TwixT is a 2-player abstract game invented by Alex Randolph. Some old US sets mention a 4-player variant, with 2 teams as in Bridge, but this probably wasn't Randolph's idea. The game was popular in the 60s and 70s as part of the 3M Bookshelf Series . Avalon Hill then acquired the series and issued the game themselves. Now Hasbro owns AH, but they haven't marketed it yet.
TwixT is a "connection-type" game, very similar to Hex . Other related games are Havannah and The Game of Y . "Connection type" means the object is to form a path connecting something to something else. This requires very different thinking from the standard battle-type game such as chess or checkers.
