Dominoes: from controls to your first round

Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Dominoes. Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. Use the example below to understand a decision. Check the rule that explains your first action. Look at what changes after your first action.

Double-six draw dominoes, local two players with shared-screen visible hands.

Take a closer look while playing

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Make the next step deliberately.

The goal to keep in mind

Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

How to proceed

  1. Play a tile matching either open chain end.
  2. Choose which end to use.
  3. Draw only when no tile fits.
  4. Pass only with no legal tile and an empty stock.

Using the playing area

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

An example before you play

An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the game’s format in mind.

Keep this in mind

You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
