Dominoes

Browser Controls

• Play a Tile: Click or tap a tile to add it to either open end of the line — one side of your tile must match the number showing on that end. The two big end badges always show you exactly what plays.
• Pass: No tile that matches either end? You must pass — there's no boneyard to draw from in block dominoes. If all four players pass in a row, the hand is blocked and goes to scoring.
• How to Play: New to the table or just rusty? The built-in How to Play guide covers the deal, the matching, and the scoring right from the menu — no tab-switching to look up a rule.
• Settings: Toggle music, tile and score sounds, and visual effects (particles and confetti) any time from Settings.

Special Rules

• The Double-Six Set: Twenty-eight tiles, every combination from blank-blank to six-six — and all of them dealt, seven per player. With no boneyard, every tile is in somebody's hand, which is exactly what makes counting them worthwhile.
• Opening the Hand: In the first hand, whoever holds the highest double plays it to open. After that, the winner of the previous hand leads with any tile they like — a small edge that good teams press hard.
• Domino! & Blocked Hands: First player out of tiles calls Domino! and their team scores every dot left in the opponents' hands. If all four players pass in a row, the hand is blocked — and the team holding fewer dots scores the other team's dots.
• First to 100: Hands are quick and the dots add up fast. The race is to 100 points — light hands, sharp passes, and a partner who reads the table get you there first.

Tiles Worth Knowing

• The Doubles: Same number on both halves — they open the game, but they're the hardest tiles to place, since only one number in the line can take them. Shed them when the chance appears; a stranded double is dead weight.
• The Heavy Tiles: Six-five, six-six, five-five — beautiful to look at, brutal to be caught holding. Every dot in your hand at the end is a gift to the other team, so the heavies go early.
• The Blanks: Blank ends only match other blanks — the quietest suit in the set and the easiest one to get locked out of. If you're holding blanks, keep a blank end alive on the table.
• Counting the Fallen: Each number appears on exactly seven tiles in the set. Watch what's been played and what your opponents pass on — when six tiles of a number are down, you know precisely who's stuck.
