In this site you will understand how to play dominos exactly the way I was educated to play it by my parents. The way Puerto Ricans play the game. I will produce other post on how to play dominoe with varying rules and ways to play dominoes.
You are going to need a dominos set. The common set is the double 6 dominoes set with 28 dominos. To play the game you'll need a minimum of two gamers and a maximum of four game players. Now we shall focus on a 4 player game. When there are 4 players, you play as partners. The gamer to the front of you is your partner. The game players on your left and right of you are your competitor.
All dominoe are shuffled face down. Each individual player draws 7 (seven) dominoes. Each gamer holds their own dominos secret to their self. You should keep your dominoes secret. Never let other people see your dominoe, as well as your companion.
In the first game of a match, the player who holds the double 6 starts the game. This is only done on the first hand. The winning player of the first hand and each winner afterwards can start the hand with any domino they want. It can be a double or any other dominoes.
After the first dominoe is displayed, the following gamer towards the opener's RIGHT plays. Our next player can either draw or pass as long as they really don't have a matching dominos. The Dominoe goes on counter-clockwise.
The domino layout always has 2 open ends. When playing a dominoes, you must place it on one of the long end of the dominoes. The dominoe is never play in the middle of the dominos, only the long end. All domino played have to be played to a free end and must match numbers. i.e. a 3 must be played to a 3, a 5 to a 5, and so on.
If a player does not have a matching number to play, they must take a pass to the next player. The game ends when the last domino is played, or when the game is locked (the game can no longer continue).
Whenever the game ends, you gather all unplayed dominos. All remaining points are awarded to the winning team. If ever the game is locked, Both teams add their points. the team with the lowest of points wins the hand and adds the points from all players for final score. You're free to play a 150, 250, or 500 point game. First team to accumilate the agreed points wins.
