How to Play Attacktix
Attacktix is a table-based battle game that uses collectible characters from multiple licensed franchises like Star Wars and Marvel Comics. It takes the common practice of kids making up battles with their action figures and organizes it in a regulated structure, designating many famous sci-fi and comic characters as fighters and giving them specific strengths and powers. It adds strategy and tactics to the imaginative adventure games that so many have created with their toys.

1
Assemble your army of characters. Each character has a point value that is shown on your base. Your characters' combined point values must equal the game's limit, and you can have backups equaling half that limit. In a 100-point game, your army has 100 total points with up to 50 points of backups.

2
Check the special powers of each character, which is written on the underside of the base. Make sure you know the abilities and when they can be applied during the game. If the power includes being able to summon extra characters, set aside those characters.

3
Set aside a table or similar 3-by-3 foot surface. The borders of the square at each player's end are the starting lines; each player places his characters on the starting line at the beginning. Players will set aside backup characters to their left and defeated ones to their right.
-
4
Place each character on the starting line and move them each two "clicks." In other words, push each character piece forward along its rollers until you hear the rollers click twice.
-
5
Move each of your characters towards the other player's end on your turn. Each character has a number displayed at the top of the base and can move in any direction up to as many clicks equal to that number. The number will also change colors from red to white and back with each click.
-
6
Declare up to two attacks from your characters at your opponent's. Once in range, use a character's retractable weapon hand to try and knock down the other piece; you can also shoot projectiles from a distance if your character has that ability. A character piece that is knocked down is defeated.
-
7
Check the character's movement number (the one that changes colors) when it is knocked down. If the number is white, the character's special ability kicks in. Otherwise, the character piece is removed from the game.
-
8
Continue alternating turns with each player moving and attacking until one player loses all characters, declaring the other player the winner.

Tips & Warnings
One popular way to determine who goes first is to roll one character piece across the table and have the other player guess red or white. If the movement number on top of the base is the guessed color, the guessing player goes first; if not, the other player goes first. If you fire a projectile on your turn, reload the character's weapon at the start of your next turn.
