Twixt is a classic two-player abstract strategy board game invented by Alex Randolph in 1962. The game was first published in the United States in 1962 by 3M as part of their bookshelf games series.
Players take turns placing pegs of their color on the board. Red connects top to bottom, while Blue connects left to right. Links can be formed between pegs that are a knight's move apart (like in chess). The first player to create an unbroken chain of links connecting their sides wins!
No, links cannot cross each other. This is a fundamental rule that adds strategic depth to the game.
No, the four corner points are not usable by either player.
Some players believe there is a slight advantage to going first. Advanced players sometimes use the "pie rule" where the second player can choose to swap positions after the first move.
