Deluxe Tri Ominoes

Not many people will have heard of Tri-Ominos but we’ve had the game since as long as I can remember. Our set was bought in the early eighties when I was a really young so I would have had no interest in this and I don’t recall playing it then. My parents tell me they used to play it, which explains this. It does look like a dull game to play and for young children it would be, especially now with all the computer games they have. *** So what is Tri-Ominos? *** Tri-Ominos works on the same principle as a game of dominoes but the tiles are triangular and instead of dots you have a number at each point ranging from 0 through to 5. You have to place ...  Read the complete review

Triominoes is a variant of dominoes in which tiles are triangular and thus have three sides, with each side having a number. At this point you might wonder two questions, firstly is this a cheap rip-off and second is there any point in adding extra sides to a domino. The answer in my opinion to these questions is no and yes respectively. Tackling the first question, triominoes are not a recent idea, and as pointed out by other reviewers, they have been around for an alarmingly long time given that not that many know of them. As for the second question, there is certainly a point in having an extra side since I think that it adds two extra things ...  Read the complete review

-0- TriOminos by Goliath - the three sided domino game -0- Just how many of us know of the traditional game of dominoes ? Now how many of you have played it ? No doubt 90+% of us will say yes .

Dominoes just got more complicated. You have to match triangular tiles to play this game. The deluxe set comes with a tray to put the pieces on which is useful. You also get instructions and score sheets in the box. Scoring is done by adding up the numbers on the triominoes laid down and you also get extra point for making certain shapes. Itsounds quite simple but its amazing how many times you look at your triangular pieces and think you can play and when you lay it down it just won't match no matter how you try it. There is also a solo game where you match dominoes to make certain shapes. This is much more interesting than ...  Read the complete review

Are we the only family to own this game??!! Ok, who out there dosn't know the game of dominoes? I think that everyone in some stage of their life would have played it.. Ok this is a variation of that game. On three sides of the tile there are different numbers, you have to match up all the sides of the tile, when you try to fit them in. There are ways of scoring on which you have a scoring sheet to help you to score. You have different bonuses, for different shapes that you can make. You can also play a solo game (or solitaire game rather) which is based on making certain shapes, this is not as easy as it may seem. If you like dominoes, I am sure that you ...  Read the complete review
