One player plays all the hexes of one color and the other player plays all the hexes of the other color. The first player begins by claiming 1 empty hex for their color. 2. Starting with the second player, each player must claim 1 or 2 hexes on their turn. 3. If the largest group of hexes at the end of a turn is larger than the largest group of hexes at the beginning of that turn (regardless of color), the next player may claim up to 3 hexes on their turn. (This does not apply after the first player claims a single hex in step 1 above.) 4. The game ends when the board is full. The player with the largest group wins. If the players’ largest groups are the same size, compare their second-largest groups, and so on, until you come to a pair which aren’t the same size. Whoever owns the larger of the two wins. Catchup is an original Board Game designed by Nick Bentley.

It only takes a minute for anyone to learn how to play Polyominoes, but it is challenging enough to keep both kids and adults engaged for hours. Each player has a rack of colored tiles to play on the board. Play your first tile at any corner of the board. After that, each tile you play must touch a corner of a tile of the same color, without touching an edge of that color. Win by covering more of the board than your opponents. Play progresses around the board until there are no places left to play. Polyominoes is simple to learn, but game strategy is difficult to master and game play is unpredictable. Play by yourself against the game, or with up to three of your friends. Need even more of a challenge? Higher difficulty levels are available through in-app purchase.
