How to Play

Game Rules

1. Each player draws 7 tiles from the shuffled set of 28 (double-six). Remaining tiles form the boneyard.
2. The player with the highest double tile starts, placing it face-up in the center.
3. Players take turns placing a tile that matches one of the open ends of the chain.
4. After each placement, if the sum of all open-end pips is a multiple of 5, that player's team scores those points.
5. Doubles are placed crosswise and both halves count as open ends.
6. If a player cannot play, they must draw from the boneyard until they can play or it is exhausted.
7. A round ends when a player plays their last tile ("domino!") or when the game is blocked.
8. At the end of a round, unplayed tiles are counted: their pip sum is awarded to the winning player (rounded to nearest 5).
9. The game is played 2 vs 2 — partners sit opposite each other. The first team to reach 51 points wins.
10. In case of a block, the team with the lowest combined pip count wins the round.
