We played this game with friends a couple of years ago for the first time. I was hooked!
Tri-ominos is a three sided tile game. The first one to reach 400 signifies that to be the last game. You may play two or three games to reach it though. The highest scorer wins.
The tiles have different numbers on all three sides, these have to be matched to those already placed. You score points for the total of the joined tiles. Sounds easy doesn't it, well it's not!
To start the game, the player with the highest triple number places their tile, other players continue from there. You can create some very weird shapes during the game.
If you have no tile, this means you have to pick up from the spare pile(a maximum of three), you are penalised for doing so and if you still cannot go, again points are deducted from your score.
To score points, you either have to place a tile next to one with the same numbers or, you could make bridge between a gap scoring you further points.
As the game continues you find yourself turning the tiles round and round in the hope that it fits a tile already placed. Can get you quite frustrated!
Whoever finishes first collects all the points from other players tiles, plus an additional bonus for winning.
I really enjoy Tri-ominoes, the games can be quite lengthy as players tend to sit and look over all of the tiles on the board. You are best to grab yourself an egg timer and set time restrictions. Stops you getting frustrated waiting for your go.
No two games are the same and it is best played with a team of four. Can get hilarious when you take it to a party, some people miscount the numbers, put down the wrong tiles or just sit in hysterics.
