About the game
A browser adaptation by Zarocer.
Play draw dominoes against the computer. Match tiles to either open end, draw when you are stuck, and score across rounds toward 100 points.
Controls
Click a tile in your hand. Choose a matching left or right end. Draw a tile when no move is available. Tab and Enter/Space activate buttons; Escape closes dialogs.
Keep useful numbers on the open ends
This draw variant uses the double-six set: twenty-eight tiles, with seven dealt to each player. The opening is chosen from the highest double in either hand, or the highest tile if neither player has a double. After that, match a number to one of the chain’s two exposed ends.
For example, with an exposed 6, placing 6–3 leaves 3 available on that side. Check whether another tile in your hand can use the number you expose. A high-pip tile can reduce your remaining penalty, but a connection that keeps your next turn playable also matters. Doubles do not create extra branches in this chain.
Drawing, blocked rounds and match points
Draw is available only when you have no legal placement. If a drawn tile still cannot play and the boneyard contains more tiles, keep drawing; you cannot pass while tiles remain there. Once the stock is empty, two consecutive passes block the round.
Emptying your hand earns the opponent’s remaining pips. In a blocked round, the smaller pip total wins the difference between the two hands; equal totals score nothing. Classic targets one hundred points, while this build’s Daily match targets fifty. These rules differ from games that score multiples of five at every placement.
How to play
Place a tile whose number matches an open end of the chain. Draw from the boneyard when you cannot play. Empty your hand or have fewer pips when a round blocks.
