This is the game of traditional dominoes. Most domino games are simply variations of this game.  
PLAYERS : 2-4  
EQUI PM ENT: 1 set of dominoes, paper to keep score  
OB J ECT: Be the first player to score 100 or more points  
PLAY: Shuffle the dominoes; each player draws five tiles. The player with the highest double  
begins the game, by placing their domino in the center of the playing area. Play continues  
clockwise. If no double is drawn, all the tiles are returned to the boneyard, reshuffled, and  
redrawn.

Most games can be played with any set of domines (Double 6, Double 9, Double 12 or Double 15).  
A few games may instruct you to play with only the 0-0 through the 6-6 (simply set aside your  
higher dominoes if you have a set larger than Double 6)  
In order to play a tile, the next player must play a tile that matches one of the open ends of the  
center tile. A player must play a domino if they are able to do so. If a player cannot match the  
pips on an open tile, they must draw fromthe boneyard and add it to their hand until they have  
drawn a tile to play. If the player draws all the tiles fromthe boneyard and still cannot play, they  
may say “pass” and play passes to the next player. If the boneyard is empty and no plays can  
be made, the round ends because it is blocked.

The following terms and rules apply to all domino games in this instruction booklet,  
unless otherwise noted. If the rules differ for a particular game, the instructions will  
specify.  
ENDI NG THE GAM E: The first player to get rid of all of their dominoes calls Domino!” and  
wins the game. If playing in rounds, the winning player earns the pip total of their opponents’  
remaining dominoes. If the round is blocked, then the player with the lowest pip total wins. The  
player scores their opponent’s points minus their own. The first player to reach 100 wins the  
game.  
TERM S : Each domino (also called a tile or bone) is divided into two parts, called ends.  
The dots on the tiles are called pips. If a domino end has no pips than it is considered  
blank. If both ends of the tile have the same number of pips, it is called a double.  
A domino is referred to by its number of pips; for example, a domino with three pips on  
one end and five pips on the other is called a 3-5. A domino with a blank on one end and  
six pips on the other end is called a 0-6. A domino with four dots on both ends is called  
a “double 4.” Each combination of pips occurs only once in a set—there are no  
duplicate dominoes within a set.  
A l l F iv es  
In this variation of Block and Draw Dominoes, players only score if the ends add up to a  
multiple of five after they place their domino.  
PLAYERS : 2-4  
EQUI PM ENT: 1 set of dominoes, paper to keep score  
OB J ECT: Be the first player to score 100 or more points  
S HUFFLI NG: Before every domino game, the tiles are placed face down on the  
playing surface and shuffled to forma boneyard, fromwhich players will draw. No  
player’s hands may stay on the same tiles when shuffling. Players then take turns  
drawing dominoes fromthe boneyard to formtheir hands– the dominoes they are  
responsible for playing throughout the game. The number of tiles drawn depends on the  
game being played. Players usually stand their tiles upright in front of themselves so  
that opponents cannot see the pips.  
PLAY: Shuffle the dominoes; each player draws the same number of tiles, (7 dominoes if 2  
players, 5 if 3-4 players). The player with the highest double begins the game. Play continues  
clockwise. Dominoes are played to matching ends as in standard Block and Draw, but to score,  
players must make the open ends add up to a multiple of five. For example, (in diagramA, on  
page 1), the player that has just placed the 2-4 domino, scores 5 points because their open end  
of 4 ”is added to the other open end 1” (6-1 tile) for a total sumof five. When a double is  
played, the total of the double is added. For example if a 3-3 is played, and the other open end  
of the domino line is a 4” the player would score 3+3+4=10 points.

GENERAL DOM I NO PLAY: In most  
games, the dominoes are placed  
lengthwise, end to end, (except for  
A
doubles) to forma line (see diagramA). The  
line may have right angle turns in order to  
keep within the playing area. In order to be  
played, one end of the tile must match the  
free or open end (the end of the domino  
that does not touch another domino) of a  
previously played domino. Because both  
ends are the same, doubles usually are  
played crosswise to the open end (See  
If a player does not notice their own play scores a multiple of five, an opponent may call  
muggins” after the next play. The player who calls muggins” receives the points instead.

When a player cannot make a match, the player draws fromthe boneyard until they draw a tile  
to play, as in Block and Draw. Throughout the hand, players earn the point value for every  
multiple of five they make.

ENDI NG THE GAM E: The first player to get rid of all their tiles says, Domino!” and ends  
the round. This player also receives any points left in the other player’s hands (each player’s  
pips are added and the sumis rounded to the nearest multiple of five). If the round is blocked,  
then the player with the lowest pip total wins. The player scores their opponent’s points minus  
their own, and rounds the sumto the nearest multiple of five.  
diagramA). (Note: in most games this does not make two new open ends). A spinner is  
a domino that can be played on both sides and both ends (see diagramB). In most  
games that use a spinner, it is only the first double of the hand.  
After each round, the players’ scores fromthe previous rounds are added as well. The first  
player to reach 100 or more points is the winner of the game.  
Most often, the player with the highest double (i.e. in a set of Double Six dominoes 6-6 is  
the highest, in a set of Double Nine dominoes 9-9 is the highest, and so on) in their hand  
begins the game by placing the domino, pips up, in the center of the playing area. If no  
player has a double, the highest single begins the game (i.e. in a set of Double Six  
dominoes 5-6 would be the highest single) or players may elect to reshuffle the tiles and  
draw again in hopes of starting the hand with a double. Play is always clockwise, with  
each player adding a tile to an open end(s). If a player does not have a tile that is  
playable to any of the open ends they say, pass.” In some games the player will have  
to draw a number of tiles and complete their turn before play continues. If no player can  
play a domino (and/or the boneyard is empty) then the round is ended because it is  
considered blocked.  
MATA D O R (a l s o c a l l ed A l l S ev en s )  
In this unique domino game, many traditional domino rules are broken. Players may draw from  
the boneyard, even when they have a playable tile. Players may only match ends that add to a  
sumof seven.  
PLAYERS : 2-4  
EQUI PM ENT: 1 set of dominoes (use only 0-0 through 6-6), paper to keep score  
OB J ECT: Be the first player to score 100 or more points  
S CORI NG: Scoring varies according to the game being played. See individual game  
instructions for scoring. Most domino games are played in rounds; scores are  
calculated at the end of each round. Multiple rounds may be played until the winning  
score is achieved.  
PLAY: Shuffle the dominoes; each player draws the same number of tiles, (7 dominoes if 2  
players, 5 if 3-4 players). The player with the highest double begins the game. Play continues  
clockwise. Dominoes are NOT played to identical ends, as in standard dominoes, but instead  
ends are matched ONLY if they add up to a sumseven. For example, a 4-2 may be played on a  
6-3 (the open 3 +4=7). Also, doubles are not played crosswise in this game, they are played end

This game is played like standard Block and Draw Dominoes except that play may only be made  
on one side of the center domino (there is only one open end)–it only has one "arm".  
PLAYERS : 1  
EQUI PM ENT: 1 set of dominoes (use only 0–0 through 6–6)  
OB J ECT: Try to Knock Out” all the dominoes.  
PLAYERS : 2-4  
EQUI PM ENT: 1 set of dominoes, paper to keep score  
OB J ECT: Be the first player to score 100 points  
PLAY: Turn all the dominoes face down and shuffle. Arrange the tiles end to end, forming one  
long line. Turn each tile face up, without changing its position. If there are any tiles whose ends  
match (have the same number of pips) where they touch, you may ‘knock’ themout of line. The  
dominoes that are knocked-out” are no longer in play. Push the dominoes in the line together  
to close up any gaps (do not change their order). Try to knock-out as many dominoes as you  
can.  
PLAY: Shuffle the dominoes; each player draws 3 tiles. The player with the highest double  
begins the game by placing it in the center of the playing area. Play continues clockwise. The  
next player starts the line out fromthe double, but may only play on one side of the center  
domino (so there is only one arm” of the domino line). Anytime a player makes a play on a  
double domino, including the first set domino, he may play another tile before his turn is up.  
ENDI NG THE GAM E: When you can no longer knock-out” any more dominoes count the  
number of tiles remaining (1 point for each tile). Play again and try to beat your score – the  
lower the score, the better your game!  
Scoring and ending the game are played like standard Block and Draw dominoes.

EQUI PM ENT: 1 set of dominoes (use only 0–0 through 6–6)  
OB J ECT: Remove all the dominoes fromplay.  
PLAY: Shuffle the dominoes, face down, and arrange themin one long row, side by side. Then  
flip all the dominoes face up, keeping themin order. Starting fromthe leftmost end of the row,  
begin counting the dominoes from0 to 12, touching each tile as you speak the corresponding  
number. As you touch the tile, sumthe total number of pips on the domino. If the number of pips  
is the same as the number you are counting remove the domino fromthe row. When you reach  
a count of 12” start counting from0” again. When you get to the end of the row of dominoes,  
move themtogether to close up all the gaps and continue counting fromthe leftmost end of  
the row.  
ENDI NG THE GAM E: Play in this way until you have eliminated all the dominoes.

OB J ECT: To have all tiles turned face-up in seven or less columns.  
starting the game  
PLAY: Shuffle the tiles face down and place themin 7 horizontal  
rows. The first row should be made up of seven tiles (vertical sides  
parallel). The second row should be made up of six tiles (vertical  
sides parallel), and so on, until the last row contains only one tile.  
Then turn the stepped” tile of each row face up (see diagramat  
right).  
Choose which direction (vertical flip or horizontal flip) you will turn  
the tiles over (fromface down to face up) throughout the game—the  
tiles may not be rotated to make a match. Move the tiles that are face  
up fromone column to another by matching up tiles with the same  
number of pips end to end to formlonger columns (see diagrams at  
right). Any time you have a face down tile that is freed” (it was  
touching a face-up tile that moved) it may be turned face-up. If you  
end up with less than seven vertical columns, you may move a tile or  
1st round moves  
a line of matching tiles in order to formanother column. There should  
never be more than seven vertical columns.  
ENDI NG THE GAM E: Once you have turned over all the dominoes  
(without exceeding seven columns), you win the game! Try to make  
as few columns as possible. If you become blocked you lose and  
must play again.
