Shiftago Extreme
Duration: 15–45 minutes
Shiftago Extreme is an extension of the Shiftago Expert variation, and the aim of the game, how to play the game and how the game ends are all the same, with the following exception:
Scores are also awarded to lines of four marbles (2 players) or three marbles (3–4 players); however, the score obtained in this case is 0 (see right).
Even after receiving a score of 0 points, it is the same player‘s turn again, just as when awarding scores for lines of any other length.

Blue inserts a marble and in doing so creates a line of three for Orange (Fig. 1), forcing Orange to take a 0 score for this line of marbles.
