Read the full game description
Yoxii is a pure two-player abstract strategy game centered on a yellow Totem. On a turn, a player moves the Totem one square orthogonally or diagonally—or jumps it over a line of their own pieces—then places a numbered piece beside its new position. The game ends when the Totem is completely surrounded. Victory goes to the player with the higher total value among adjacent pieces, so low numbers create safe structure while high numbers can decide the contest or become dangerous gifts.
