Twixt
Twixt is a two-player connection game. On Little Golem it is played as Twixt PP.
Goal
White tries to connect the top and bottom sides of the board. Black tries to connect the left and right sides.
The first player to create a continuous chain of their own linked pegs between their two sides wins.
Rules
White moves first. On a turn, place one peg of your color on an empty hole.
You may not place a peg:
- on a corner
- on your opponent’s border rows
- on an occupied hole
After a peg is placed, Little Golem automatically creates links from that peg to friendly pegs a knight’s move away, if the new link does not cross an opponent link.
A link connects two friendly pegs separated by two holes in one direction and one hole in the perpendicular direction. Links form the connection network used for winning.
You may remove your own links as part of a move to rearrange your network. You may not remove opponent links.
Swap move
After White’s first move, Black may play a swap move. If Black swaps, the opening peg is mirrored across the main diagonal and becomes Black’s peg. White then moves next.
