Find your footing in Dominoes

Take a moment with Dominoes before moving to another game. Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Read the objective before making your first input. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

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

Give this approach a try

Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Keep the objective visible.

Aim for this result

Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

A walkthrough of the rules

  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.

Making selections and moves

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Check any mode label before starting.

Try this example

An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Consider the next action carefully.

A mistake to avoid

You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. Compare the situation with the worked example. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
