Introduction to Dominoes
Dominoes is a popular game played worldwide, involving rectangular tiles called dominoes. The game can be played by 2-4 players and is suitable for all ages. The objective of the game is to be the first player to score a set number of points or to play all of one's tiles.
History of Dominoes
Dominoes originated in China during the 12th century and were later introduced to Europe in the 18th century. The name "domino" is derived from the Latin word "dominus," meaning "lord" or "master."
The Domino Set
A standard domino set, also known as a "double-six" set, contains 28 tiles. Each tile, or "bone," is divided into two square ends, each with a number of dots (pips) ranging from 0 (blank) to 6. The tiles are referred to by the number of pips on each end, such as 0-0, 0-1, 1-1, and so on, up to 6-6.
Variations of Domino Sets
Double-Nine Set: Contains 55 tiles, with numbers ranging from 0 to 9.
Double-Twelve Set: Contains 91 tiles, with numbers ranging from 0 to 12.
Double-Fifteen Set: Contains 136 tiles, with numbers ranging from 0 to 15.
Double-Eighteen Set: Contains 190 tiles, with numbers ranging from 0 to 18.
These larger sets allow for more players and longer games.
Basic Rules of Dominoes
Setup
Shuffling the Tiles: Place all the tiles face down on the table and mix them thoroughly.
Drawing Tiles: Each player draws a specific number of tiles, depending on the number of players:
2 players: 7 tiles each
3-4 players: 5 tiles each
The remaining tiles form the "boneyard" or "stock."
Starting the Game
The player with the highest double (tile with the same number on both ends) starts the game by placing that tile in the center of the table. If no player has a double, the highest pip value tile is used to start.
Playing the Game
Placing Tiles: Players take turns placing a tile from their hand onto the table, matching one end of the tile to an open end of the domino chain. For example, if the chain has a 5 at one end, the player must place a tile with a 5 on one end next to it.
Drawing from the Boneyard: If a player cannot place a tile, they must draw tiles from the boneyard until they find a playable tile or the boneyard is empty. If the boneyard is empty and the player still cannot play, they pass their turn.
Ending a Turn: A player's turn ends when they place a tile or pass.
Winning the Game
The game ends when a player plays all their tiles or when no players can make a legal move. The winner is determined by the following:
Empty Hand: The player who plays all their tiles first wins the round.
Blocked Game: If no player can make a move, the player with the fewest pips in their hand wins the round.
Scoring
In most variations, the winner of each round scores points based on the total number of pips in the opponents' hands. The first player to reach a predetermined score (usually 100, 150, or 200 points) wins the game.
Strategies and Tips
Basic Strategies
Play Doubles Early: Playing doubles early can prevent them from clogging up your hand.
Keep a Mix of Numbers: Retain a variety of numbers to increase your chances of playing tiles in future turns.
Block Your Opponent: Place tiles that limit your opponent's options, especially if they have fewer tiles.
Track Remaining Tiles: Pay attention to the tiles that have been played to predict your opponents' possible moves.
Advanced Strategies
Force Draws: Intentionally play tiles that force your opponents to draw from the boneyard, increasing your chances of winning.
Control the Board: Try to control the game's pace by playing tiles that keep the board in your favor.
Endgame Planning: As the game nears its end, focus on playing high-value tiles to reduce your pip count and increase your chances of winning.
Variations of Dominoes
Block Dominoes
The most basic and common variation, played as described above. Players draw tiles and take turns matching pips.
Draw Dominoes
Similar to block dominoes, but players continue to draw from the boneyard until they can make a move.
Mexican Train
A popular variation played with a double-twelve set. Each player starts their own "train," and players can also play on a shared "Mexican Train." The game emphasizes strategic planning and blocking.
Chickenfoot
Played with a double-nine or double-twelve set. Players form "chickenfoot" shapes by placing three matching tiles off a double. This variation adds complexity and strategic depth.
Five-Up (Muggins)
Players score points by making the ends of the domino chain add up to a multiple of five. This scoring variation adds an extra layer of strategy to the game.
