Triominos® adds a third dimension to the classic game of dominoes. Experience the game in different play modes. You can single play against a computer, multiplay against someone you know or someone else who plays, do a challenge or a puzzle. ▶ PLAY AGAINST YOUR FRIENDS Triominos is an online, multi-player game, that lets you compete with your friends and family anywhere, any time. Search for your friends by username or invite your Facebook friends to play. You can play as many games as you want, simultaneously! Receive push notifications when someone invited you or made a move. ▶ OR PLAY BY YOURSELF If you want to play on your own or practice in between games with friends, try the single player mode—you can test your skills and strategy by playing against the computer. ▶ HOW TO PLAY Slide your triangular tiles onto the “board,” matching one of the sides with the side of a tile that’s already in play. You’ll earn points for each tile you play, and bonus points for making combinations like a bridge, a hexagon, or a double hexagon. It’s easy to learn and quick to play—whether you sneak in quick moves while waiting in line for lunch or sit down and play for hours. © 2017 Pressman Toy Corporation Made Under License from Pressman Toy Corporation
