Tricky 6 is a clever strategy board game for 2 to 4 players. The game is played with tiles in six different colors, each numbered from 1 to 6. Your objective is to place lines—either horizontally or vertically—on the board, made up of either matching numbers or matching colors. But there’s a twist: • In a number line, all tiles must have the same number but different colors. • In a color line, all tiles must have the same color but different numbers. This means no two identical tiles (same color and number) can be placed side by side, and no line can be longer than six tiles. The game continues until all tiles have been placed. The player with the highest score at the end wins! You can also swap the numbers for different symbols, offering six unique visual variants for a fresh experience. Features: • No ads – completely distraction-free • No in-app purchases – full game, no hidden costs • Local games against the computer • 3 AI difficulty levels: Easy, Medium, and Hard • Local multiplayer on the same device (Pass & Play) • Multiplayer via Wi-Fi • Online multiplayer via Game Center • Unlockable levels and leaderboards • Adjustable tile count for custom gameplay • 6 alternate tile designs • Match replay feature • Built-in tutorial for easy learning
