PLAYED FOR YOU

Triominos Tribalance

BALANCE EARNS YOU POINTS!

Tri stands for three - first for the triangular board and the shape of the pieces and also for the maximum number of players, and balance just means balance, which at the same time describes the mechanism of the game. The already mentioned triangular board is placed on a ball and reacts to each piece that is placed.

Each player has - depending on the number of players - a different number of pieces in his color, in sizes One to Four. You place those pieces into triangular dents, which are marked with numbers for points, to achieve the best possible result. If you place a piece successfully, you can at the end of the game score points equal to the result of multiplying the size = weight of the piece with the number in the dent. For a piece to be successfully placed the piece may not disturb the balance of the board permanently. When the board achieves a balanced status again, even when briefly touching the table with a corner, when a piece was placed, the move is valid. But when the board keeps touching the table with one corner and does not move back, the move has failed and you must take back the piece and miss this turn. When you have placed a piece at a certain position, you cannot change your mind. When one of the players has placed his last piece, all other players have one more turn and then the game is scored: You take the pieces in your color off the board and add the results for each piece. From this total everybody deducts the size of pieces that might have been left over. Whoever achieves the highest total, wins.

Even after 20 years this is still a fantastic game, simple, elegant and challenging!
