How to play Dominoes
Choose a round of Dominoes and settle into its rules. Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Double-six draw dominoes, local two players with shared-screen visible hands.
Build a steady rhythm
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. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your goal
Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Step by step
- 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.
Controls
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. Check any mode label before starting.
A useful example
An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Take a moment to compare.
Watch out for this
You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
