DOUBLE-SIX DOMINOES
Many games may be played with a set of dominoes. This
is one variation.
For 2, 3 or 4 players. If 4 are playing the game, it may be
played as a partnership (the two players sitting opposite
one another are partners).
THE SHUFFLE
Before play begins, the dominoes are placed face down
and "shuffled". Each player draws five dominoes for their
hand and stands them on edge so that the opponent
cannot see the domino faces. 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 their hand.
PLAYING THE GAME
Each domino is divided into two parts, or ends, each
containing a set of spots. A double domino contains
matching ends (6 – 6, 5 – 5, etc.). The player who draws
the highest double domino places it in the center of the
table to begin the game. If no double was drawn, all
dominoes are returned to the pile, reshuffled and redrawn.
Play moves to the left.
The second player then tries to match one of his dominoes
to one end or side of the double. For example, the first
domino played is a double five. The second player may

Game Rules
add any one of their dominoes containing five sports on
one end. The next player may play to the double five, or
he may try to match the end of the second domino played.
Blanks match other blanks. Only one domino may be
played at each turn. Dominoes are placed length-wise
rather that at right angles, except in the case of a doubles,
as shown, at any open end of a row.
Each player must draw from the boneyard (extra domi-
noes) until he is able to play a domino. Should he draw the
last domino and still not be able to play, he passes and
then tries again on his next turn. A player must play a
domino if he is able to do so. Doubles are always placed
crosswise to the end they match, thereby giving two new
directions in which to place dominoes.
END OF THE GAME
Play continues until one player has used all of their
dominoes or until no one can play. If no further plays can
be made and all dominoes have been drawn, the player
with no dominoes or with the least number of points
(spots) on their remaining dominoes wins the round. He
subtracts the total of his points from the total of each of the
opponent's points and scores the balance of points.
Rounds continue until one player scores 100 points. The
game is won by the first person to score 100 or more
points.
