About Pips
Pips is a puzzle game based on domino logic. Players place domino tiles on a grid divided into colored regions. Each region has a rule involving the numbers (pips) on the domino halves. The goal is to fill the board with dominoes while meeting all regional conditions.
The puzzles vary from simple to more complex challenges. For more games like this, check the Puzzle Games category.
Gameplay Overview
Each colored region has a rule that must be followed using the domino tiles placed there. These rules include:
- Number (e.g., 5): The sum of the pips in the region must equal the given number.
- Equal (=): All domino halves in the region must show the same value.
- Not Equal (≠): All domino halves must show different values.
- Less than or Greater than (<8 or >2): The total pips must be less than or greater than the specified number.
Place domino tiles by dragging and dropping them onto the grid. Rotate tiles as needed to fit the rules. You can remove tiles to correct mistakes.
How to Play Pips

- Remove Mistakes: Click a placed domino to remove it and reposition if needed.

Strategy and Tips
- Start with Clear Regions: Begin with regions that have simple or strict rules, like those marked with “=” or low sum totals. These help fix certain tiles early.
- Work from the Edges: Focus on board areas with fewer tile options to limit possible placements.
- Check Sums Carefully: Make sure the sum of pips matches the required values to avoid errors.
- Experiment and Adjust: Remove and reposition tiles as needed. Trial and error is part of solving the puzzles.
