recognised abstract strategy game that plays like a supercharged noughts and crosses. Rules learned in thirty seconds, tactics that take much longer to master — and one of the rare abstract games that works for both 2 and 4 players.

Players take turns sliding a cube from the edge of the 5×5 grid, flipping it to their symbol and pushing the row or column inward. The goal is to line up five of your cubes in a row — horizontally, vertically, or diagonally — before your opponent does. With every move shifting the board, nothing stays settled for long.

What's good?

• Rules in thirty seconds — genuinely one of the easiest abstracts to teach
• Plays 2 or 4 (in teams) — rare flexibility for an abstract strategy game
• Recognised as one of the best games in France and North America
• Compact Mini format — ideal for travel or as a gift
