 | Trax |  Trax is an elegant game played with one type of tile,
which has a cross on one side and two quarter-circles on the
other.  The goal of the game is to form a closed loop in your
color, or a line which extends eight spaces from margin to
margin.  Spaces where only one tile can fit are filled
automatically.   There are a few more conditions in
the official
rules, but that's really just about it.
 
 Trax is a fast, tactical game, where one player is almost always
threatening an immediate win.  Played by experts, pattern
recognition seems to be more important than deep analysis.
 
 Robots:
the robot players for Trax are pretty good, but still
beatable.  They're definitely good enough to teach you the
game, but not good enough to use to practice for a serious tournament.
