Pips · how to play
Dominoes meet Sudoku.
01
The rules
- Cover every cell with dominoes (each covers 2 adjacent cells).
- The grid is divided into colored regions with constraints.
- =N — pip values in the region sum to N.
- = — all pips in the region are equal.
- ≠ — all pips are different.
- <N / >N — pip total is less/more than N.
02
How to play
You’re given a fixed set of domino tiles (each half shows a pip value, 0–6). Select a tile from the tray, tap its first cell, then tap an adjacent cell to place it. Every tile must be used and the whole shape covered. Tap a placed domino to return it to the tray.
03
A tip
Start with the most constrained regions — small regions with exact-sum constraints have very few valid pip combinations.

Solve a mini Pips together
Step 1/2:The top region is marked “=”, so both its cells must show the same pip value. Only the [3|3] tile can do that. Drag it onto the top row.
Drag the double-3 tile from the tray and drop it across the two top cells.
