Triples
Join ones and twos, then keep the numbers growing.
How to play Triples
Each move slides the tiles one step. A 1 and a 2 make 3; equal tiles of 3 or more combine with each other. The preview shows the next tile. Play with the original Nickelbar rules and board drawings. Help below the game lists its keyboard and mouse shortcuts. Your current game stays in this browser tab.
- Swipe or use the arrow keys to move the board.
- Combine 1 with 2, then match equal larger numbers.
