Domino

Description

Choose a piece from your deck using the mouse, then click and drag it to the board. Domino can only be played using sides that correspond to an open end's number. Each round is initiated by the player who has the double six tile. The next highest number tile is used if no one possesses the double six. To win each round, you must be the first player to place all of your dominoes on the board. The game is won by the first player to score 100 points overall.

There are three different domino games available. To select your favorite, try them all as they each have unique rules. We have a beginner's guide to Dominoes for individuals who are new to the game if you want a more in-depth tutorial.

Draw dominoes until you discover a matching tile when you are immobile.

All-Fives: Following your move, count the dots on the board's exposed ends. You receive that many points if the sum is a multiple of five.

Block: If you are unable to move, pass your turn.

ADVICE & TIPS FOR DOMINOES

Early on, use high number tiles. The number of dominoes still in the losing player's hand will determine how many points the winning player receives after each round. To reduce the number of points your opponent(s) will receive if they win, it is advisable to release tiles with high numbers early in a round.

Study the space. Throughout the entire game, pay close attention to your opponent(s)' movements. Note which numbers are playable as they are drawn from the pile. They probably don't have those tiles in their hand, therefore by playing that number later in the round, you can easily trap them.

Dominoes in defense. Look for opportunities to block the board as you become aware of your opponent's moves. For instance, you can play a 4-2 tile to have both open sides of the board display 2 if one end of the board contains a 2 and the other a 4. If your opponent doesn't have that number, they will either be prevented from making the move or forced to draw from the pile.

WHAT YOU LEARN FROM PLAYING DOMINOES

Any of the three domino games can help develop fundamental math, analytical thinking, and planning skills. Players will have to plan ahead when playing All-Fives mode to get the end tiles to add up to a multiple of 5. When attempting to determine which tiles are in the opposing hands, critical thinking abilities are applied regardless of the mode.
