TacTile is an engine building abstract strategy game where you move pawns on a board to trigger bonus actions from your tableau of cards. Your goal is to cross the modular 4 color board and score both your pawns in your opponents home first. • As you advance across the board you can gain resources and buy colorful action cards. • Action cards are permanently added to your tableau and can give one free action 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! 4p 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. -description from publisher
