This board game was sent to me by Gigamic:

Quixo on BoardGameGeek:

I love how you always say who designed the game. Most people don't even bother, but you let us know which cool person designed it.

I think there should be more of these super simple "coffee table" board games out there, I don't play a lot of board games but this one seems really nice to have around anywhere.

[randomripoff]

oooh love when a simple concept still holds a lot of room for strategic play without having to keep a bunch of complicated rules in mind. v interesting! and always love to find more 2-player games.

The cubes look oddly edible. If I hadn't seen the title I would've thought this was one of your food reviews instead of a board game review.

Quarto by the same devs is an easy favorite of mine. Everyone I show it to loves it when you play with the advanced rules.

As soon as I saw the sliding mechanic, I knew I wanted to try this out. What a neat concept.

[flowerheit]

i think we used to have this at the games store where i worked a million years ago (it was actually like seven years ago)! it's a neat little twist on tic tac toe, and very easy to explain to people

I love your channel for the comedic skits, but you always do a great game breakdown and introduce smaller games that can easily fit into my collection!

Great review!

[BrightBlueInk]

Shout out to the copywriter that thought up the box description, they explained the game really well and also had some great puns, haha

[T_for_teth]

As someone who often watches your skits, I decided to check this vid out! Perhaps I'll check another. Thanks for making the vid, nice and relaxing too!

the games by gigamic are all fantastic. They have one where u build a lil pyramid out of spheres and it also is super simple and elegant but has great strategic depth. I am a big fan of timeless designs.

I played this game all the time with my grandma when I was little, those were the good days

[justapotato]

This board game is similar to tic-tac-toe, but with a significant twist. Nice!

Kinda looks like a rubik’s cube made love with a waffle

[nomorecontinues]

This does look fun and relaxing. Thanks for the quick review!

[Skywolf]

I like to watch your a lot of your videos. They are very entertaining to watch and I also like the board games you describe to us and what your supposed to do.

My family has had this game for well over a decade at this point and I've played it a fair bit. In the class of n-in-a-row games I've played (tic-tac-toe, gomoku/wuziqi/5-in-a-row, Connect6, and this), this is one of the more interesting (rivalled only by Connect6) because of the fact that no pieces ever go "out of play". You can play it with a pie rule to mitigate first player advantage (in particular there's an odd number of squares), theoretically, but I don't think anyone will play this enough to get good enough that this matters.

I have a sudden desire for a baloney and cheese sandwich

[nickbk]

This looks super fun, I will def buy this if I come across it in a store!

Lol I thought this was some weird food review at first. Looked like cubed cheddar on a slice of round ham.
