FIXER

About this board game

FIXER is a competitive trick-taking game for 2–4 players that plays in about 15 minutes. Use the four suits to navigate a struggle for power and become the ultimate shadow ruler.

Each suit has one weak match-up and one strong match-up, creating a tense system of opposing forces. Players take turns placing cards into areas, choosing when and where to commit their influence while watching the available match-ups.

In an arena, players must follow suit if they are able. As soon as an area contains two cards, conflict resolution takes place, turning every placement into a potential confrontation.

• The conflict winner takes one of the three victory point tokens.
• The winner also takes the opponent’s card as points.
• The losing player may choose to take the stronger card into their hand instead.

This losing-player choice gives each conflict an important decision. Claim points now, or take a stronger card for future opportunities? The four-suit structure and its weak and strong match-ups keep the contest focused on reading the situation and making the right commitment.

The game ends as soon as no victory point tokens remain. With its quick play time, direct card conflicts, and shifting power relationships, FIXER presents a compact battle for control in which every area can become the next decisive arena.
