      • 4 players
    • Choose a domino style. There are 5 styles to choose from.
  • Basic rules
    • Each player begins with 7 dominoes.
      • The player with the double domino of the highest value (e.g. 6/6 or 5/5) goes first.
      • The player going first will discard their highest-value double domino.
      • The next player in line will connect any of the dominoes they have to the first player’s domino.
    • To connect and discard dominoes you must choose one whose numbers match the domino whose ends are open.
      • Free ends are dominos that have one side that’s not connected to another domino. There are two of these in every game.
      • For instance, if the free ends of a domino set have a value of five and a three, you can only discard dominoes with a five or a three on them.
      • The game will helpfully highlight which dominoes you can discard and which end you can place them.
    • The moment you can’t discard any domino, the game’s rules vary:
      • In Block Mode, you lose a turn the moment you run out of moves. Your opponents get another move.
        • You don’t get a move until you can find a domino you can discard.
        • If your opponents don’t have a move, either, the round ends.
        • The player whose remaining dominoes have the smallest total dot value wins the round.
      • In Draw Mode, you don’t lose a turn.
        • Instead, you must draw a new domino from the graveyard until you have a piece you can play. The same applies for your opponent.
        • Once you run out of dominoes, you lose a turn.
    • Keep discarding dominoes until no valid moves remain.
    • There are two ways to win the round:
      • Be the first player to discard all the dominoes.
      • When no more moves are allowed, have the dominoes with the lowest value among the players.
  • Rounds and scoring
    • Each session is divided into rounds.
      • After every round, the winner receives the number of points derived from the value of the remaining dominoes in the other players’ deck.
      • If, for instance, your opponent has dominoes with a value of 10 when taken together, you earn 10 points.
    • The game ends when you reach the target score
      • The target score is determined at the start of the game.
      • Because you can earn so few points per round, there is no upper limit to how many rounds it’ll take to win.
        • In general, games with 2 players take longer than games with 4 players.
        • Block games are also faster paced than Draw games.
        • If you want a long match, set the target score to the highest available number, 200.
    • When you win, you can send the game to your friends on Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp.
• Tips
  • Play the doubles early.
    • You have fewer opportunities to play them, as the other domino options can match on either side.
    • Getting rid of them early on usually saves you the headache of trying to play them later.
  • Play your heaviest dominoes.
    • The game automatically recommends this if you go first.
    • Ditching the biggest dominoes early in the game will help tilt the odds in your favor in two ways:
      • Big tiles are harder to discard. Ditching them sooner saves you a lot of trouble later in the round.
      • At the end of the game, having smaller-valued dominoes tilts the score in your favor.
      • Even if you lose the round, the smaller value your opponent receives will buy you time you need to catch up.
  • Play the slow game.
    • By slowing down, you can work on analyzing your opponents’ weaknesses and where your strengths and weaknesses lie.
    • This is especially noticeable in draw games.
    • You can then figure out likely counters.
  • Play your strong suit.
    • Your strong suit is the number you have the most. By that logic, your opponent is likely to have fewer of them.
    • By drawing more of them you increase the odds of blocking your opponent or forcing them to
• Target Audience
  • The game is suited for players who like simple dominoes games.
  • The game has no adult themed content.
