Brax (game)
Brax is a two-player abstract strategy board game. It was invented in 1889 (or shortly before) in America by Frederic B. Denham of New York City. The board design is unique. The players move their pieces along paths on the square board; each path is one of two colors. A piece can move one or two spaces in a turn depending upon whether it matches the color of the path. Players attempt to capture each other's pieces. Brax was featured in ''The Book of Classic Board Games'', written by Sid Sackson and published by Klutz Press in 1991, which ranked it among the top 15 board games in history. The game is also known as Jinx. A unique feature in Brax and Jinx is that players can call out "Brax" or "Jinx" if their piece threatens the other player's piece(s). This forces the other player to move the threatened piece on their next move (no other piece may be moved), and the threatened piece is jinxed; hence the name of the game Jinx. There are three-player, four-player, and "fox and gees ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Development The book grew out of an article "The Future as a Way of Life" in ''Horizon'' magazine, Summer 1965 issue.
