How to Play PIPS?

  1. You play with domino-like tiles, each having two numbers.

  2. The puzzle board has colored areas with conditions like:

    • Number (X): Tiles inside must add up to X.

    • Equal (X): Every tile must include the number X.

    • Greater Than (X): Numbers must be bigger than X.

    • Less Than (X): Numbers must be smaller than X.

    • Not Equal: Each tile must display a different number.

  3. The challenge is to place the right dominoes so every zone rule is satisfied.
