Number
of players: 2 - 4
Type of Dominoes Used: Any Domino
Type of Game: Blocking
Game
What's unique: A player has the option of passing up his turn and not
making a play even when he holds a playable tile in his hand and/or
there are still available tiles in the boneyard.
Number of dominoes drawn: For 2 to 4
players, each player draws 7 tiles. If 5 or more are playing, prior to
the start of the game players should determine and agree upon the number
of tiles each player should draw from the deck. (If 2 players, each
draws 7 or 8 tiles; 3 or 4 players, draw 5 or 6 tiles.)
After each player draws his hand from the deck, the remaining tiles are
pushed to one side to make up the boneyard.
If a player cannot match a tile with one in the layout, he can draw from
the boneyard until he picks a tile that can be played or he can pass up
his turn and not making a play even when he holds a playable tile in his
hand and/or there are still available tiles in the boneyard. He must
keep the tiles he drew but couldn't use on that play. If there are no
tiles left in the boneyard, the player passes his turn to the player on
his left.
Set domino: Any domino may be used.
After a tile has been set, play continues to the left.
How to play: Each player tries to match the pips on one end of a tile
from his hand with the pips on an open end of any tile in the layout. If
a player is unable to match a tile from his hand with a tile in the
layout, the player passes his turn to the player on his left. Each
player may play only one tile per turn.
The first player to get rid of all dominoes announces
"Domino!" and wins the came. if none of the players can make a
play, the game ends in a block. If a game ends in a block, all the
players turn the tiles in their hands faceup, count the pips on each
tile, and add them together. The player with the lowest total wins the
game and earns the points (1 point per pip) of all the tiles left
remaining in his opponents' hands. The player who first reaches 100
points or more is the overall winner.
Set Variations: 1) highest double, and in the event no double is drawn,
re-shuffle and re-draw; 2) 6-6, and in the event the 6-6 is not drawn,
re-shuffle and re-draw; or 3) highest double, and in the event no double
is drawn, play the highest single.
Other rules: The game can be played with no spinners (which seems the
most often used rule) or by using the first double as the only spinner
of the game.
In most places, Pass is played to 100 points. However, there are many
different variations, including to 50, 150, 200, or 101 points
