Dominoes: rules and examples
Make Dominoes your next activity in the game library. Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Double-six draw dominoes, local two players with shared-screen visible hands.
An idea for your next attempt
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Make the next step deliberately.
Aim for this result
Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Start with a deliberate move.
The playing sequence
- 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.
How to use the controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Use the control method described here for this activity. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
A closer look at one example
An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Notice the change in the playing area.
Keep this in mind
You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. Check the rule before repeating the action. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
