Overview

What ABG knows about this game

Another game in the StrataGems line of abstract strategy games. Players attempt to place three of their colored pixels in a row while at the same time blocking the other players from doing so. The twist in Pixels is where you can place your pixels on the 8x8 grid. Along the top and side of the board are sliders that point to 1 row and 1 column. The intersection of the 2 sliders show where you must place you tile. On your turn you can only move one of the 2 sliders, NOT both. This limits your placements to a specific row or column. Be careful not to set up your opponent's next move and you might win. 2008 Mensa Select
