Game Rules

Game Rules

Watch “The 3-Sided Evolution of Dominoes: How to Play Triominos!,” a how-to-play guide for Tri-Ominos from Game Rules on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Game Rules on YouTube:

Think you’ve mastered Dominoes? It’s time to take the strategy to the next level with Triominos! In this tutorial, I’ll teach you everything you need to know about this classic tile-matching game that adds a whole new dimension of geometry and scoring to the traditional formula. Triominos (or Tri-Ominos) uses triangular tiles where you must match numbers on two sides, rather than just one. This leads to complex patterns, satisfying connections, and huge bonus point opportunities like Hexagons and Bridges. Whether you're a Rummy Cube fan or a Dominoes pro, Triominos is a fantastic addition to your family game night. In this Triominos Tutorial: [00:00] - Introduction to Triominos 00:10 - Game Setup: Dealing Tiles & The Well 00:36 - Starting the Game: High Triples & Starting Bonuses 01:36 - What to do if nobody has a Triple 02:12 - How to Play: Matching Tiles & Scoring Points 02:51 - Drawing from the Well & Point Deductions 03:54 - Huge Bonus Scoring: Completing Hexagons (+50 Points!) 04:17 - Huge Bonus Scoring: Building Bridges (+40 Points!) 05:07 - Ending the Round & Winning the Game 06:31 - Final Thoughts: The "Rummy Cube" Vibe Why you'll love Triominos: Strategic Depth: Bonus points for Hexagons and Bridges keep every player on the lookout for big moves. Brain Teaser: Matching three sides instead of two forces you to think about spatial patterns. Family Favorite: Easy enough for kids to learn, but with enough "overhead" scoring to keep adults competitive.

About Tri-Ominos, from BoardGameGeek:

Triominos is a game similar to Dominoes, in that players are laying tiles that match up to other tiles in the play area, with the goal to get points and be rid of tiles. In Triominoes, the pieces are triangles with numbers that are matched on each side. Each triangle has 3 numbers at the points, so to place a piece next to it, it must match two numbers on the side. Pressman also released Quad-Ominos. Goliath released a 6 player version with 20 additional unique stones as Triominos Gold.
