How to Play Dominoes

Page 1


shuffle the dominoes by randomly rearranging them face down on the table.

choose seven dominoes from the pile and arrange your pieces so other players see only the blank side.


place the double six domino in the center of the table as the starting piece. If the double six isn’t held by any of the players, use the highest available double domino as the starting point.


clockwise

you must draw

from the first player, the next player puts down a domino to connect with the starting piece.

from the pile of excess dominoes if your hand doesn’t contain any playable pieces.

In a linear fashion, each player does the same, joining dominoes so that sixes connect to sixes, fives to fives and so on.


points are awarded when the end pieces add up to a multiple of five. If the summation is anything other than a multiple of five, the game continues without any points being awarded.


the game is over when all players’ hands are empty and all of the excess dominoes have been played.

the winner is the player with the highest score at the end of the game.
