Classic Dominoes – The Tools:
The dominoes game consists of 28 stones.
The dominoes are rectangular in shape. On each stone is drawn a dividing line in the middle that creates two equal squares.
Each square has a number of dots – from zero to six.
The points are arranged on top of the square in a way that is familiar to us from a standard game cube that every house has.
Double stone – a stone in which the number of dots in the two squares is the same.
For example: 3 | 3.
Before Starting The Game:
Turn over all the game pieces and mix them.
Each player receives seven dominoes stones (do not reveal your stones to your opponents).
How To Play Dominoes?
Each player in turn places one dominoes stone corresponding to the squares at the edges of the table.
For Example:
Suppose the highest double stone found is 5 | 5.
In this situation the next player will be able to put any stone in his possession that has a square with the number five.
Suppose the player puts the stone 6 | 5.
So now the table will look like this: 6|5 5|5.
In this situation the next player will be able to put any stone in his possession that has a square with the number five or the number six.
Suppose the player puts the stone 3 | 6.
So now the table will look like this: 3|6 6|5 5|5.
In this situation the next player will be able to put any stone in his possession that has a square with the number five or the number three.
