Träxx fits the style of Qwixx — another Benndorf creation — and Christof Tisch's Mosaix in that some random thing is presented to all players, then they use it the best way they can in their individual playing areas. Mosaix gives one player each turn the ability to arrange the rolled dice, but then everyone must place this dice arrangement in their grid (if possible), while Qwixx gives a whiff of a race in that you can close out a scoring column before someone else, thereby potentially causing them to be pantsed in later rounds when they can't tick off a number.
Träxx boosts the competition for this style of game as players can cut the scores of their opponents by hitting targets before they do — but naturally you can't hit everything first, and in your race to kneecap opponents, you can end up doing more harm to yourself than them.
