Texas 42 Dominoes - Offline

Texas 42 dominoes, the way it's played at kitchen tables from Amarillo to Beaumont: four players, two partnerships, one bid each, and a partner across the table you can count on. Plays offline, any time you've got a few minutes.

Shake 'em up, look over your seven dominoes and make your bid. Win it, name trumps, and go after the count. Your computer partner pulls trumps when it's strong, drops count on your sure tricks, never trumps a trick you've already got, and keeps track of what's been played.

How it plays
• Four players with a double-six set: you and your partner against West and East
• One bid each: 30 to 41, 42 for a mark, or 2 marks and up
• Trumps: blanks through sixes, doubles, or follow me (no trumps)
• Nello on a mark bid: your partner sits out and you must lose every trick
• The count: 5-5 and 6-4 for ten, 5-0, 4-1 and 3-2 for five
• Marks kept the old way, with tally marks that spell ALL. First side to 7 marks wins

Your table, your house rules
• Computer players at Easy, Normal or Smart. Smart remembers every domino and thinks ahead
• Everyone passes: reshake, or the shaker has to bid 30
• Nello on or off, with doubles high in their suit or a suit of their own
• Allow a 2-mark opening bid, or don’t
• End a hand once it's decided, or play out every trick
• Slow, normal or fast game speed, and sound on or off

Easy on the eyes
Big ivory dominoes with bold black pips on green felt, large buttons and clear, high-contrast text. Dominoes you can't play are dimmed, and the game tells you which suit to follow, so it's just as easy for someone learning 42 dominoes as for an old hand.
