Game 1: Connecting Symbols (beginner)
One player plays the X’s and the other plays the O’s. Try to be the rst player to connect
4 squares of your symbol in a vertical, horizontal or diagonal line.
Components
22 bricks
Illustrated rules
Object of the Game
X’s and O’s take on a whole new dimension in
this one of a kind strategy game. Players take
turns stacking pieces to build a wall of bricks.
The rst player to align four of their symbol or
color in a row wins the game and claims the
wall!
Watch out! Each brick contains both your
symbol / color as well as those of your
opponent. So each time you add a new piece,
you risk helping your opponent win the game!

Game 2: Connecting Colors (beginner)
One player plays orange and the other plays blue. Try to be the rst player to connect
4 squares of your color in a vertical, horizontal or diagonal line.
One player plays both colors and the other plays both symbols. Try to be the rst to connect
4 squares of one of your own characteristic in a vertical, horizontal or diagonal line.
All 22 bricks are placed in the center of the
table to form a draw pile within reach of both
players.
The rst player starts building the wall by
taking one of the bricks from the center
and placing it between both players (either
horizontally or vertically).
Taking turns, each player adds one new brick
to the wall, placing it either vertically or
horizontally.
Each new brick must lie at, and in line with
any other previously played bricks.
A new brick cannot be placed at an angle or
extend past other bricks so that part of it
hovers in the air.
Game 3: Connecting Symbols VS Connecting Colors (advanced)
Playing the Game

Important
• The wall can never be more than 8 sym-
bols wide.
End of the game
If placing a brick causes 4 (or more) of one
player’s colors and / or symbols to line up on
the wall, then that player immediately wins the
game.
Note
If you place a brick on the wall that would
make both players win, you are the player who
wins the game.
• If nobody has won by the time all 22 bricks
have been placed, then players continue the
game by removing bricks from the wall and
returning them to a new location on the wall.
• Players will need to be careful that the
structure does not collapse, because if the wall
falls over on your turn, you lose the game.
• You cannot move a brick that your opponent
moved on his last turn.
