About the game

What is Tic Tac Trek?

Explore the wilds in a 2-player tile-laying simple strategic game. The closer you camp to the unexplored wilderness, the higher you'll score. Tic Tac Trek is a light strategy game. Players take turns drafting tiles from a bag to place in the shared play area. If the tile placed forms 3 in a row, the player can place one of their campfire tokens in the tile just played. Play continues until all tiles have been placed from the bag. Players will then score their campfire tokens that are in the play area. Each empty space surrounding the campfire scores 1 point. The player with the most points wins.
