Our Editorial Review
Product Description The classic triangular domino game! Features sturdy plastic playing tiles with big, easy to read numbers! Players score points by matching numbers on the three sided playing pieces. Tri-Ominos combines strategy, luck, and exciting new challenges every time you play. Contains playing pieces and instructions. For 2 to 6 players.
Editorial Review In Tri-Ominos, a number-matching game, players begin by drawing several tiles, taking care to keep the numbered sides hidden from their opponents. The first piece is played and, depending on the numbers involved, bonus points might be awarded. With the first piece on the table, players start matching numbers. If they don't have a matching tile, they draw from the "well" until a match is made. They receive penalty points for each tile drawn, but will be awarded points when they finally make a match. Certain matches (closing a hexagon, or building a bridge) will earn players as many as 50 bonus points. Fun for the whole family, children will be adept at matching numbers wherever possible, and adults will appreciate the strategy involved in making the best moves for the most points. The first player to accumulate 400 points wins. --Wendy Slotboom

Tri-Ominos Game Posted 01 February 2007
I purchased this game for a friend at work. I am pleased to report that her and her family enjoy the Tri-Ominos Game tremendously. It's a very enjoyable and family oriented game.
Vintage Triominoes Game Posted 19 January 2007
It was great to finally find this game. The stores don't carry it anymore and it is a lot of fun. I had it mailed directly to my parents' home for the holidays and we thoroughly enjoyed playing the game. The price was excellent too!!!
Fun for the whole family - really! Posted 18 March 2005
So many times, games promoted as "fun for the entire family" are really not; they are either difficult for the youngest to understand (or have a chance at winning without "help"), or oh-so-tedious for the adults. I've played this game with friends and family from ages 7 to 70, and everyone has a great time. The concept and rules are simple; there's enough strategy involved to hold adult interest, yet enough luck involved to even the playing field. The kids get a real thrill out of defeating us adults "fair and square". There's a juvenile version available for very young children, but even our 7-year-old liked the adult version (maybe because it made her feel "grown up".) Conversely, the juvenile version (which uses pictures instead of numbers) is no less of a challenge to adults than the original, and the pictures are really cute! The only durability "threat" is loss of game pieces. Educational value is limited--matching & numbers--but Tri-ominos more than redeems itself with a 5 in "family togetherness" value. Worth more than every penny of its price!
Review of older version of this game Posted 14 December 2003
I have an older set of Tri-Ominos. This is an elaborate version of dominoes, with the pieces being triangular. The triangle shape results in complex configurations and occasional chances to score bonus points by completing hexagons or bridging one section to another. The game is fun and, with each round taking 15 to 40 minutes, the pace is fairly quick. There is some strategy and planning involved, but it's mainly a game of chance. My older version is very sturdy, but the version sold here appears to be different, and I do not know about its durability.
poor Quality Posted 11 December 2003
We have the original game and the playing pieces are much more durable. I was very disappointed in the quality of the playing pieces in this addition. I could not give this as a gift as planned.
