REAL TANTRIX TILES
Tile History

Tantrix tiles have evolved considerably over the past 14 years since the Mind Game was first invented. Mind Game tiles were made from cardboard and had two different line colours, red and black on a yellow base. Today Tantrix tiles use three different line colours for the Discovery puzzle, four colours for the Tantrix game. Over the years, sets with different backgrounds were published, black and various marbled colours such as white and green.
Tantrix Tile Index

The image below shows all 56 tiles contained in the Tantrix Game Pack. Game Pack tiles have numbers engraved on the back of each tile for easy identification. If you own an earlier version of Tantrix (no numbers), then please scroll down further to the "Classic" set tile index. Comparing a tile pattern with either index will allow you to find the corresponding tile number. A Tantrix set can be split up into four colour groups:


No-Blue tiles:

No-Red tiles:

No Blue Tiles


No Red Tiles


No-Green tiles:

No-Yellow tiles:

No Green Tiles

No Yellow Tiles



Classic Set Conversion

The images below depict the 56 tiles of a Classic set - an early version of Tantrix which used unnumbered tiles. The table to the right allows a conversion between Classic set and Game Pack tile numbers. The first column identifies the tile number of the Game Pack, the second the corresponding tile of the Classic set. The third column represents a tile's colour sequence. For example, read the first row as follows: Tile number 1 of the Game Pack is the same as tile number 37 of the Classic set. Its colour sequence is Yellow-Yellow-Blue-Red-Blue-Red.
