XIMA guide

Game modes

The board rules are the same in every mode. What changes is who decides how many steps you take: you, the dice, or a mix of both.

How the dice work

Each die is one move: the chosen block must travel exactly that many steps in a straight line. You can use both dice on different blocks or on the same block, changing direction between them, in either order. When entering a block, the edge square counts as the first step.

In Cienzar, at the start of your turn you either make one free move, as in Science, or roll both dice and make two moves.

Practice

You can play every mode against the bot on four levels (Easy, Medium, Hard and Unfair), try positions in the FreeBox sandbox or solve the daily puzzle.
