Overall, Crosswise has a strong replayability score of 8.1.

The game outcome is primarily determined by player strategy and decisions, with luck playing a minor role.

Overview

From the publisher... The Family Game That Has Players Thinking in All Directions! Think ahead as you place each tile in this fast-paced game of strategy, because your opponent is creating vertical columns while you create horizontal rows. Earn the most points with different combinations of shapes while blocking your opponent, but watch out—action tiles let players move tiles unexpectedly. Simple and fun to play for all ages; games last less than 20 minutes. Includes 18"-square game board and 60 wooden tiles. 2 players or teams.
