Triple Cross is a unique and wonderful strategy game. At first it seems familiar, like a newer, updated version of Connect Four. But it is so much more than that. The similarity to Connect Four is that Triple Cross is a vertically played game where you try to get 3 of your colors in a row, thats where the similarity ends. At first, Triple Cross seems relatively straightforward, just get sets of your color in a row. Dont be fooled by the simplicity, there is a whole lot of logical thinking and strategy incorporated into this game. That all happens as you learn how the tiles move and push each other around, sometimes into different spots and sometimes out of the game board altogether. There will be times you think you have 3 in a row only to have all of your hard work ruined in a single move and your tile unceremoniously handed back to you. The unique two-segment pieces slide unconventionally through openings on the sides of the board. It’s all rather ingenious. This is a game for 2 players, but some testers told us that can be played with two people per team so that strategy can be discussed. This quickly became one of the most popular games of the testing period. The replay factor was off the charts. The reasons for that are varied, maybe because it’s so unique, perhaps because the gameplay is so speedy. It could also be because its easy to learn but also sophisticated enough to keep the sharpest minds entertained…Our guess is that it’s all of the above. The bottom line is that this is a terrific game that you are going to want in your home.
