Take It Easy

Take It Easy is a tile-laying board game designed by Manfred Schadt and published in 1983. It is a strategy game where players attempt to maximize their scores by creating lines of matching numbers on a hexagonal grid.

The game involves a set of hexagonal tiles, each printed with a number from 1 to 9 and a series of lines radiating from the center to each of the six edges. All players use the same tiles, drawn randomly from a central pool, to populate their individual boards.

The goal is to arrange the tiles in such a way that each complete line of hexagons on the board displays the same number. Scores are awarded for each complete line of matching numbers.

Key aspects of the game include:

  • Objective: The primary objective is to score the most points by creating complete rows of matching numbers.
  • Gameplay: The gameplay involves drawing tiles and placing them on a personal game board, trying to create continuous lines of the same number.
  • Tiles: The tiles used are hexagonal and contain numbers from 1 to 9, and are drawn randomly.
  • Strategy: The strategy focuses on placement and trying to anticipate future draws, making the right decisions, and maximizing scores.
  • Scoring: The scoring is based on the number and lines formed on the board.
