The sum of the spots of all opposing players is computed and added to the dominoing player’s score (rounded to the nearest five).

Dominoing occurs when one player goes out by playing all of his dominoes. All other doubles are played at right angles to the line and the total points on both ends are counted. All sides of the first double (the spinner) may be used one piece to each side and later one to each end. If the dots on the exposed ends total any multiple of five the player is awarded that number of points. Object of the game: Scoring points by laying the dominoes end to end (the touching ends must match: i.e., one’s touch one’s, two’s touch two’s, etc.). The remaining dominoes (the boneyard), if any, are left face down on the table to be drawn later if a player is unable to play from his hand.īegin Play: The player who drew the highest double or the highest domino plays first, playing any domino he wishes from his had. Re-shuffle and then begin drawing the first hand.ĭrawing: Each player then draws seven dominoes for his hand. The player drawing the highest double or if no double, the highest domino plays first. The Shuffle: To begin the dominoes are placed face down and “shuffled.” Players draw one domino. If four are playing the game, it may be played as a partnership (the two players sitting opposite one another are partners).

Players: Two, three or four may play the game of Dominoes. Straight Dominoes is the game usually played at old-fashioned domino halls in small towns throughout Texas and other southern states. Educational and easy to learn for children. It can be played that if the double zero is left in your hand at the end of the game, it is worth 50 points.One of the most popular of all domino games. If the chicken yard is empty and a player cannot play, that player’s turn is skipped. The player with the lowest score after all the rounds have been played wins the game. ScoringĪt the end of a round, each player scores the sum of the points on his/her unplayed dominos. Once a player is has played all his/her dominos or no player can make another move, the round is over. Once the chicken foot is complete, players can again play a matching domino on any open domino in the middle. When a double domino is played, the next three dominos have to be matched to the double to form a chicken foot. Once the double chicken foot is complete, the next player can play a matching domino on any open domino in the middle. Six matches are needed on the middle double domino to form a double chicken foot. If the drawn domino can be played, it is played. If a player cannot play a domino, one is drawn from the chicken yard.

Play moves clockwise with each player playing one domino. Play begins by matching one of your dominos with the middle double domino number. Game Playĭominos are played into the middle by matching dominos together with the same number. Players score the total value on their unplayed dominos at the end of each round. Each round ends when a player has played all his/her dominos into the middle. The objective of the game is to have the lowest score at the end of the game. The extra dominos are pushed to the side to create the chicken yard. Players draw the following amount of dominos based on how many players are playing. The beginning double domino is set to the side while players are drawing dominos. The second round starts with the double 8 and so on down to the double zero starting the last round. The first round starts with the double 9.
