Can anyone please explain to me the rules of dominoes?

Answer 1

The dominoes are mixed up and placed face down. Each player takes 6 dominoes and places them so that the other players can't see their value. The remaining dominos are left face down.

The first person to play is that person holding the double-six, or failing that the double-five and so on. The tile played must be the double tile that permitted the player to take the first turn. If none of the players hold a double, then the tiles are reshuffled and re-drawn.


Each player must in turn then play a tile onto the table positioning it so that it touches either end of the domino chain which thus gradually increases in length. A player may only play a tile which has upon it a number showing at one end of the domino chain or the other.

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.

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.

Normally play stops when one player "chips out" (plays his last domino) 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.

How To Play Dominoes

The draw game is the most common form played, although there are hundreds of variations.
Instructions
STEP 1: Count that there are 28 dominoes, from double blank to double six. STEP 2: Place them facedown on the table and shuffle them until they're random. STEP 3: Allow your opponent to take seven dominoes, and take seven for yourself. STEP 4: Allow the player with the highest double to go first. STEP 5: Lay a domino with like value next to the first domino (it doesn't matter which end). Make sure like values are always touching. STEP 6: Pick from the pile if you don't have a domino that corresponds to the ones on the layout. Keep those dominoes concealed from your opponent(s). STEP 7: Pass if no more dominoes are left in the pile. STEP 8: Win the session if you're the first person to run out of dominoes. STEP 9: End the session if everybody passes, in which case the winner is the person with the lowest score. STEP 10: Count your score by the number of dots on the tiles remaining in your hand. STEP 11: End the game if someone reaches 50 points in a game with two players or 100 points with three or more players. The lowest score wins. Tips & Warnings
If you're playing with three or four players, each player should take five dominoes.
If more than two are playing, play rotates clockwise.
Keep the largest assortment of different numbers in your hand as long as possible.
If you lay a double, the layout then forms a T shape and play can continue from any of the exposed ends.

Dominoes Rules

Answer 4

Well, I play Domino's on my dad's laptop in the Hoyle games section. The way they play is each player chooses 7 dominos that are face down. Then the one with the double 6 starts off and plays it in the middle of the table up right with numbers showing. Then the next person goes. the play a domino that has at least one 6 on it and it plays perpendicular. The next person to play can again play a domino that has a 6 on the other side or match the 2nd domino played. If the player has a doulbe number that matches a domino that is perpendicular to the 6 then it gets played up and down for example: 6|____| 4 | | 6 4| | 6|____| 4 | Does that make any sense? Then to score: it is one point for the person who wins that round. How to win: Run out of tiles first. If you cannot play with the tiles in hand you may takes as many dominoes as needed that are face down until such time as you can play....each turn must be played!

I think the problem lies in the wording of the question , you might as well have asked how do i play with a ball !

I play for a dominoes league in the midlands and we play 2 different games with dominoes. There is nearly always some argument over the rules which seem to vary from village to village.

Then after the match is finished we often have a game amongst ourselves playing by yet another different set of rules.

A favourite of mine is called Maltese cross , you would be best to avoid that one , the local old regulars took many a pound off me learning that one !

Answer 7

Many people love the idea of owning a dog but one thing that they have to keep in mind often times, is that the dog needs to be trained. While the pet may look heart-breakingly cute when it's in a shelter or at the pound, picking out the dog is only the first part of the relationship between dog owner and the animal. Many people don't understand that they have to put time and effort into socializing the dog.

An unsocialized dog will intimidate others, tear up the home, and will create an environment that can become so bad that the it will have to be returned. Many times when dogs have to be returned to shelters or to other resources, it will end up euthanized, which is very heartbreaking. All of this can be spared if a person learns the various techniques in order to socialize the dog.

One thing that they have to understand is that the he wants to be told what to do. It's in the canine nature to follow a leader. The dog will be more than willing to obey the leadership of its master. Here's a look at some common techniques that are used in dog training:

"Dog Whispering"

This is a technique that has been around for a while, but gained national notoriety over the last 10 years. Some people might hear this term and wonder how in the world whispering to a dog can train it! Whispering isn't meant to be taken literally in this case. As trainers have shown, whispering is a term that refers to connecting with a being or an entity on a very deep and almost spiritual level. When it comes to dog training techniques, dog whispering involves careful observation of the dog's behavior and actions.

It literally entails getting inside the mind and the behavior system of the canine. When a person uses dog whispering techniques, they interact with the dog on the canine level. Again, one the most common mistakes that people make is treating the dog like a small human being.

"Reward Training"

Reward training is very simple and it's one of the older tricks that works. This is a simple method of training the dog by positive reinforcement. Once he does what it is told to do, it receives a treat. How this works is that the dog owner must entice the dog towards the treat. Once the canine develops awareness for the treat, it develops a strong desire for it. When the desire for it is extremely strong, the dog owner pulls back. Then the dog receives a command and when the dog obeys the command, it receives the treat. The object is to make the dog associate a treat with the command.

"Clicker Training"

Other dog training techniques include one that is similar to reward training, which is called clicker training. How this works is that the clicker is incorporated to get the dog's attention. The clicker is clicked as a form of communication with the dog. It learns that there is a command or reward associated in conjunction with the clicker. Many people claim that this is fun, and they actually make a game with the dog by using the clicker for their dog training tasks.

"Ultrasonic Whistle"

Last, a relatively new form of dog training technique is called the ultrasonic whistle. This works because the ultrasonic sound is only heard by the dog. When the owner is trying to communicate a command, or stop the dog from barking, they will blow on their whistle when they want to communicate a command to the dog. The benefit of this is that the humans can't hear this noise, but the dog can hear it, and they will learn to associate the sound with a command.

Dog training techniques aren't hard to incorporate, but they are something that absolutely must be incorporated from the time a dog owner brings their new dog home. No matter how old or how young the dog is, they will need training. Once they are trained properly, they will be a wonderful addition to one's family.

Answer 8

Stack them up on their ends and put them in a line. Feel free to either put them in a straight line or do a cool curvy design. Put them about 1/2 inch apart or so. Then say "ready set go" and tip over the first one in the line and have fun.

After all, this is what we all did with dominoes for years until we learned there was a real game behind it!

Answer 9

basicly in short:

you have to have the same number on your domio the one your connecting it to.

and you het points if each end of the dominos are a multiple of 3 or 5.

so for instance if you get 3 on one end and 6 on the other end:

3 + 6 = 9 - doe not go into 5 but: 9 / 3 = 3 so you get 3 points.
