Rapid Rules

General Play

1. Players get 9 (if two players) or 7 (if three or more players) Tri-Ominos and keep them hidden from other players. All other Tri-Ominos are placed face down
2. The player with the Tri-Omino that has the highest same three numbers, or the highest total score if no one has three of the same number goes first
3. Players take turns placing Tri-Ominos down one at a time, matching two numbers on their Tri-Omino with two numbers on the board and scoring points immediately for their played piece
   • If players are unable to make a match they need to pick from the well (face down Tri-Ominos) until they get a match
4. The round is over when a player plays all of their Tri-Ominos. They get a 25 point bonus and the total points of all Tri-Ominos left in opponents hands
5. All Tri-Ominos are returned to the well face down and then steps 1-5 are repeated for the next round
6. Rounds continue until a player reaches 400 or more points at the end of the round

• Creating a bridge by matching two numbers on one side and the point on the other side earns the total of the Tri-Omino plus a 40 point bonus
