Rules
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.
White starts.
Players place tiles adjacent to those already in play such that the colors of the tracks match.
If an adjacent space can only be filled by one type of tile in one orientation, this space must be filled in the same move until no such space exists.
Players are not permitted that would result in nonplayable spaces.
The objective is to get a loop or a line of your color while attempting to stop your opponent in their color. A loop may have any size, but a line must stretche at least eight rows or eight columns.
Chameleon Trax
Chameleon Trax is played as Trax, except that a player wins by achieving a loop or line in either color. The game was invented by Bill Taylor (New Zealand) in 2004.
