PolyPlots		[video] PolyPlots is a game about growing the most fruit using triangular plots of land. As a farmer, you strategically claim territory to grow fruit. The game employs simple arithmetic using the recently discovered (2023) PolyKite Aperiodic Math "Miracle" Tiles. Two to four players compete to grow the most fruit by laying tiles to form and claim triangular plots of land. Die rolls form only 20 mathematical outcomes between 1 and 36. Add, substract, multiply or divide the two numbers rolled. For example, rolling 3 and 4 can only yield 1, 7 or 12. Plots are claimed with coins that match outcomes. During playtests, two interesting observations: Kids liked being able to steal plots to maximize their score. They enjoyed matching and aligning tiles of their own color. 13-Sided Polygons for games and puzzles ...
