TAQTON

NORMAN is your game host. TAQTON is easy to learn, but reaching the finish takes more than simply moving forward. Each player controls four pawns, moving them clockwise around the board with one die and choosing which pawn to move after every roll.

The challenge begins as you approach the Q Zone. Entering requires the exact number, while special Q fields can move pawns forward and sometimes carry them past the entrance, forcing another lap. Landing on an opponent’s pawn sends it back to the start.

TAQTON also features a dedicated Online Card Extension with four different card sets: BRIGHT, MECHANICS, TWIST, and KNOWLEDGE. During gameplay, the result of a dice roll determines which set you draw a card from, introducing additional actions, challenges, advantages, and unexpected twists.

Timing, positioning, and a little luck can change everything. The goal is simple: be the first player to bring all four pawns safely into the Q Zone.
