Continuo is an abstract strategy game by Maureen Hiron first published in 1982. It is played by arranging patterns printed on a deck of 42 cards, each card being printed with a grid of 16 colored squares. The goal is to place cards so that the tiles match as many chains of color as possible. Continuo won a 1995 Mensa Select games award. The tag line on the box is "The one rule game for all the family".
Versions of the game have also been published in which the same basic rule is used, but the tiles are triangular or rhombic rather than square and the hexagonal domino type game hexago was also marketed under the continuo name. Continuo was endorsed by Omar Sharif.
There has been a Continuo tournament at the Mind Sports Olympiad since 1997, to determine the world champion.
Continuo may refer to:
- Basso continuo, a harmonic structure in Baroque music. Also, the group of instruments that plays the basso continuo part.
- Continuo (album), a 2006 album by Avishai Cohen
- Continuo (game), an abstract strategy game
