Twixt (also spelled as TwixT) is a two-player board game involving pegs and links, where the goal of each player is to connect opposite sides of a square board. A link connect two pegs that are connected by a chess knight's move. The game was originally invented by Alex Randolph, and later commercialized by 3M.
