Dominoes: instructions and practice
Try Dominoes at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. Look at what changes after your first action. Begin with the local players mode shown on the page. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Double-six draw dominoes, local two players with shared-screen visible hands.
A focus for your next round
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Your objective
Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
A walkthrough of the rules
- 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.
Making selections and moves
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A closer look at one example
An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Look for the relevant detail.
Where a round can go wrong
You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
