Juxtabo is an unusually colorful, playful game that gets your mind thinking in new ways. The playing board is made up of pieces that are a different color on each side, randomly laid out in a 4 X 4, 5 X 5, or 6 X 6 grid. That grid evolves throughout the game as players stack pieces on it in an effort to change the board to match color patterns shown on a challenge card (thus winning the card). This is done by placing a piece that has the board color on one side and the color you need on the other. The same result can be achieved (this is the really cool part) by placing a stack on the board, as long as the stack's bottom matches the board color, its top is the color you need, and each touching surface within the stack matches in color. Your brain will be zipping around like lightning as you study the board, hunting for needed connections while the timer runs out. The player with the most challenge cards at the end wins the game. For 1 to 4 players.
