ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

TwixT

"Twixt" is a game that you can play with another person, like a friend or family member. The goal of the game is to be the first person to make a line that goes all the way across the board from one side to the other. The board looks like a bunch of squares linked together, and each player has their own set of pieces.

Each turn, you can move one of your pieces to an adjacent square - that means a square that's next to the piece you want to move, either up, down, left or right. You can also put new pieces on the board if there's an empty spot next to a piece you already have on the board. The idea is to try and block your opponent from making a line, while at the same time trying to make your own line.

It's kind of like a puzzle, because you have to think carefully about where to move your pieces and where to put new ones. It's also fun because you get to use your brain and play a game with other people.
