A free online multiplayer drawing game where players claim territory by drawing lines, easy to pick up but with emergent strategic depth.
Splix.io is a free online multiplayer territory control game. The game takes place on a shared canvas where players take turns drawing lines to claim areas of the map. The mechanics are simple - each player has a colored cursor which leaves a trail, and they try to box in blank space to claim it in their color. Games have up to 4 players.
There is strategic depth in balancing between claiming smaller areas to score faster points versus bigger ones for more overall territory. Since turns rotate quickly between players, you have to think on your feet. The community metagame has evolved over time too. For example, some players specialize in quick enclosure tactics while others focus on large land grabs or defensively blocking opponents.
Splix.io works seamlessly across desktop and mobile in the browser. The responsive vector graphics and intuitive controls make it easy to pick up for beginners. Yet reviewing past game replays shows the skill ceiling is quite high at competitive play. There is also a solo mode against AI bots. Overall, Splix.io hits the sweet spot between accessibility and depth for a minimalist territory control game.
