Bored with dominoes? Tri-ominoes is a game with the same idea except that instead of being rectangular with a number on each end, the tiles are triangular with a number (from 0 to 5) in each corner.

Other than that, the game plays pretty much the same as in dominoes. There's some strategy in the game as you need to plan to be able to get rid of all of your tiles. Some of your tiles can be very hard to get rid of; often a mirror-image of your tile would be playable but yours is not - and no tile in the game has a mirror image - so you'll have to pursue another avenue to play that tile.

I find that the rules as they stand can be vastly unfair and overpunish bad luck. Since a triple-number tile has only five other tiles it will touch, if you are unfortunate you could draw half of the draw pile before you are able to go. Additionally, with two players, both usually cross the winning score of 400 in the third game so the winner is invariably the winner of that game. Instead, I have a house rule of best-score-after-three-games. This seems to be more balanced for two players.

I have had Tri-ominoes for over fifteen years, and it still comes out of the game closet frequently. This game is a stayer.
