Development began over 2 years ago with this goal in mind. The design team reseach showed that all tile matching games available on the market shared a few common themes.
1.) Nearly all allowed scoring only in a single direction (e.g. across or horizontally)
2.) All had square or rectangular tiles
With
this in mind, new scoring methods and tile shapes were explored in an attempt to break away of single direction scoring. Ultimately, hexagonal tiles were selected and stacking incorporated as a
means of enhancing game play and scoring opportunities. From
these basic premises Pentoggle was born.
Pentoggle consists of 75 colored tiles (red, orange, yellow, green, and blue) with the numbers 1 - 5. There are 3 tiles of every color / number combination as well as 5 Wild tiles. When played, Wild tiles represent any color / number combination as selected by the player placing the tile. The goal of the game is to score the most points by strategically placing your tiles next to other tiles. Pentoggle masterfully balances luck (tiles are drawn from a bag) and strategy (where should I place my tiles to score the most points) and is enjoyed by kids and adults alike.
