About this deal

If at any point we think that we will take longer than this, we will inform you as soon as possible. For even more challenges, try to complete as many PENTAS as possible with all the pieces, progressively moving the slider up to increase the difficulty. This Katamino edition has thousands of possible combinations! This sole game really doesn’t do much to change the fact that Katamino is really presented as a series of 2D puzzles, each set within a 5x grid. For example a Penta 6 is created by laying the slider between the number 6 and the number 7 on the game board (see below). There are 12 polygon pieces included in Katamino. Each of these pieces covers 5 spaces on the board and is called a Pentamino.

Along with a large, full color booklet, the star of Katamino is the brightly colored set of wooden pentominoes all set in a wooden frame. The twelve Pentominoes in the Katamino wooden frame.

Your goal is to completely fill the board space between the edge and the divider (known as a “penta”) with the allotted pieces. When you have solved that penta, you move the divider up one space along to between 4 and 5. Now, you use the 4 pentaminos shown in row A to completely fill what is a larger board space.

The pieces are painted in bright, kid-friendly colors. The frame is solid, with a grid painted onto the bottom to help you count/visualize the number of squares needed to be filled. If you take five identical squares and arrange them in different 2D shapes, you’ll end up with 18 different shapes.

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.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. The two or three player strategy game is accomplished on a square board divided into 64 smaller squares.
