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 As always, I will take you through heavy pips today. Here’s what it looks like before you start: Today’s Pips Screenshot: Erik Cain Ten domains and whole piles of different groups, most of which are the total groups. There is only one = group and one> (greater than) of the group here. This green> 3 group almost messed me today, because half time I have a symbol back and I think it means “less than”. Oi vei. Anyway, I like to find tiles that don’t have other actual options today, the best for starting was at the top of the top left. There is a pink 0 tile next to a purple 5 group. We only have two Domans with empty sides, and one has 6 PIPs. This means that we can only use in the upper left tiles in the upper left tiles, because 6 would be too much for the purple 5 group. The left side is the left side, and is obviously the only domino that can move there is our last empty domino, 6 minutes in Blue 21. As well: Today’s Pips Screenshot: Erik Cain I decided to fill this side of the plate first. We only had one domino, so in green 3 tiles, with 5 spills in blue 21. I placed a total of 17 pipes in the blue 21. The head 4/5 Domino moved to Blue 21 and more orange 11, as so: Today’s Pips Screenshot: Erik Cain With half of our Domin’s spent, most of the hard work was outside. Again I was green> 3 group fucked up here and made me think I made a mistake, but once I realized I looked back, Domans fell into place. 6/1 ended the orange 11 Group, with 1 pip, which is left, most likely to pink from dark blue = and then 2/4 domino from pink = and then 2/4 domino with pink = and then 2/4 domino. With two domins, they remained easy to set up 2/6 and 1/3 of dominoes in orange 3 and dark blue 9, respectively. They could move to any place. The final grille looks like that: Today’s Pips Screenshot: Erik Cain Pretty challenging set puzzle puzzle today around!
