Mastering the Gameplay of Dominoes

Making the First Move

The player with the highest double (tile with the same value on both ends) goes first, placing the tile in the center of the playing area. If no one has a double, the player with the highest value tile goes first.

Continuing the Game

Play continues to the left. Each player must match one end of one of their tiles to an open end of a tile on the table. If a player cannot play, they must draw a tile from the 'yard'. If there are no tiles left to draw, the player must pass their turn.

Blocking and Drawing

In the 'blocking' variation, the game ends when one player has used all their tiles or when all players are blocked and cannot make a move. In the 'drawing' variation, if a player cannot make a move, they continue to draw tiles until they can play one.

Scoring a Round

At the end of the round, if one player has used all their tiles, they score the total number of pips (dots) on the tiles left in their opponents' hands. In case of a block, the player with the least pips in hand scores the difference between their count and that of each opponent.
