help Ataxx FAQ

How does a player capture territory in Ataxx?

A piece can clone into an adjacent square or jump farther away, then opposing pieces next to the new piece are converted. The winner is the player with the majority of pieces when the board is filled or no legal move remains.

Why is Ataxx played on a seven-by-seven grid?

The standard board is a 7 by 7 grid, giving players enough space for expansion, jumps, blockades, and conversion traps. That compact board makes each move visibly change the balance of territory.

Is Ataxx based on the earlier game Infection?

Yes. The concept was created by Dave Crummack and Craig Galley for the unreleased 1988 game Infection, and Leland Corporation published Ataxx in arcades around 1990.

Does Ataxx have a single-player mode?

Yes. Its single-player mode lets a human play against computer opponents, which are presented through the game's science-fiction framing as adversaries from another dimension. The underlying rules remain the same capture-and-convert system.
