In Katamino the term PENTA refers to a group of Pentaminos which completely covers the space defined by the slider on the game board. Chunky and colourful, placing polyominoes in the perfect place will exercise your mind in ways you never thought possible.

Always looking for things to occupy my puzzle-hungry mind (and keep me quiet for long stretches of time), this would have been exactly the kind of thing I would have loved. After you’ve used those pieces to create a 3×5 grid, you’ll add a new, specific piece and move the wooden bar down to the 4 slot. This sole game really doesn’t do much to change the fact that Katamino is really presented as a series of 2D puzzles, each set within a 5x grid.

These shapes, known as Tetrominoes, became the cascading shapes of one of the best-selling video games of all time: Tetris.If you enjoy puzzles or have/know kids who do, Katamino is a good entry into the pentominoes and their puzzle-y possibilities. In 1960s they gained popularity due to a combination of a book by Simon Golomb (who came up with the name pentominoes) titled Polyominoes: Puzzles, Patterns, Problems, and Packings and a column by Martin Gardner on Mathematical Games in Scientific America. Position the slider on the board between the numbers 4 and 5 and make as many PENTAS 4 as possible by finding 4 pentaminos among the 12 that can be assembled.
