Tantrix Rankings

The ranking of online players is calculated from a database of over 2 million games. New players begin to move up or down the national and world rankings every time they complete a game, depending on the rank of their opponent and the size of their win.



Tournaments

The most eagerly anticipated events on the Tantrix calendar each year are online and table tournaments. Our thanks go to Steven Trezise of London, the first ever Tantrix world champion, who got the tournament system up and running back in 1998.



World of Tantrix

Early editions of Tantrix (1987-1992) were made from cardboard. Since 1993 the tiles are made from a tactile vintage plastic. Over the years, Tantrix has won numerous awards around the world such as the British "Gold Award for Best Game" and the Hungarian "Toy of the Year Award".



Playing Tantrix

Tantrix can be played in many ways and most versions are available online. You may wish to solve a puzzle while racing against the clock, play a friend in a relaxed Cafe game, or try to beat the best Tantrix robot in the world.



Tantrix Community

Apart from the competitive aspect of playing Tantrix, much of the enjoyment comes from the player culture. We are privileged that such a strong and likeable online community of players has developed. Find out more about who those players are.



Advanced Play

To become a top Tantrix player requires skill and dedication. Several hundred players have earned the Master title over the years, but only 100 actively hold it at any point in time. A good way to improve your skills is to review and analyse past games.
