I was chatting with Andy in the office this morning about Qix strategies (see previous for info on how to play). Andy is a keen mountain biker and very quickly came up with some interesting ideas.
- Qix over a long time period. A game doesn’t have to be completed in one session- could go on for days or weeks at preset times.
- Qix lets you enclose an area by using existing territory as part of the area
- Qix lets you completely encircle someone else’s territory. This could mean that you would lose it or just that you couldn’t get to it.
- Qix could be played in 2 or more different geographic locations – one would just need to choose the same available area.
- Qix Britain – the person (or team) with the greatest amount of Britain covered in a set time (year) – would need to be a rule preventing planes from taking part. Or have different games for different speeds (so < 10 miles per hour / greater than / high altitude
