## What is Tessel?

Tessel is a colorful tile placement game. Place tiles with matching colors to make shapes and fill the board. The larger the shape, the higher the points.

Choose from a wide range of tiling patterns to form endlessly varied tesselations:
• Square

• Deltoidal-trihexagonal
• Penrose P3
• Snub square
