4 clever games you'll want to play over the holidays
"Domino fan? Sudoku fan? If you like either or both of those games, you'll love Pips, a new logic puzzle game from The New York Times. The rules are simple: Place your domino tiles on a game board to meet a set number of conditions. Some regions must have the same number of pips-those dots that make up the face of your domino tile; others must add up to a certain number."
"You know that really annoying CAPTCHA puzzle you have to sometimes complete to prove you're not a robot? Well, game designer Neal Agarwal has turned it into a mischievously addictive computer game. I'm Not a Robot features 48 puzzles that become increasingly difficult as the game progresses. One minute, you're checking boxes with stop signs on them; another, you're trying to park a Waymo with your keyboard's arrow keys."
Holidays can prompt a search for solitary activities after exhausting social interactions. Four phone or computer games offer alternatives for alone time or brief distractions at gatherings; the final option requires at least two players. Pips is a New York Times logic puzzle using domino tiles: place tiles to satisfy regional pip counts or sums and meet all requirements; players can attempt up to three puzzles per day at different difficulty levels. I'm Not a Robot transforms CAPTCHA tasks into 48 escalating mini-games that range from checking symbol boxes to parking a Waymo and culminate in a frenetic Dance Dance Revolution-style challenge that very few players reach.
