Axio

Axio is a neat 1 to 4 player game for ages 8 and above that plays in about 45 minutes.

In Axio, players take turns adding tiles to a shared playing area. Each time you play a tile — with tiles bearing one or two colored symbols — you score points for symbols of the same type that are in rows extending from the recently-placed tile. Tiles can be placed on other tiles in some situations.

When the game ends, players check the scores for each of their symbols, and their final score is equal to the lowest value among them. Whichever player has the highest low score wins!
