Simplexity is exactly what the name implies, a simple game that has layers of complexity built into the rules. Playing Simplexity requires you to keep focused, not only on your moves but the moves and thought process of your opponent. It would be a mistake to call this a tic-tac-toe or four across game because there is much more involved, besides this game looks way more beautiful. The wooden set impressed testers as being the kind of game they would want to leave out on the coffee table. The game will challenge your visual sensibilities as well as your ability to anticipate the moves of the person sitting across from you.
