Pocket Loops

Pocket Loops uses a 12 piece subset of the Kaliko tiles with paths in two different colors. Each set has a random set of tiles, made from left-overs of the acrylic version of Kaliko. These tiles are hexagonal, each one having 3 paths that cross the tile from one edge to another. To play the game, each player uses 6 tiles and tries to be the first to form a specific hexahex shape with matching paths. There are 82 different hexahex shapes, formed from all possible arrangements of 6 connected hexagons. The rule sheet includes puzzles for solitaire play. There is also a version named Pocket Loops 3 that uses 16 all-different three-color tiles. To play this game, each player starts with 7 tiles, the remaining 2 form the starting pattern. Players take turns placing tiles, such that each tile touches at least 2 other tiles and the path colors match. Each segment of the paths extended by the newly played piece scores 1 point.
