Analog Play for the Future of a Thinking World

A modular game of stacked grids

Let’s break it down! A Grid is where the play begins. Each Grid is made of a set of axis lines. Players make a move by placing their mark in a play zone. Just like tic-tac-toe, completing a line sequence makes a win!

Example of Grids in Stax with black axis lines, circled play zone, an example of a win with three in a row diagonally and an example of a no win game with one mark in the upper left and two subsequent marks down the center

Fields introduce layered play by using Grids to create a three dimensional playing board. Winning isn’t just about three in a row anymore! Completed lines can run up and down or across and through the Grids.

Systems are the ultimate brain challenge! Combining Fields creates a System. You can win by completing a sequence within a single Grid, across an entire Field, or spanning the full System.

More space. More paths. More ways to win.

No social media. We’re more interested in creating reasons to sit down together.
