Tac Tickle is an abstract two-player strategy board game for the Classic Mac, released in 1992 by John Lindal and published by Absoft Corp. Players take turns sliding their pieces sideways by one square, racing to be the first to line up a target number of pieces in a row.
Gameplay
You and your opponent alternate moves on a small grid. During a turn, a piece can only move sideways by a single square. The objective is to be the first player to line up a required number of your own pieces.
Strategy
Because moves are restricted to single sideways steps, planning ahead and blocking your opponent's developing rows are central to play. Each shift can both advance your line and obstruct theirs.
