Nine Tiles Extreme

About this board game

Nine Tiles Extreme is a speed puzzle game for 2–4 players, with a playing time of about 15 minutes, in which you move and flip nine tiles to match a pattern card.

This advanced version builds on the basic rules of Nine Tiles. The goal remains the same: arrange your nine tiles so they match the pattern shown on the current theme card.

What makes this edition more challenging is the introduction of multi-purpose patterns. A pattern may be matched by either color or shape, so you must work out which feature matters this time. The uncertainty adds a more chaotic twist to the familiar tile-arranging formula.

• Move and flip nine tiles to create the required arrangement.
• Use theme cards showing the pattern to match.
• Match patterns by color or by shape.
• Play a quick puzzle game designed to confuse your brain even more.

Because the relevant feature can change from one challenge to the next, every pattern demands close attention as well as quick tile manipulation. The rules are rooted in the original game, while the added choice between color and shape makes the puzzle more demanding.

Released in 2023, Nine Tiles Extreme offers a compact tabletop experience for groups of two to four. It is the advanced version of the popular Nine Tiles, which has sold over 200,000 copies, and delivers the same core idea with an extra layer of confusion.
