From BoardGameGeek
Jinxx is an abstract strategy game for 2-4 players featuring striking stacking pyramid-shaped pieces in three sizes and four colors--black, white, gray, and clear. In Jinxx, players jockey for position on a 3x3 grid. Pyramid size and a die roll determine your possible moves on each turn. Use your move to capture an opponent's piece or better position one of your own pieces. If you own the topmost pyramids in any three-space line through the center, you win! But be careful - you can also be eliminated if you lose too many of your pieces!
