A tile-laying game in the tradition of classic dominoes, but played with diamond-shaped tiles on a triangular grid. Each diamond is made of two triangle halves, each showing a color and number (or a wild symbol). Place tiles by matching a triangle (half a tile) to an adjacent triangle already on the board: match the color or number, or use wild for either. Unlike a rectangular grid, pieces can point in any of six directions, adding a new axis of potential moves.
