Domitrio , originally Settrio , is an abstract placement and strategy game for two to six people that was developed by Mark Fuchs and published by the American publisher Maranda Games . The game combines elements of the domino game and other lay-on games such as Qwirkle . In 2013 Domitrio was included in the “Mensa Recommended Games” list of “ Mensa Select” of the Mensa International Association.

Background and game material

Domitrio consists of a set of 36 domino-like tiles, each of which consists of two honeycomb-shaped, six-sided individual parts. Each of these has one of three symbols (star, circle and hexagon) in one of three colors (yellow, red and blue). None of the double tiles appear twice. There is also a six-sided cube, on the sides of which are the three symbols in black and three colored areas with the three colors. The aim of the game is to completely place your own game pieces in the resulting placement pattern and thus win the game.

Game flow

To prepare for the game, all tiles are shuffled face down in the middle of the table and form the draw pool. Each player receives five of the tiles and places them in front of him so that other players cannot see them. A tile is turned over and represents the starting tile for the deposit.

A starting player begins the game, then all other players play in clockwise order. The active player receives the dice and throws it so that it shows either a symbol or a color. The player now tries to place one of his tiles on the tiles already on display. The new stone must be placed on one of the tiles already on display that corresponds to the die result, and it must complete at least one set with the new tile. A set consists either of three symbols lying next to each other that match in color or symbol or differ in both properties. Correct sets are accordingly:

  • three symbols of the same color with three different shapes,
  • three symbols of the same shape with three different colors, or
  • three different shapes with three different colors.

At the same time, the newly created part must not form an additional invalid set in a different direction.

If a player does not have a piece that can be placed on a suitable piece on display and forms a valid set, he draws one of the pieces from the draw pool. After the player has either added a piece or drawn a new piece, he passes the die on to the next player.

If a player succeeds in correctly placing his last piece on his turn, he ends the game and is the winner of the round.
