Objective

Play double-six draw dominoes against the computer or a friend — match the open ends, draw from the boneyard when stuck, and empty your hand first.

How to play

  1. Tap a highlighted tile to play it on a matching end of the chain.
  2. If both ends match you choose Left or Right.
  3. No match? Press Draw tile until you can play; if the boneyard is empty, pass.
  4. Empty your hand first to win; in a blocked game the lowest pip total wins.
  5. Want a human opponent? Press Play a friend and send them the invite link — a chat opens so you can talk during the match.

About Dominoes

Each player is dealt seven tiles from a double-six set. Play a tile matching either end of the chain; if you cannot, draw from the boneyard until you can. First to empty their hand wins, or the lowest pip count if the game blocks.

Tips and strategy

  • Play doubles and high tiles early; they are hard to get rid of later.
  • Keep a mix of numbers so you can follow whatever ends appear.
  • If your opponent drew when an end was open, they have none of that number — leave that end open.
  • Count the pips in your hand when a block looms.

What it exercises

Dominoes builds probability sense, planning and reading an opponent's hidden tiles.

Frequently asked questions

Can I play a friend?
Yes. Press Play a friend, send the invite link and a chat opens. Friend games do not post to the leaderboard.
Can my friend see my tiles?
No. In friend matches the tiles are shuffled and dealt on the server, and each player is only sent their own tiles plus what is on the table (the chain or discards, and tile counts). The other hand and the remaining tiles are never sent to your browser.
Is there a leaderboard?
Yes, wins against the computer score by difficulty and the pips left in the computer's hand.
