How to play Pips

If you’ve previously engaged with dominoes, you’ll be somewhat acquainted with how Pips operates. As outlined in our earlier hint articles for Pips, the tiles, akin to dominoes, are arranged either vertically or horizontally and connect with one another. The primary distinction between a classic dominoes game and Pips lies in the color-coded conditions you must satisfy. The adjacent tiles don’t necessarily need to be identical.

The requirements you need to fulfill are particular to the color-coded zones. For instance, if it shows a single number, every side of a tile in that zone must total the given number. It’s feasible – and often usual – for only half a tile to lie within a color-coded area.

Here are typical examples you’ll encounter throughout the difficulty levels:

– Number: All the pips in this zone must total the specified number.
– Equal: Each domino half in this area must feature the same number of pips.
– Not Equal: Each domino half in this space must showcase entirely different numbers of pips.
– Less than: Each domino half in this section must total less than the specified number.
– Greater than: Each domino half in this area must total more than the designated number.

If a section lacks any color coding, it signifies there are no stipulations on the segments of dominoes within those areas.
