Quickomino

Four-sided simultaneous domino

49 square tiles are - mostly - carrying pictures on both sides, they show four-sided clover leaves on a blue, green or red background; in each of the four leaves another image is depicted. The background color of each image correlates to the level of difficulty. For every game you choose one of the colors and thus a level of difficulty - blue represents an easy game, green a medium one and red stands for a game at expert level- You sort out the necessary tiles and shuffle them face down.

One tile is placed for a starting tile, the rest is dealt evenly to all players. On a Signal all players turn over their tiles and all try at the same time to place their tiles in a way that the images correspond to the images on the adjacent tiles You turn over all tiles first and then search for suitable spots! Tiles are not turned over and placed one by one! Whoever places his last tile first, wins the game.

The images on the tiles are easily distinguished, albeit sometimes depicted in very similar colors - and of course a tile that is placed adjacent to more than one tile already in place must show corresponding images with all tiles that it touches when being placed. As all players play simultaneously the display is changing very quickly and if you cannot place at a tile you simply pass until one one of your tiles fits.

Quickomino continues the series of nice, felicitous family games from Piatnik in the small square box; Quickomino, too, is pretty, simple, plays quickly and is a good game for in-between or for beginners, with very concise rule and offering lots of fun in looking and being quicker than all others.
