Domicolor

Domino variant with colors and special tiles. Aim of the game Scoring as low as possible by getting rid of tiles with high values. The tiles The game consists of 70 cardboard tiles with an unusual shape: 3 colored hexagons are arranged around a central hexagon that has a number printed on it. There are 8 different colours, and each colour is assigned a value from 1 to 8. The number printed on the central hexagon is the sum of the values of the three coloured hexagons on that tile (e.g. a blue-blue-red tile would have a value of 11 as blue = 4 and red = 3). Game play The tiles are shuffled and each player is randomly dealt 7 tiles, which he/she puts in front of him/herself face up. The remaining tiles form the draw pile. Players take turns adding one of their tiles to previously laid tiles. Tiles always have to match in two colours, and the new tile has to be laid so that it touches only the edges of the previously laid tile. Players must not fit tiles into each other, there must always be a hexagonal gap between two tiles. A player who cannot add a matching tile continues to draw tiles from the draw pile and adds them to his/her tiles until he/she finds a matching one. A round ends when a player has gotten rid of all his/her tiles. Each of the other players sums up the point values of their remaining tiles and scores are written down. After a previously agreed upon number of rounds, the player with the lowest score wins the game. One of Ravensburger's Traveller-Series games.
