Twizmo! Original

About this game

Twizmo! is made up of two parts. A Twizmo cube, which is a twistable puzzle cube with 9 faces per side, and a deck of square cards. In Twizmo Original, the faces and cards are made up of 6 symbols. The 54 cards have 9 of each symbol, as does the Twizmo cube. Twizmo! Original’s simple rules bely the use of spatial and deductive reason along with strategy and a little bit of luck needed for a win. Its thoughtful pace is great for bringing young and old minds together and its universal appeal transcends language and culture. Twizmo! is all about creating sets of three matching icons. Players take turns twisting the cube, with the goal of creating “three-in-a row” groups of similar icons on the top panel. A “3-in-a-row” set on the cube allows a player to collect all of the visible cards with the matching icon. When players have collected 3 cards with the same icon, they may turn that set face down; that card set is “closed” and cannot be taken by another player. To win the game, collect the most card sets, or at any time during the game, collect a set of all nine matching cards for an instant win!
