Understanding these core rules will help you excel at domino placement and regional conditions
Gameplay Mechanics
1. Place Dominoes
Drag and drop dominoes onto the grid. Players can rotate dominoes by tapping to spin them 90°. Each domino has dots that must satisfy regional conditions.
Simply click and drag dominoes from the tray area onto any colored region on the game board. The dominoes will snap into place automatically.
2. Regional Conditions
Each section of the board has rules that domino dots must follow. Colored regions indicate different mathematical conditions that must be satisfied.
Every colored area on the grid represents a specific rule. All domino dots within that region must meet the stated condition.
3. Completion
When all dominoes have been placed correctly and all conditions are met, a congratulatory page will appear. If conditions have not been met, you'll get a message stating the puzzle is incorrect and can continue to rearrange the dominoes.
There's no losing, only completing the puzzle! Take your time and use unlimited undos to perfect your solution.
Regional Conditions
Each section of the board has rules, such as:
Equal
The domino dots in the region are the same number
Not Equal
The domino dots in the region are not equal
Greater Than
The domino dots in the region are greater than the number next to the symbol
Less Than
The domino dots in the region are less than the number next to the symbol
Sum Target
The domino dots in the region must add up to that specific number
No Rules
Empty/blank regions have no conditions
Difficulty Levels
Three daily puzzles: Easy (4-5 dominoes), Medium, and Hard (up to 16 dominoes). Each level offers progressively more complex challenges.
