Gigamic Katamino Classic Puzzle and Game

Product Information

Back in the mid-80s, a Soviet software engineer created an early video game using only four squares.

The frame is solid, with a grid painted onto the bottom to help you count/visualize the number of squares needed to be filled.A PENTA is a group of several pentaminos which perfectly fills the rectangle bound by the positioning of the slider. Choose one each of the mirrored image shapes and add them to the twelve others and you’ll have what is known as a set of Pentominoes. Continue solving PENTAS, each time adding the Pentamino shown in the next column and moving the slider up one space until you have completed PENTA 8 of Line A. Some of our partners may process your data as a part of their legitimate business interest without asking for consent. If you enjoy puzzles or have/know kids who do, Katamino is a good entry into the pentominoes and their puzzle-y possibilities.

As it is, recently I have been drawn back to Katamino whenever I had a spare 10-15 minutes before dinner.Position the slider on the board between the numbers 4 and 5 and make as many PENTAS 4 as possible by finding 4 pentaminos among the 12 that can be assembled. One of the 2 players chooses 1 maroon rectangle, 1 maroon square and 2 red squares from the small pieces.
