Pohaku — Tri-Colored Domino Games
Pohaku was inspired by the mathematical puzzles of Percy A. MacMahon, whose 1921 book, New Mathematical Pastimes, explored edge-matching, repeating patterns, and tilings.
Harry L. Nelson extended MacMahon’s ideas, creating new games (Pohaku Dominos) using patterned squares or "stones". In this book, Harry, personified as Mac, introduces puzzles that invite players to experiment, reason, count, and develop spatial perception. Like science, mathematics can be experimental. Most of the puzzles in the book can be solved by the method of "random exhaustion". In other words --Try everything and reject what does not work! Of course, judicious insight can vastly reduce the amount of trial-and-error needed..
