Gaming With Grandma - 25
My Mum (Grandma to our kids) was ill last week so we didn't get a chance to play any games together. This week, however, she was feeling a bit better so popped around for her usual Saturday morning visit.

I have a copy of Triominos which I haven't played. Why is it interesting?
I found it interesting how I had to rotate the tiles in my mind to see if they could fit anywhere. I'm still trying to figure out if there is a strategy - like trying to set up positions to win bonus points by laying down my tiles in certain order. As the first player to use up their tiles first is the winner of the round then it will be the person who is best at recognising places to place their tiles who will do better. If you can't (or think you can't) place a tile then you must pick one up from the remaining pieces to see if you can place that new tile. Unfortunately, picking up a new tile means negative points and missing out on reducing your overall tile count. Players could suffer from AP as a result so a timer would come in handy. Interestingly it's a game where there is no playing board, as such, sort of like Hive. I can't compare it to normal Dominos because I've never played it. I gave Tri-ominos a 4 on my BGG rating. I guess it would be a passable 'family' game.
