What is Pips?

Pips is a domino-based logic puzzle published by The New York Times Games. The New York Times game gives players daily boards in different difficulty levels, and each board combines domino placement with colored region rules.

Unlike a traditional domino game, Pips is not about matching the ends of tiles. You place every domino on a shaped board so each colored region satisfies its condition.

A Pips puzzle has two main parts: the board, where dominoes must be placed, and the rack, where the available dominoes start. The challenge is to use every domino exactly once.

The colored regions are the real logic of Pips. A region can ask for a target sum, equal values, different values, greater-than, or less-than. The puzzle is solved only when every region rule is true at the same time.
