The result is a game that uses polyiamonds (the polyomino-like family of two-dimensional shapes, built using unit-sided equilateral triangles) to make a set consisting of all the mathematically distinct polyiamonds, from the unique moniamond to all of the hexiamonds.
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Find all the mathematically distinct polyiamonds up to six triangles at a time: moniamonds, diamonds, triamonds, tetriamonds, pentiamonds, and hexiamonds.
