Tri-ominos

We play a lot of tri-ominos (for kids). It might not be Cole's favorite game, but it is one his parents' favorite games. Sometimes my wife and I even get a quick game at night while Cole is brushing his teeth. The game uses triangle shaped pieces, something like dominoes. You have to play a piece only where the numbers (or animals in the kids version) in each corner match with the piece(s) you are placing it next to. There is some strategy involved in playing your pieces such that you can play more of your remaining pieces next turn. We also play with our pieces face up so it can get a little cutthroat at times trying to block the other players. Play time in the kids version takes only 5-10 minutes per game, and the pieces are small enough to put into a ziploc (there's no board to play on) and take with you to play a game to kill some time, like at the doctor's office, the airport, or waiting to claim your powerball winnings.
