Phlanxz is a tile based strategy game for 2 to 4 players that uses a unique scoring mechanism called ‘Phlanxing’. Phlanxing allows the player to score pips of a certain color between 2 pips of the same color in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal direction. The players will take turns playing tiles to the board, Phlanxing and/or scoring with the tile played. The player will then place a scoring piece on the pips they scored that turn. The last round of the game is signaled when a player uses their last scoring piece or when a player draws the last tile from the supply. At the end of the game, players will total up the points from their scoring pieces, gaining bonus points by creating patterns on the board (line, cross, triangle and square) with their pieces. The player with the highest score wins!
