The hexadominoes (hexagonal dominoes) – is an unusual game
conception. Its main feature is the fact that playing elements (pieces,
tiles) have
six-sided (hexagonal) shape but digits are applied only onto four
opposite sides of playing elements.
The hexadominoes term as a name of this variant of dominoes game was chosen because playing
elements, on which digits are applied onto six sides, are usually called
“hexamino”. But in principle, the hexadominoes game is the same by
digits as the quadradominoes
game. It differs from the quadradominoes game due to the fact that game
board squares and playing elements (pieces, tiles) are six-sided (hexagonal)
shapes.
The hexadominoes set consist of two standard sets (each set has 24
playing elements, and digit combination from 1 to 3 is applied on each
playing element). They differ from each other by presence/absence of
dark circles placed on back sides of playing elements, and they differ
from each other also by contrast orienting arrows, which are located on
face sides of playing elements.
The hexadominoes set arrangement is the same as the quadradominoes game
arrangement. It means that two colors of each set designate proportional
groups in the content of sets, which have proportional digit quantity,
and also that their digits have proportional orientation in relation to
orienting arrows. In this case, if these playing elements are placed on the game
board in accordance with orienting arrows’ direction, players have equal
odds to win and game interaction between elements is optimal.
The game board is included in this game set. And this board squares have
form which is the same as the hexagonal playing elements form.
The light and dark squares are alternated in specified order. Horizontal
squares have numerical designations. The game board central part squares
are marked by a contrasting color.
The possibilities of location of these two sets’ elements and of
elements of two proportional groups, which belongs to a content of these
sets, in the initial playing positions are shown in figures 1 and 2.
The arrangement and configuration of playing elements may be other ones.
The proposed design – is only experimental model, which gives
possibility to become acquainted with the hexagonal dominoes (hexadominoes) concept.

This is file in Russian where rules of games are written in Russian, but
in this file there are images for printing hexadominoes elements and
images for printing the game board.
The hexagonal form of game elements and hexagonal form of the game
board seems unusual in comparison with the form of a traditional
dominoes or a square dominoes (quadra dominoes), but nevertheless the
hexagonal form is unique and consequently I bring to your attention the
hexagonal dominoes.
I hope that
offered game of a hexagonal dominoes will seem to you interesting!
