Nine Tiles Panic allows 2-5 players to take their stacks of tiles featuring roads, government agents, citizens, dogs, houses, UFOs, and hamburger-loving aliens.
Though little has changed about the broad mechanics of the game (each player receives nine double-sided tiles and race to fulfill goals), the racing aspect has changed a bit to make the game more interesting without losing the puzzled fun of the previous iteration. Designer Jean-Claude Pellin has since been joined by Jens Merkl to create the game’s successor, Nine Tiles Panic. In 2015, Oink Games released Nine Tites, a quirky little puzzle game that gave players goals to achieve by arranging different tiles (each double-sided with different shapes and colors). In Nine Tiles Panic, arrange your nine tiles into a 3 by 3 grid quickly before the timer runs out, or else the aliens will get all the hamburgers.
