Jomino is a domino variant with tiles showing clown faces composed of 1 to 7 components. Players place tiles either on top or right only if they have more components than the last tile, and bottom or left if they have fewer. The goal is to discard all your tiles as quickly as possible, demanding quick pattern recognition and fast play.
