In Tryangles, you play on a triangular grid themed around space, featuring black holes, planets, and stars. Players roll a die to determine which triangular polyomino piece they can place, starting from their base. Pieces must connect with at least two sides to existing pieces, aiming to cover planets and the sun to score points.
Who Is This Game For?
Tryangles is designed for two players aged 8 and up, offering a short abstract strategy experience. It suits players who enjoy tactical thinking with simple rules and a quick 30-minute game length for casual play sessions.
How It Works
Each player has triangular polyomino pieces of sizes 2, 3, or 4 spaces. A die roll dictates which piece size can be placed. Placement begins in the player's base and subsequent pieces must connect with at least two sides to existing pieces. Black holes cannot be covered, and planets and stars must be fully covered by a piece. Points are earned by covering planets and the sun.
What Makes It Special
Designed in 2009 by the Indian Institute of Technology Industrial Design Centre, Tryangles blends abstract mechanics with a space theme.
