Description:

Tantrix Xtreme is a more challenging version of the Discovery game for more advanced thinkers. Tantrix Xtreme contains eight loop puzzles that are similar to the Discovery puzzles but with an extra twist - no colour clues are given for each level. Two new 'pyramid'' puzzles that provide an even greater challenge complete the set.

Tantrix Discovery has 10 bakelite tiles (measuring approximately 4.5cm across) and contains ten solitaire puzzles with the aim being to make ever increasing loops of different colours. The simplest puzzle uses just three tiles and each tile added leads to a new, harder puzzle so it gets more and more challenging.

When you play Tantrix for the first time you rapidly begin to understand why it won 'Puzzle of the Year 2000' in Australia and 'Best New Game' at the Paris Toy Fair. It is a hugely enjoyable way to develop strategic thinking, spatial ability, problem solving and memory skills and is perfect for both adults and children.

The basic idea behind all of the games in the Tantrix collection is to arrange the tiles to form loops of one colour. It sounds incredibly simple, and to start with it is! However, it becomes more and more difficult the larger the loop you try to create.
