Dominoes: from controls to your first round
Dominoes gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Check the rule that explains your first action. Look at what changes after your first action.
Double-six draw dominoes, local two players with shared-screen visible hands.
Try a more deliberate round
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Refer to the controls when needed.
The challenge in front of you
Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. The example below illustrates a decision.
From the start of a round
- 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.
Choosing and moving on screen
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Use one clear input at a time.
Try this example
An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Choose a deliberate next step.
A common point of confusion
You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
