Dominoe is a very well known game not only in Puerto Rico, but also in all Spanish civilizations and in the Caribbean Islands. It’s a real pastime and it is really loved and played by people of any age.

Inside this site you will understand how to play dominoe the way I was taught to play it by my mom and dad. The way Puerto Ricans play the game. I will have extra post on how to play dominos with different rules and ways to play dominoe.

You are going to need a dominoes set. The regular set is the double six dominoes set with 28 domino. To play the game you’ll have a minimum of two participants and a maximum of 4 game players. Here we shall concentrate on a four (4) player game. When there are four players, you play as partners. The player on to the front side of you is your game partner. The players towards the right and left of you are your competitor.

All dominoe are shuffled face down. Each and every single gamer draws seven dominoe. Each and every single participant keeps their personal dominoes secret to themselves. It is important to keep your dominoes secret. Don’t let anyone see your dominoes, as well as your partner.

In the first game of a match, the game player who holds the double six begins the game. That’s only carried out on the first hand. The winning player of the first hand and each winner soon after can kick off the hand with any domino they desire. This can be a double or another dominoes.

After the first domino is displayed, the next player to the opener’s RIGHT throws a dominos. The next player can either draw or pass assuming they really don’t have a matching dominoes. The action goes on counter-clockwise.

The dominoe layout always has 2 open ends. When playing a dominos, you will have to place it on one of the long end of the dominos. The dominoe won’t ever play in the middle of the domino, only the long end. All domino played will have to be played to a free end and must match numbers. i.e. a 3 must be played to a 3, a 5 to a 5, and so on.

If a player does not possess a matching number to play, they need to take a pass to the following gamer. The dominos game finishes when the last dominoes is played, or in the event the game is locked (the game can no longer continue).

In the event the game ends, you gather all unplayed dominoes. All remaining points are awarded to the winning gamers. When the game is locked, Both teams add their points. the team with the smallest amount of points wins the hand and adds the points from all players for final score. You’re free to play a 150, 250, or 500 point game. First team to reach the permitted points wins.
