Tastomino

Waves or dents?

A game of domino, that at the same time stimulates visual and haptic perception.

You can use it to play a regular picture domino or use it for a variant based on touch. For the regular picture domino the standard rules apply – one tile is placed for a starting piece, then players in turn add a corresponding tile or draw a tile from stock which can be placed immediately, if it fits. The first player to place all his tiles wins.

For the variant using touch players in turn draw five tiles and put them into their personal bag. Then the first player places one tile. The other players take a good look at the edges on both sides of the line and try to find a corresponding tile in their bag by feeling all the edges. If you find an eligible tile you can place. If you pull a wrong tile from the bag and try to place it must put it back and draw a tile from stack. All other rules are those of the standard game.

An important factor in the game is the information on the shape of the tiles – the edges do not fit together as in a puzzle piece, but are formed exactly identical – when placing the tiles this results in gaps between the edges of two tiles. A wavy dent in one tile does NOT correspond to a wavy rise on another tile, but needs a wavy dent on the second tile, too.

The pictures on the tiles are interesting, too, the do not show two identical pictures, but one square depicts two parts of a picture, one of them can be continued – so the game is also visually challenging.

The game is also suitable for use with persons with special needs, and is a fine and attractive variant of a well-known standard mechanism.
