Trapstax vs Root Down Usage & Stats
Can you stack all of your pieces before your opponent?
Trapstax is an abstract strategy game in which each player tries to block, jump, and stack their way to victory! This must be done while keeping an eye on the 50-move limit.
A game can be played in real time in as little as 15 minutes. Or carefully scrutinize each move, playing a turn-based game over several days.
The rules are simple. On your turn, you can:
• Move any stack horizontally or vertically.
• Jump a stack over a smaller stack.
• Place a stack on top of an equal or greater stack.
Trapstax shares characteristics of the classic board games chess and checkers. Toward the end of a game, logical reasoning becomes critical as each move becomes more important, and the move limit approaches.
Leaderboards include a unique rating system, as well as wins, draws, and losses. There is also a leaderboard for games completed in the least number of moves. We aren’t sure what the fastest possible game is, but maybe one day we will!

Root Down is an original abstract strategy game designed by Martin Grider for 2-players. It's rules about which pieces you can move are a little quirky, but once you figure it out, it's very quick to play, and has some interesting gameplay mechanics.
In Root Down, you have two types of pieces. There are "kicker" pieces that must be next to a "root" piece to move. (Root pieces cannot move.) Kickers can only move exactly as far as the number of kickers next to the root.
After a kicker moves, it "kicks" all of the neighboring pieces, then settles down into a new "root" piece. If you kick one of your own root pieces, it becomes another "kicker"! Kicking an opponent's root does the same, and if you kick it again before it has a chance to move, you'll to capture it!
The game features an AI player, as well as pass-and-play options. There are several variable setups to chose from. Each one plays slightly different.
