Domino Block

📝 Special Statement

You've described the classic and timeless game of Dominoes!

This game is a perfect blend of observation, strategy, and a little bit of luck, centered around matching tiles to create a successful chain.

The Objective: Be the First to Empty Your Hand

The goal is to be the first to use all your tiles to win the game!

You start with a set number of tiles (or "bones") and must empty your hand by playing tiles that connect end-to-end with the existing chain on the table.

The Core Mechanic: Match the Dots

The entire game revolves around the rule of connection:

• Match the tiles with the same number of dots. If the open end of the chain has a tile with four dots, you must play a tile from your hand that also has a four on one of its sides.
• Doubles: Tiles where both ends have the same number of dots (e.g., 6-6) are typically played perpendicularly across the chain, often acting as a pivot point for play in four directions.

If you don't have a matching tile, you usually have to draw from a central boneyard until you find one (or pass your turn, depending on the rules variation). The winner is the player who skillfully manages their hand to play their final tile first! 🏆
