Games Galore For Under The Tree

Chromino

Discover Chromino, the refreshing variant of Dominoes. Use colours instead of numbers as a new way to keep your mind alert. At the beginning of the game a Chromino”cameleon” (with a special center,) is placed on the table. During each turn a player places one Chromino in contact with another one that is already on the table. But beware for at least two of its colours must touch and match at adjacent pieces. When a player can’t play a Chromino, respecting the two colour rule, they must draw another Chromino. To win, just be the first player to play all of your Chrominos! A great feature of this game is that it can be played solo or with up to eight players! The suggested player age is 6 and up.
