To play this game you will need:
•
A standard set of 28 dominos
•
A large flat surface or table to play on
•
Two to four players
•
A pencil and paper (not supplied)
Step 1:
Mix up the dominos. Place all the dominos face down on the table and shuffle them around. Have
each player select their dominos, keeping them hidden. If two people are playing, each person gets seven. If
three or four people are playing, each takes five dominos. Tip: There are 28 tiles in a standard set, from
blank at both ends to sixes at both ends. Dominos are also known as bones.
Step 2:
Decide who goes first. To decide which player starts, each player reveals their highest double - a
piece that has the same number of dots on both ends. Whoever has the highest double goes first. If none of
the players drew a double, then whoever has the heaviest tile - the domino with most dots on it - goes first.
Step 3:
Make the first move. The player begins by placing their heaviest domino faceup anywhere on the
board. After the first move, players must match the number of dots on one end of one of their dominos with
an open end of a domino already on the board. Take turns clockwise around the table, with each player
adding a domino to the board. Tip: Any side of the domino is considered an "open end." The game's layout
can flow in any direction, turning as necessary.
Step 4:
Match. When laying a domino down, the numbers of the piece on the board and the one being
added to the board must match exactly. For example, if the only open domino end on the board shows five
dots, only a domino with one end that also has five dots can be played beside it.
Step 5:
Play a double. If you have a double, play it as soon as you can. Doubles create more opportunities for
play on the board. These pieces are typically placed so they connect to the middle of a piece on the board,
rather than one end, which means future dominos can be added to either end of the double piece.
