Domino — House Rules

Everybody knows dominoes and nobody agrees on them. So here every argument is a setting: who opens, what happens when you are stuck, whether a double turns the chain, what a blocked round is worth.

Dominoes is not one game. It is a family of them, and every kitchen table plays a slightly different member. This one lets you say which.

FEATURES

• Three games — Block, Draw and Kozyol
• Forty agreements — who opens and with what, whether there is a boneyard and how you draw from it, what a double does, when a blocked round ends, what it scores, and who wins. Save the result as your own set, and the game says up front when two rules cannot both be true
• Opponents that pay attention — the top two levels remember that you passed while the ends showed a four and a two, work out what can still be in the boneyard, and play the last few tiles out exactly rather than hopefully
• Two to four players
• Online multiplayer — create a private room and share the code, or hit Quick Match. Empty seats are filled with computer players, so the game always starts
• Provably fair deals — in multiplayer the server publishes a cryptographic hash of the shuffle before the deal and reveals the seed afterwards, so you can check for yourself that no hand was rigged

NO ACCOUNT, NO FUSS
