Bio-Trio

3 strawberries, 3 squares or 3x blue

Rows of three fruits are the aim of the game! Strawberries, grapes and pears are depicted either in a white square, a white circle or a white triangle, all of them placed on either a yellow, blue or red background. These 27 tiles are heaped face-down next to the board and each player draws three tiles. In your turn you place one of your tiles on the board to complete a row of three characteristics - either of the same fruit or of the same color or of the same background shape. Each completed row of three tiles earns you a chip, and of course you can complete more than one row at the same time when placing one tile. There is of course also the possibility to use previously completed rows as part of a new row. Rows can be formed horizontally, vertically or diagonally. At the end of you turn you draw another tile so that you can always choose from three tiles. When all 24 squares of the board are filled, the player with most chips wins the games, three tiles cannot be placed.

Bio-Trio is a very simple game, and yet offers an introduction how to recognize the characteristics of a row and. It is not obvious for a four year old that a thin blue frame at the edge of a tile, 2 big blue triangles or four small triangles in the corners of a tile are manifestations of the same characteristic, a blue background and thus a trio. Children also train a bit of planning a head and how to recognize multiple rows formed with one tile, and all this using very simple rules and rather pretty components. For the first few games children will need assistance from an adult or an older sibling.
