About this game

THREE COLORS. THREE MINDS. ONE BOARD THAT NEVER STOPS CHANGING.

Travel into a dimension beyond a location of inner or outer worlds. What is within, is with-out. From the superposition of the Glory... All hail this journey...

Enter the surreal world of SKILLHEAD, a competitive turn-based puzzle game built around color theory, strategy, and controlled chaos.

Play as one of three psychological archetypes:

🔴 Id — Red
🟡 Skillhead — Yellow
🔵 Super-Ego — Blue

Spin the zodiac wheel to earn your moves, then transform symbolic pieces across a psychedelic battlefield. Claim white pieces with your primary color, combine colors to create orange, green, and purple, and steal points from your opponents.

But every transformation changes what can happen next.

Complete a secondary color with the missing primary to create a Rainbow—triggering unpredictable rewards of 50, 75, and 100 points across all three players. Take the risk, and your opponent may receive the largest prize.

Transform Rainbow into Grey to gain points, attack both rivals, and permanently exhaust that piece from play.

SKILLHEAD is easy to understand but difficult to control. Every piece is an opportunity, every color is connected, and every move can change the balance between Id, Skillhead, and Super-Ego.

What is within is without.
What appears separate is already connected.
Paint the puzzle. Disturb the balance. Discover what happens next.
