The gameplay
So simple – and yet so gripping
Play, laugh, win
TAC is more than a game – it's an experience that brings people together.Get marbles home
Each player has four marbles that must be moved once around the board and into their own home area (Haus) using cards.
Use cards wisely
Every round you get cards to move your marbles forward – or send your opponents' back.
Think tactically
Block, trick, and surprise your opponents. And don't forget: your partner's success is also necessary for a joint victory!
The TAC card
The most powerful card in the game: with the TAC card, you can take over an opponent's last move and turn it completely in your favor.
The trickster
With the Trickster, you swap one of your marbles for an opponent's – one of the most surprising moves in the game.
The Warrior
Capture the nearest marble on the board with one of your own marbles, no matter how far away it is – a strategic move that can turn the game around.
Community cards
Some cards let you help your fellow player – true team spirit
