Dominoes

Classic double-six dominoes with 28 tiles. Match the number of pips on your tile to one of the two open ends of the line of play.

• Each player gets 7 tiles (5 each with 3–4 players in the Draw game). The player holding the highest double starts the first round by playing it; after that the winner of the previous round leads.
• Draw game: if you cannot play, draw from the boneyard until you can. If the boneyard is empty you pass.
• Block game: no boneyard — if you cannot play you simply pass.
• The round ends when someone plays their last tile (domino!) or nobody can move (blocked). The winner scores the pips left in all opponents' hands; in a blocked game the player with the lowest pip total wins.
• The first player to reach the target score (100 by default) wins the match.

Controls

Tap a highlighted tile in your hand to play it. If it fits both ends, tap the glowing marker on the end you want. Use Draw or Pass when you have no move. New game lets you choose 2–4 players (any mix of humans and computers), Draw or Block, the target score and computer strength.

Tips

Get rid of heavy tiles and doubles early, keep a variety of numbers in your hand, and watch which numbers your opponents could not play — then leave those numbers on the ends.
