Dominoes

For Camille Duerr to play.

Two player game, seven dominoes

3/4 player game, five dominoes

Keep dominoes in front of you but hidden from opponents

The player with the highest double places that on the table to start the game (2/2, 3/3, 4/4, 5/5, 6/6)

The winner starts the next round (in a group, play proceeds clockwise)

Place a matching domino to any of the four exposed ends of the initial double (this is called the spinner)

Doubles are played perpendicular to others when played (T shape)

There may be right angles if you run out space on the table (make L shape)

If you can’t match one of yours to one on the table, you must pick up from the ‘boneyard’ until you get a playable domino. If they pick up all of the boneyard and still can’t play, they have to pass their go.

(You can only join short end to short end, apart from if the tile is a double like 1/1 when you can join a matching short end to a long side in a T shape)

Simplest Points - 

The first person to play all their dominoes wins the round

They score points for all the unplayed dominoes of their opponents

(Add up all the dots on those dominoes)

First to 150 points wins

Other scoring includes adding up ends, and if they make a multiple of five… more complicated than one needs for a writing scene!
