All other doubles are played at right angles to the line and the total points on both ends are counted. Dominoing occurs when one player goes out by playing all of his dominoes. The score of points is usually considered a game. The first person or partnership to score this amount wins the game. Shuffle and begin a new game. The player who won plays first.

Scoring In some domino games, part of the score is obtained from the total number of pips at the ends of the line of play as the game progresses.
If only one domino has been played, both ends of that domino are ends of the line of play. Thus, if a tile is played, the count would be If two dominoes have been played, the count depends on whether both tiles are with the line of play or one tile is with and the other tile is across the line of play.
The matching halves of each of the two dominoes would be joined, end to end, with the open ends being 3 and 1. The double tile, , would be played across the line of play, and both halves of the double would be considered ends of the line of play. Given the last example, if a tile is now played on the , assuming it is not a spinner, the is no longer an end for the purpose of counting. See the example below.
If the is not a spinner in this case, the is not an end. In some domino games, a score is made only when the count of the ends of the line of play are a multiple of 5 or a multiple of 3, for example. Another scoring method used in many domino games is to take the losing players' total number of pips by counting the pips on the tiles left in their hands at the end of a hand or the game and then adding that number to the winner's score.
Here is a rule variation that players may agree to employ: When counting the pips on the tiles left in the losers' hands at the end of a hand or the game, count only one end of a double i. End of the Game Some domino games end once a certain number of hands have been played or a player or team makes the necessary points to win. For many other domino games, the object of the game is to be the first player or team to dispose of all the dominoes in your hand.
These domino games end when a player has played all the dominoes in his hand before the other players and announces, "Domino. This is called a blocked game, and, in case the game is blocked and no one is able to make another play, the game would end. Too Many Tiles Are Drawn If a player draws more tiles for his hand than he is entitled to, it is called an overdraw. Once an overdraw has been discovered, the player to the right of the overdrawn hand takes the extra dominoes from the overdrawn hand, without looking at them, and returns them to the stock.
The deck should then be reshuffled before anyone else draws his hand. Here is a rule variation that players may agree to employ: Expose the overdrawn tiles to all players before returning them to the stock and then reshuffling the deck. Not Enough Tiles Are Drawn If a player draws fewer tiles for his hand than he is entitled to, it is called an underdraw.
Once an underdraw has been discovered, he draws the necessary tiles from the stock to complete his hand. If a player misplays for example, joins a 2 to a 3 and it is discovered before the next player makes his play, he must restore the misplayed tile to his hand and play a correct tile.
If a player misplays and no one notices until after the next play has been made, the wrong tile is considered played and cannot be replaced with the correct tile. If a score is realized on the undiscovered misplay, the player is allowed to keep it.
If it is not a misplay, once a tile is played and a player takes his hand off the tile, it may not be taken up by the player. If a player plays out of turn and it is discovered before the next player makes his play, he must recall his tile. If a player plays out of turn and it is not discovered before the next play, the misplay must stand. If a score is realized on the misplay, the player is allowed to keep it. Types of Domino Games Nearly all of the most popular domino games fit into one of four categories.
The four categories are: bidding games, blocking games, scoring games, and round games. Bidding Games Bidding games are card-like games, played by two to four players. In these games, players bid their hands, the highest bidder names the suit, and the score is determined by the bid.
Blocking Games Blocking games are played by matching dominoes in a line. Scoring is done only at the end of each hand. The player or team who plays all the dominoes in his hand first, or "dominoes," scores the total count of the tiles still held by his opponent s. In the event of a blocked game, the player or team who has the lowest count scores the total count of the tiles still held by his opponent s.
Scoring Games A scoring game, like a blocking game, is also played by matching dominoes. One difference is that scoring is done throughout the game after each scoring play is made, as well as at the end of each hand. The game is played until a player or team makes the necessary points to win.
A game consists of a series of hands. If a player plays a domino with the result that both ends of the chain show the same number normally a number which is useful to the player and distasteful to the opponents , that player is said to have "stitched up" the ends. The way that the tiles are placed provides a small part of the entertainment.
Each tile being placed must be positioned so that the two matching ends are adjacent. Unless, the tile is a double, the tile can be placed square in any one of the three directions as long as the two matching sides are touching fully.
Doubles are always placed cross-ways across the end of the chain. A tile played to a double must also be placed accordingly - perpendicular to the double touching at its middle. The shape of the domino chain develops snake-line at random according to the whims of the players and the limitations of the playing surface.
If a player can lay a domino, then it must be played. Otherwise the player "knocks", or raps the table and play passes to the next player. The opposing players will, of course, make mental note of the numbers currently available on the table and try to ensure that they are available in future too The End Normally play stops when one player "chips out" plays his last domino although some versions require both partners to chip out.
If it reaches a point at which no player can proceed, the winners are the partners whose combined sum of all spots on their remaining dominoes is the least. For scoring, some pubs would play a point per game. A more interesting method, that might be scored using a cribbage board, has the winners score the sum of all spots on the losers remaining tiles. In a game which doesn't result in anyone chipping out, the winners would receive the difference between the winners total spots and the losers total spots.
A game can be played to points, say, or on a cribbage board, points. Variations Games can also be played in the same way with two players start with 8 tiles , three players start with 6 tiles , five players start with 5 tiles or with four players without partnership. The same game can be played with a double-twelve set 91 tiles or a double-nine set 55 tiles domino sets. With a double-twelve set, four players would pick 12 tiles each and with a double-nine set, nine tiles would be taken at the start.
The Draw Game Really no more than a variant of the Block game, the Draw Game is more popular in many parts of the world. Players take less dominoes initially but a player who cannot place a domino must pick a sleeping domino to add to their set. When the sleeping dominoes run out, players simply pass their turn when they cannot go. For this variation, two players would start with 7 dominoes, three players with 5 tiles, four players with 4 tiles and five players with 3 tiles.
The difference between the two games is that in the Draw Game, players know that all the tiles will end up in play - this enables them to better deduce what tiles other players might be holding. With the Block game, since a few tiles remain sleeping and unknown throughout the game, a larger element of uncertainty reigns. Cross Dominoes An extension to the Draw game, this variation gives players more options and also takes up less table space! The game is played in exactly the same way as the Draw game but with a different start.
After the first doublet is played, the next four tiles played must be played against that doublet so as to form a cross. So for this first doublet only, dominoes are played adjacent to all four sides of the tile.
Players may have to take sleeping tiles before this is accomplished but as soon as the cross is complete, play continues as in the draw game. Thus from that point on, each turn has four dominoes available to be played against instead of two. Two or three players start with seven tiles each, four or more players start with five tiles each. Play starts as per Cross dominoes with the second to fifth tiles played forming a cross around the initial doublet.
