Tringo - Free Fun Online Puzzle Game

Meet your new addiction

From , former About.com Guide


Tringo combines the familiar shapes of Tetris with the addictive quality of Samegame.

The object of the game is to place the shapes on the playing board such that you clear blocks (squares or rectangles) and leave as few blocks on the board as possible. That sounds simple enough ... right?

The catch is that you have limited time to place each piece as it is highlighted and you lose points if you skip placing a highlighted piece. Each game consists of 35 turns.

There is a guide to the right of the playing board that shows the current piece with a bubble in one of the squares. That bubble shows you the square that will be used to align the piece with your mouse pointer when you click on the game board.

This addicting little game started out as part of the Second Life online community, but is now free for anyone to play. Enjoy.
