Abstract Strategy

Chromino

Chromino – short for "chromatic domino" – challenges players to empty their hand of chromino tiles first. Each such tile has three colors on it laid out in a 1x3 row. At the start of the game, each player takes a hand of eight chrominoes and a special start tile with a wild center square is placed face-up on the table. Each turn, a player either places a chromino from his hand onto the table – with that chromino tile matching at least two colors on adjacent tiles already on the table – or else he draws a new chromino tile from the stock, playing this tile if possible and keeping it otherwise. The first player to empty his hand wins.

Dominó de colores. Cada ficha tiene tres colores (algunas tienen comodín). Para jugarlas hay que hacer que al menos dos colores casen con las piezas ya jugadas. Cuando solo te queda una pieza, se desvela, y el resto de los jugadores tienen ocasión de tratar de "chafarte" la jugada final. Muy sencillo, facil de jugar y de explicar, sin grandes pretensiones. Lo conocí de la mano de Pau y Rtz en una cena en casa en Feb 2010
