MOD X is an abstract strategy game in which each player is provided 15 game pieces and 18 score markers, with the goal being to reach an established number of points (determined by the number of players). Players take turns placing a game piece on the board with the objective of creating specific scoring patterns (in the shape of either an "X", a "PLUS SIGN (+)" or "5 in a row") while simultaneously trying to block their opponents from scoring with these patterns. After creating a successful pattern, a player places score markers on the board where his or her pattern was created. Players can then lose their score markers if other players create scoring patterns over their score markers. In the end, the first player to score the established number of points needed to win will be declared the victor. The game can also end if a player runs out of game pieces or score markers. If that occurs, the game ends immediately, and player with the most points at that moment is the winner.
