Pixies is a charming family card game that combines card placement, open drafting, and set collection. It is designed for 2–5 players, takes about 30 minutes, and is ideal for anyone looking for a light yet visually appealing experience.
In the game, you encounter tiny creatures — pixies — made from natural materials such as acorns, moss, pinecones, flowers, and even paper clips. Each card features a unique pixie that radiates magic and playfulness. Players build their own 3×3 grid of cards, representing a forest world filled with these delightful beings.
Each card has a number from 1 to 9 and must be placed in the corresponding position within the grid. If you have two cards with the same number, one is placed below (face down) and the other above — this "validates" the card and earns you points equal to its value.
Scoring:
- Spirals on cards grant positive points.
- Crosses (X) bring negative points.
- Colored symbols provide points based on the number of cards of the same color.
- Color regions: The largest connected group of cards of the same color grants additional points, depending on the round (2, 3, or 4 points per card).
The game is played over three rounds, each offering its own dynamics and scoring opportunities.
Perfect for quick play sessions or as a warm-up for a board game night. If you're looking for a game that blends natural magic, strategy, and visual charm, Pixies is a wonderful choice. 🍄
