Encyclopedia > Trax (game)

Trax is a two-player abstract strategy game, invented by David Smith in 1980. The game is played with a set of tiles on which sections of black and white track join adjacent edges on one side and opposite edges on the other side. Players place tiles adjacent to those already in play such that the colours of the tracks match. The objective is to get a loop or line of your colour while attempting to stop your opponent in their colour.


Trax World Championships have been held since 1984.

Sharky Extreme - Games - Mad Trax Preview (326 words)
Mad Trax is an arcade-style racer at heart, where you have to pick up power-ups and weapons during the race, in order to maximize your performance on the track as well as make life tough for your opponents.
The visuals in Mad Trax are quite something, especially the horizon effect where the scenery fades out gradually as with fogging just that there is no fog to speak of (have a peek at the shots later in this piece to see what we're talking about).
The game features a total of 20 different tracks which range from futuristic cityscapes to deserts and wastelands and a total of eight different cars for you to wreak havoc in.
