Triplo

About this board game

Triplo is a two-player board game released in 2017, with play lasting about 20 minutes. It is played on a hexagonal playing area made up of 19 rings, where each player begins with three pieces.

The pieces start on alternating vertices around the hexagon. On every turn, players must complete two actions in a fixed order, combining piece movement with a change to the playing area.

1. Move one piece in a straight line, continuing up to the end of the board or until it collides with another piece.
2. Move one exterior empty ring to another location on the playing area, placing it where it touches two rings.

This required sequence makes every turn a compact puzzle of movement and positioning. Players must guide their three pieces while also deciding how to relocate an empty ring within the hexagonal arrangement.

The objective is direct: be the first player to connect all three of your pieces. Because movement and ring relocation happen together on each turn, every decision contributes to the race toward that connection.

With its concise rules and clearly defined victory condition, Triplo focuses the game around a single challenge: connect your three pieces before your opponent connects theirs. The 19-ring board, alternating starting positions, straight-line movement, and exterior-ring relocation provide the complete framework for this two-player contest.
