TENTRICKS

About this board game

TENTRICKS is a tabletop game for 1–5 players that takes about 60 minutes to play, set in the year 2054. In a future where tabletop games have been replaced by interneuronal games, Tentricks offers neurogamers a new form of entertainment with echoes from the past.

Your objective is simple: avoid being eliminated. Each turn, you must carefully place the Tentricks pieces indicated by the cards on your player board. Every placement matters as you work to keep your pieces out of the reach of the Limit Bar.

The central challenge is managing your pieces while watching the Limit Bar approach. If it reaches your pieces, you risk elimination from the game. Success depends on making careful choices and responding to the changing situation created by the cards and the actions of your opponents.

During the game, you can gain Effect tokens. These tokens grant you benefits and let you interfere with your opponents’ plans, adding another layer to the effort to remain in play. Use them to support your own position or make survival more difficult for the other neurogamers.

• Place the pieces indicated by the cards on your player board.
• Avoid letting the Limit Bar reach your pieces.
• Gain Effect tokens for benefits and ways to disrupt opponents.
• Stay in the game by avoiding elimination.

Released in 2024, TENTRICKS combines careful piece placement with a race to avoid the Limit Bar. Whether played alone or with up to four other players, it presents a focused challenge built around planning, survival, and interference.
