What is Dominoes Double 6?
Dominoes Double 6 is one of the most popular versions of the Dominoes game. In this version, players use a set of 28 tiles, each marked with two numbers, ranging from 0 (blank) to 6. The objective is to match the numbers on the tiles and create a continuous chain of tiles on the playing surface. Each tile has two values, one on each side, which is what makes this game both fun and strategic.
How to Play Dominoes Double 6
Setup
1. Shuffle the Tiles: Start by placing all the tiles face down on the table and shuffle them well. Each player should draw a specific number of tiles:
-
- 2 players: 7 tiles each
- 3 or 4 players: 5 tiles each
- The remaining tiles form the “boneyard,” from which players can draw during the game.
2. Start the Game: The player with the highest double (a tile with the same number on both sides, like [6|6]) places that tile in the center. If no one has a double, players draw from the boneyard until a double is found.
Playing the Game
Matching Tiles: On your turn, you must match one of your tiles to one of the open ends of the domino chain. For example, if the open ends are [4|6], you can place a tile with a 4 or a 6 on it.
Drawing from the Boneyard: If you cannot play a tile on your turn, you must draw from the boneyard. If there are no tiles left to draw or no tiles that match, you must pass your turn.
Winning the Game: The first player to run out of tiles wins the round. If no one can make a move and the boneyard is empty, the game ends in a draw. The winner is determined by the player who has the least total points remaining in their tiles. Each tile is worth the sum of its numbers. For example, a tile [4|6] is worth 10 points.
Rules for Dominoes Double 6
While the gameplay is simple, there are a few important rules that make the game both engaging and competitive:
1. Tile Placement: Tiles must always be placed at the open ends of the chain. You cannot place a tile anywhere in the middle of the chain.
2. Doubles: If you play a double (e.g., [6|6]), it is placed crossways across the chain. This opens up more possibilities for the next player to match tiles.
3. Blocked Game: If all players are unable to play, the game is considered blocked. The player with the fewest points remaining in their tiles wins.
4. Passing: If you cannot play a tile and the boneyard is empty, you must pass your turn to the next player.
