Pips NYT greets you with a board full of colors and a handful of dominoes, and right away it feels different from the usual logic fare. Instead of hunting for words or connecting categories, you’re interpreting tiny regions that each speak their own numeric language. Some areas want matching values, others insist on differences, and a few ask you to hit a very specific total.

Seeing the game as a reader encountering it for the first time, it has a quiet pull to it. You start sliding pieces around just to experiment, and suddenly the board becomes a puzzle you can’t walk away from. The rules are clear, the goals are firm, and yet every arrangement feels like a small personal solution you’ve crafted. It’s thoughtful, colorful, and oddly calming; perfect for anyone who likes puzzles that encourage exploring rather than rushing.
