Under development

This game is currently under development, in the Nearly Complete stage. Feedback is strongly encouraged! Feel free to give comments on game design or structure on the talk page.

What if.... you could place an X or an O during a game of tic-tac-toe?

Juxtapose is a four-in-a-row game in the spirit of Martian Tic-Tac-Toe, Tic Tac Doh!, and Hextris, using only a single Treehouse set.

Setup[edit | edit source]

The pyramids should be placed somewhere off the board, in easy reach of all players.

The player who has the oldest nickname goes first.

Play[edit | edit source]

Juxtapose is played in two stages: Drop and Slide.

Drop it![edit | edit source]

On each player's turn, he or she chooses one pyramid from the stash and places it on an unoccupied square of the board. Yep, it's just that easy. Once the last unplayed pyramid is placed, the Slide phase begins.

::MPU ::LPU ::SPU ::SPU
::LPU ::SPU   ::LPU
::SPU ::LPU ::MPU ::SPU
One possible completed Drop phase

Slide it![edit | edit source]

On each player's turn, he or she may either:

  • choose two pyramids that are on adjacent squares of the board (two squares are adjacent if they share a side or a corner). Those two pyramids switch locations.

'OR'

  • move a pyramid into an unoccupied square from an adjacent orthogonal square, but not the piece that was last moved.

Winning the Game[edit | edit source]

There are two winning conditions in Juxtapose. The winner of the game is the first player to:

'OR'

  • line up all three pieces of one color consecutively in a straight line, either orthogonally or diagonally. Ta-da!

Note: For purposes of forming a line, the board is considered NOT TO wrap around. That is, opposite board edges are not adjacent, and opposite corners are not adjacent. Thus a line of pieces that crosses over a board edge cannot count for victory.
