Quixo

Quixo If tic-tac-toe grew up, took a strategy class, and got a makeover, you'd have Quixo—the fast-moving, brain-boosting game that's as pretty as it is puzzling. Here's how it works: grab a cube from the edge of the board, mark it with your symbol (X or O), and slide it into a new spot—shifting the whole row or column along the way. Suddenly, your perfect plan is toast... or your opponent's is. The goal? Be the first to line up five of your own in a row—horizontally, vertically, or diagonally—before your sneaky rival beats you to it.Quixo is super easy to learn (seriously, under a minute), but don't let that fool you. This isn't a passive little pastime. Every move counts, every shift matters, and every play might just be helping your opponent if you're not careful.It plays great with two players—or split into teams of two for some wild back-and-forth. And with its sleek wooden pieces and classy board, it's one of the few games you'll want to leave out on the coffee table.Quick rounds
