Polyominoes 6.0 is an addicting game based on polyominoes.
A polyomino is a piece made up entirely of squares connected
edge-to-edge. For example, a domino is a polyomino with 2 squares. In
Polyominoes, you can use pentominoes, tetrominoes, trominoes, hexominoes,
or create a set of your own pieces using the Piece Editor.
Polyominoes is really three games in one. In game mode, you have a very
interesting strategy game in which you try to put the last piece on the
board. The pieces can be flipped or rotated in any manner. You can use
any of the 90 different boards, or create one of your own using the Board
Editor. In puzzle mode, you can try to place all the pieces on any of
the boards. In spanning puzzle mode, you try to "span" the board with
the fewest number of pieces. The program keeps track of all of your best
efforts.
Polyominoes is Shareware, $8.00 registration fee. Please visit the
