How to play pips
In PIPS you have a multicolor box network. Any colored area represents a different “state” you need to achieve. You have a number of Domin’s products that you need to spend charging in the network. You must use each domino and to achieve any condition correctly to win. There are easy, medium and heavy layers.
Here is an example of difficulty tier pipes:

As you can see, the network has a bunch of symbols and numbers with each color. On the other hand, three purple squares must not be one of the same equal (hence the equal sign stopped). Two pink squares next to that must be equal to a total of 0. Zig-zeagging blue square must be equal to each other. Click on Domains to rotate them and they will need to rotate to fit where they belong.
Not shown on this network are other conditions, such as “less than” or “higher”. If there are multiple tiles with> or To win, you must use all your domins by filling out all squares, be sure to fit each state. Play today’s puzzles here. Below are solutions for simple and medium plates. After that, I’ll walk you through a difficult puzzle. Spoiler forward. Today’s Pips Screenshot: Erik Cain Today’s Pips Screenshot: Erik Cain Let’s make complete hallways of today’s heavy pips. It starts like this: Today’s Pips Screenshot: Erik Cain This is a bit tricky to type where to start, but when in doubt, I just choose the side and I’m looking for the conditions I can do. Sometimes you have to go with trial and mistakes. Today I decided to start my left side and I work my way to the right. Several observations: There are 2 = groups of two tiles and 2 = groups of three tiles here. We have several domains that could meet these conditions. 6s, 4, 3 and 2s. This is a tricky way to start. Based on shape, however, I knew that the upper left and the lower part had to harmonize certain ways (horizontal and vertical, which limits other domino paid. I put 3/6 domino from purple 3 in orange = vertical and 1/3 domino in purple <3 and pink = horizontally. I then put 6/5 domino in orange = to dark blue <6. То сам урадио, јер би се на основу начина на који би се то поравнали, знао бих да ће морати да поставимо двоструко домино у зелено = јер је ружичасто> 3 Tiles should also be placed in green =, boxing box. Today’s Pips Screenshot: Erik Cain Then I put 6/2 domino in a pink> 3 plate in green = and then 2/2 domino would be finished Green = Group. The only double domino was 4/4 and was not a domino who had 4 and a pip greater than 3, so it had to be 2. Today’s Pips Screenshot: Erik Cain Finally, 4/4 domino has put in blue =, 3/5 domino in pink = in a free tile, and 4/3 domino from blue = in the last remaining free tile, as so: Today’s Pips Screenshot: Erik Cain At first I got this a little wrong. I first posted 3/6 just as upstairs, but then I put 2/2 domino in purple <3 групу у ружичасто =. На крају крајева, било је довољно 2 године да то учини. Проблем је био да ми треба да је двоструки домино за зелено и 4 нису радили у ружичастој боји> 3. Once I realized and replaced that 1/3 domino into that slot, everything fell into place. As I said, trial and mistake. Sometimes you can’t really see the shape of things until you try something and fails. You must fail before you succeed sometimes, in PIPS and in life.
