Who starts the game?
The player that has the highest scoring Tri-Omino with three of the same number.
What is the highest scoring Tri-Omino that can be played first?
That's a trick question. The tile that equals the most points when added together is the Tri-Omino with three 5's. However if no one has this tile or one with three 4's, 3's, 2's or 1's then the if a player has the Tri-Omino with three 0's they can play this one first and earn 30 extra points plus the 10 points earned from playing a Tri-Omino that has three of the same number.
No one has a Tri-omino with three of the same number to start the game. What do we do?
Don't worry. Have the player with the Tri-Omino that equals the largest number start the game. Note: If you don't play a Tri-Omino with three of the same number then you do not earn any of the bonus points. The scorekeeper will only add the numbers together from the Tri-Omino played.
Why do I have to keep the tiles I pull from the “well” separate from the other Tri-Ominos in my hand?
It's just easier for the scorekeeper to add up how many points to subtract after you find the Tri-Omino you can play from the well.
I chose a Tri-Omino I can play from the “well.” Do I wait to play it on my next turn?
No. You will play it on the same turn you picked it.
