Tessera

Two rival artisans compete to lay mosaic tiles on a shared 7x7 stone slab. Place polyomino-shaped pieces spreading diagonally from opposite corners. When tiles enclose empty space, it is permanently sealed as void. The artisan who covers the most cells wins. How to Play

Join a Match

  • Goal: Cover more cells than your opponent on a 7×7 board.
  • Setup: Each player has 7 polyomino pieces (2 trominoes + 5 tetrominoes, 26 cells total). P1 starts from corner (0,0), P2 from corner (6,6).
  • Turn flow: Select a piece → Choose its rotation/flip → Place it on the board.
  • First piece must cover your home corner.
  • Diagonal rule: After your first piece, new pieces must touch your existing tiles at a corner (diagonally) but never share an edge with your own tiles.
  • No restriction against touching opponent tiles.
  • Sealing: When tiles enclose empty cells so they can't reach the board edge, those cells become permanently sealed void — no one can use them.
  • Passing: If none of your remaining pieces fit, you must pass.
  • Game ends when both players pass consecutively, or all pieces are played.
  • Winner: The player covering more cells wins. Equal scores = draw.
  • Tips: Place large pieces early, spread diagonally, and try to seal space near your opponent!
