Dominoing occurs when one player goes out by playing all of his dominoes. All other doubles are played at right angles to the line and the total points on both ends are counted. All sides of the first double (the spinner) may be used one piece to each side and later one to each end. If the dots on the exposed ends total any multiple of five the player is awarded that number of points. Object of the game: Scoring points by laying the dominoes end to end (the touching ends must match: i.e., one’s touch one’s, two’s touch two’s, etc.). The remaining dominoes (the boneyard), if any, are left face down on the table to be drawn later if a player is unable to play from his hand.īegin Play: The player who drew the highest double or the highest domino plays first, playing any domino he wishes from his had. Re-shuffle and then begin drawing the first hand.ĭrawing: Each player then draws seven dominoes for his hand. The player drawing the highest double or if no double, the highest domino plays first.

The Shuffle: To begin the dominoes are placed face down and “shuffled.” Players draw one domino. If four are playing the game, it may be played as a partnership (the two players sitting opposite one another are partners). Players: Two, three or four may play the game of Dominoes. Straight Dominoes is the game usually played at old-fashioned domino halls in small towns throughout Texas and other southern states. Educational and easy to learn for children.
