Instructions On How to Play Dominoes

Bone 1
Check if the arsenal for playing is in place. There should be 28 dominoes, starting from double blank to double six. Then place them on the table, faces down and until they are randomly placed, shuffle them. These dominoes can have no dots, or have dots numbering between 1 and 6. These dots are called pips.

Bone 2
Take 7 dominoes out of those 28 and your opponent takes the same number. Then the player who has the highest double will play first.

Now next to the first domino, lay a domino with the like value. The end does not matter, just make sure that the two dominoes are touching. In case you do not have a domino corresponding to the value of the one laid, pick one from the pile. This unused pile of dominoes is termed as bone yard. Make sure that your opponent does not see them.

Bone 4
As the game progresses if no more dominoes are left to draw from the pile, pass. If you become the first person to run out of dominoes, you will win the session. In other cases, if everyone passes, end the session. Here, the individual with the lowest score will win.

Bone 5
Count the score by the number of dots which are there on the tiles left with you. You can also end the game with a player reaching 50 points if there are 2 players. If the game is played between three or more players, end the game once a player gets to hundred. Here again, the person with the lowest score wins.
