11 chess-pieces have figures 2 and 3;
11 chess-pieces have figures 1 and 3;
11 chess-pieces have figures 1 and 2;
3 chess-pieces are doubles, namely all figures of these hexaminoes are identical.
Figures are drawn at six sides of hexagonal chess-pieces in the form of line points.
Figure 1 corresponds with yellow color, figure 2 corresponds with blue color, figure 3 corresponds with red color.
As it is possible to see, the complete set of hexaminoes in this version of game is formed by double combinations of figures, namely each chess-piece has one figure (color) or two figures (two colors), and threefold combinations of figures (combinations of three colors) are absent. As a result in the complete set of hexaminoes there are 36 chess-pieces which approach for games and puzzles on the game board which has 36 hexagonal cells.

Besides it is possible to use the game board and positions which are shown in following figure for realization of puzzles and conundrums.

figure for realization of puzzles and conundrums The shown board has 61 hexagonal cells.
Light grey cells form the peripheral zone which includes 24 cells, and the internal zone consists of 37 cells that is comparable to quantity of hexagonal dominoes in the complete set if to not consider the central cell.
Images of the shown game board are in PDF files.
In total it is possible to think up rules of very different puzzles and conundrums which can be carried out by means of 36 chess-pieces of hexagonal dominoes and by means of game boards which have different numbers of hexagonal cells.
