Dominoes: what to know before playing
Read the aim of Dominoes, then make your first move. Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Check the rule that explains your first action. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Double-six draw dominoes, local two players with shared-screen visible hands.
Practice beyond the first move
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Make the next step deliberately.
What you are aiming for
Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Keep the controls in easy reach.
The steps to play
- Play a tile matching either open chain end.
- Choose which end to use.
- Draw only when no tile fits.
- Pass only with no legal tile and an empty stock.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
An example before you play
An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Look for the relevant detail.
Where a round can go wrong
You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
