Domino Merge — drop dice, match 3, make a bigger number
Domino Merge is now live — a dice-merge puzzle rebuilt for kids 5–8.
How it works:
- A two-dice piece waits beside the board. Tap it to flip it (sideways ↔ upright).
- Press a spot on the grid and the piece drops there — a ghost shows exactly where both dice land before you lift your finger.
- When three matching dice touch along their edges, they pop together into the next bigger number. If that sets up another match, the pops keep going — a happy little chain.
- Reach the level's target number to win and move on.
The deliberate design choice: no timer. Domino Merge is about looking ahead — where do I drop this so a third match lands, and can I set off a chain? A countdown would turn that planning into a panic. There's no clock; the only pressure is the board slowly filling, so a few careless drops can box you in.
Early levels teach the rule with low dice on a small 4×4 board. Later levels raise the target, shrink the dice you're handed, and grow the board to 6×6 — so your child has to build longer chains to climb. Levels are endless and progress saves locally: close the tab, come back tomorrow, same level.
Best for ages 5–8. Builds spatial planning and setting up chain reactions — the same reasoning family as Color Sort, Zip, and Tangram.
