About Dominoes

Dominoes is two-hand block dominoes against the Tinker, played with the classic double-six set. Match the open ends, knock when nothing plays, and race to a hundred. Play solo or live at the open tables, free in your browser, no ads, no sign-up.

How to play

You each draw seven bones and fourteen sleep in the boneyard, never drawn all night. The heaviest double opens the first hand. On your turn, play a bone whose pips match an open end of the line, or knock when nothing fits. A hand ends when someone goes out or the board blocks, and the lighter hand scores the pips left in the other.

Tips

Track the pips still out and try to hold a bone of each open number so you are never forced to knock. When the board blocks, the lighter hand wins, so shed your heavy bones early.
