Mixtour

About this board game

Mixtour is a two-player abstract stacking game with an approximately 45-minute play time, released in 2012. Starting with an empty board, both players enter new pieces and move them while trying to build a stack of five or more pieces to win.

Mixtour gives players a broad range of movement options. Stacks may be split at any level, allowing part of a stack to move while the rest remains in place. The game also permits opponent pieces to be moved, adding another important consideration to each decision.

Every move must end on another stack. The height of the receiving stack determines the range of possible moves, making the destination an essential part of planning. Players must therefore consider not only which pieces or stacks to move, but also where the move will finish.

• For 2 players
• Approximately 45 minutes to play
• Abstract stacking gameplay
• Stacks can be split at any level
• Opponent pieces may be moved
• Build a stack of 5 or more pieces to win

Because the board begins empty, the position develops entirely through the pieces players enter and the stacks they create. Mixtour’s combination of stack-building, flexible movement, and receiver-dependent range defines its distinctive ruleset.

For players looking for a focused abstract game for two, Mixtour centers the contest on constructing stacks while using the available movement rules to shape the board.
