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. Look at what changes after your first action. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Double-six draw dominoes, local two players with shared-screen visible hands.
Keep the aim in sight
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. 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. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A useful example
An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Take a moment to compare.
Watch out for this
You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. Check the rule before repeating the action. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
