Who it's for

Ideal for two players who enjoy tight abstract games like Connect Four or Hex and want deeper tactical layers.

Not for you if…

Avoid if you're looking for a group game or something with theme β€” this is a lean, purely tactical head-to-head.

🦊

Vibe's take

Sharp and cerebral β€” every drop is a dual-purpose move, part attack, part defense, with no room to hide.

About this game

LINKX is a two-player abstract duel about racing your opponent to a connection. Each player drops their own set of polyomino pieces into a shared vertical grid, and the first color to link both sides β€” or top to bottom β€” wins outright. No dice, no hidden information, just pure spatial pressure.
