DOMINOES Made Simple: Rules and Strategies

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Dominoes, want a refresher, first time playing, or just love videos about Dominoes? Look no further! In this video, we've got you covered with all the basic rules, tips, and strategies you need to get started. Whether you're a complete beginner or just need a reminder, our step-by-step guide will have you playing like a pro in no time. So grab a set of dominoes and let's get started!
Correction: At 03:58, there is an error with the 4/5 sequence; it was reversed and mistakenly played off of. If such an error occurred during actual gameplay, that move would be invalid. However, for the purposes of this tutorial, please disregard it as it does not affect the main demonstration. If this mistake bothers you, I sincerely apologize for any confusion.

    Thanks for the explanation... I've binged your videos and now have at least one app for every game you've covered. As a trucker, they're great for down time when I have nothing to do but sit and wait, so I have plenty of time to -play with myself- play games by myself. Do you see yourself branching into Eastern games in the future? Pai Gow is a game that uses a totally different set of dominoes (some casinos have it), Mahjong is similar to gin rummy and uses a set of tiles (cards exist), several dice games come to mind (Jhandi Munda/SEE BO/fish, prawn, crab), and a variety of games exist for Hanafuda and Kabufuda decks. If it isn't in your plans, then I hope it stays in your back pocket in case you ever think you've run short on ideas.

    Great explanation of the rules. Thank you for that. I do have a question though regarding scoring. If there are still dominoes left in the boneyard, but neither player has a playable piece and must pass, how does the scoring work? Is that the same as the stalemate when all of the boneyard is used up?

  • @Play-In-Games

    @Play-In-Games

    11 ай бұрын

    Yea, great question. As long as there are dominoes in the boneyard players can take dominoes one at a time until they have a playable domino, and they can’t pass until the boneyard is empty. Once the boneyard is empty and all players pass, a stalemate occurs and no scoring is possible. I hope that makes senses. Thanks!

If the person who starts does not play a double, but rather, their highest pip-value domino, what happens when someone subsequently plays the first double of the game? Can it be played on all four sides (because it was the first double played in the game) or can it only be played on the two ends (because it was not the first domino played)? Thank you!

    I'd prefer that, if a player doesn't get a playable domino from the Boneyard, they pass the turn. That way they won't necessarily stack up multiple unplayable dominoes. Then again, drawing multiple times in a row is a funny "oh man!" moment when playing with friends.

    Hi! Thank you for the video. I have been getting into dominos with my buddy lately and we also play dominos the same, except players can also score by having a trail ending summation of dots being a multiple of 5. I hope that makes sense, but say the first player of the game lays down a 5-5, they also get 10 points. We also round points up or down to the nearest 5. Do you have a video on that domino version? If so, I would like to learn more about different strategies.

    Perhaps if the laid out dominoes were different but in the case of what was laid out in this example, holding the 3-5 would give less options than more. For example if you instead played the 4-4 and your opponent played off of the 3 side of the 3-6 and left a number that was neither 3 nor 5 you would be forced to take dominos from the boneyard next turn.
