Triangle Maker 2017

Triangle Maker is an abstract strategy game in which two to four players compete by forming triangles. Players use the thirteen pieces to make triangles to score points. This educational board game is a fun way to hone players’ creativity, spatial awareness, critical thinking, and concentration.

The two movable pieces are the game changers of Triangle Maker. Clever use of these pieces can tip the balance to your side and name you the ultimate victor!

The goal of the game is to make the most and/or biggest triangles with the pieces available to earn the most points. Every newly formed triangle adds to your score. However, there is one rule: You cannot place pieces where the same colored lines overlap.

There are four different ways to play Triangle Maker:

1. Card Game

a. Shuffle the cards b. When it is your turn, draw the first card and place the corresponding piece onto the board. (Earn tokens based on the number or size of the triangle[s] made) c. You can use either of the movable pieces during your turn instead of drawing your next card. d. Whoever gets the most points wins!

2. Strategy Card Game
