THE PLAYBOOK · G8MM7JKU6
Learn your way around Dominoes
Choose a round of Dominoes and settle into its rules. Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. Use the example below to understand a decision. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. 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
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. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Your goal
Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
Follow these playing steps
- 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.
Making selections and moves
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
An example to follow
An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the controls nearby.
Check this before moving on
You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. Check the rule before repeating the action. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
