TacTile is an engine building abstract strategy game where you move discs on a board to trigger bonus actions from your tableau of cards.

Your goal is to cross the 4 color board and reach your opponent's home with both of your discs first (or your ally's home in a 4 player game)

As you advance across the board you can gain resources and buy colored action cards. Action cards are permanently added to your tableau and can give one free action per card per turn, but you must activate them by landing on a matching color tile. Build your action engine and use clever positioning to activate your cards in this combo-tastic game of tile tactics!

4 player mode is a competitive 2v2 team battle with special cooperative abilities including the ability to push your ally's pawn and swap cards with your ally. Your aim is to get your discs diagonally to your ally's home, and win by scoring three out of your four team's discs.

Your free basic actions are two different choices from:

  • MOVE: Move one of your pieces up, down, left or right
  • GAIN: Gain a resource matching the color either of your discs are on
  • SWAP: Swap a resource you own for another color, or swap a card with your ally
  • BUY: Buy a card from the market
  • RESET: Replace the market with fresh cards

Other potentially available actions are:

CONVERT - In an Overdrive game you may exhaust two available actions for a free action of your choice, once per turn. Available actions are activated action cards, basic actions are not available for convert.

PUSH - This card action allows you to move your opponent, or ally's, disc.
