Playing Tantrix

At the book fair in Deventer this gentleman was happily introducing Tantrix to everybody who came by and showed interest. Tantrix, invented by Mike McManaway from New Zealand, is an elegant table strategy puzzle game requesting and offering a mixture of skill and chance. For us it was the first time we heard of it and it was fun to watch!

The 56 hexagonal tiles in a set contain 3 lines each with different colours, and no two tiles are identical. Players place tiles to create the longest line or loop, or any other shape.
