We recommend that before the round starts, all players look for the starting tile. The player who finds the tile starts the game. They place the double in the center of the hub. This domino serves as the "engine" for the round. The remaining dominoes are turned face down. This supply is known as the boneyard. Then, each player takes the appropriate number of dominoes see below and stands them on edge, so that they can see the faces the side with the pips but their opponents cannot.
Recommended Tiles:. The First Turn The start player now starts to build a train a single row of dominoes starting from the center domino and moving toward the player. The end of the domino placed near the engine must match the engine's double number.
Example: If the engine is a double, the end of the domino placed near the engine must be a The other end can be anything at all. Taking turns in a clockwise direction, the other players do the same.
Building Trains If a player cannot start a train on the first turn, they can draw from the boneyard pile. If they pick the needed domino in this case the double they can immediately play it. On the second turn and all subsequent turns, any player can play dominoes in marked areas. If a player cannot play, then they must put a train marker on the hub at their location to indicate that anyone can play on their train.
At this stage most, if not all, the players will build their own trains, a personal playing area. The trains will lead out from the engine towards the player that laid them. This formation is known as the roundhouse. Each player, in turn, places a tile to make the trains longer and to try and empty their hand. When you cannot go you must draw one domino from the boneyard unless the boneyard is empty. If you can play, you must place a tile. Options for Play: 1 Play on the end of your own train.
If you cannot play from your hand you can draw from the boneyard and can play that tile if it matches. If it doesn't match you place your train marker on the end of your own train. This opens it to other players. When you play on your own train again, take the train marker off your train and no one else can play on it.
After a double is played and that player has completed his turn and if he has left a double not played upon, all trains become unplayable until the next players can play onto that double. If players cannot play a tile on the double tile, they must draw once and determine if they can play. A player can play two doubles consecutively onto two different trains if that player is able to play an additional third tile from his hand without drawing onto one of those double tiles.
This means that a player could play 3 tiles in one turn. All players must always play when possible even if they have to play a tile out of their train line-up in their hand which is disrupting, but mandatory.
When any player is left with just one tile in his hand, he must give notice to the other players by tapping his final tile on the table. This allows other players a chance to lower their score by ridding themselves of a higher numbered tile on their next turn. General rules: Players must always play if they have an eligible tile. If there are no more tiles in the bone pile, a player must pass if he does not hold a playable tile, and then place a marker on his train The game is over when one player has dominoed played his final tile or when the game is blocked because no one holds a playable tile and all of the tiles in the bone yard have been drawn and everyone passes and the game is totally stalled.
It is possible for a game to end by someone playing a double or two doubles as his last play and without a follow-up domino. When any player has played his last domino no matter if it normally requires a follow-up, the game is over and no other players can play. Then, all players must count the number of pips or numbers on the tiles left in their hands 0, in the case of the player who has dominoed , and give that number to the scorekeeper.
As soon as the first round is completed, the next game begins by pulling out the if playing with a double set, or if playing with a double-9 set, or with a double set, or with a double set. The starter tile is placed in the middle of the table as the engine, and the rest of the deck is shuffled before drawing hands. This train must have an end matching the engine in the center of the train hub. For example, if the engine in the train hub is a double 12, the train must begin with a 12 on the starting end.
The train can be any amount of dominoes so long as each domino in the train has a matching end to the adjacent domino.
If a player does not have a domino that matches the engine to create a train, a train token is placed at the point in the hub marking where his train would have extended out. Note: If a player ends his train in a double on the first turn, everyone continues finishing their first turn according to the rules. A train that is marked with a train token is public and any player can add to that train after it is marked, except during the first turn.
A player who has marked their train public may change their train back to a private train and remove the marker in subsequent turns if they are able to play a matching end. After everyone has played their first turn, starting with the first player, each player adds to their train or a public train from their hand. Unlike the first turn, players can only add one domino at a time. If the player is unable to add a domino, the player must draw a domino from the boneyard and play that domino immediately if he is able to.
If not, he must mark his train public. At any point in the game, if there are no more tiles in the boneyard to draw, the player simply marks his train public. If the player is unable to play another domino, he must draw from the boneyard and play that domino on to the double or on to any public trains.
