Dominoes rules
Dominoes is a tile-matching game for 2 to 4 players. You take turns adding a tile to a line on the table, and your tile must match the number on the end it joins. The first player to run out of tiles wins the round and scores the dots, called pips, on the tiles the others still hold.
Also called Draw Dominoes, Block Dominoes, Double-Six Dominoes.
- Players
- 2 to 4. With 4, you can also play in 2 teams of 2.
- You need
- A double-six domino set of 28 tiles, plus paper and a pencil for the score
- Deal
- 7 tiles each for 2 players, 5 each for 3 or 4. The leftover tiles stay face down as the boneyard.
- Each turn
- Add 1 tile to either end of the line. If you cannot, draw from the boneyard until you can.
- Goal
- Be the first to play every tile in your hand
- Game ends
- The first player to 100 points wins
- Playing time
- About 30 minutes for a game to 100 points
Quick start
- Shuffle the 28 tiles face down. Draw 7 tiles each with 2 players, or 5 each with 3 or 4. Stand your tiles on edge so only you can see them.
- The leftover tiles stay face down as the boneyard. In the first round, the player holding the highest double starts by laying it face up in the middle of the table.
- Turns pass to the left. On your turn, add 1 tile to either end of the line. The end that touches must show the same number as the end it joins.
- If you cannot play, draw from the boneyard until you can. Pass if it is empty. In the block game nobody draws, and a player who cannot play passes.
- The round ends when a player plays their last tile. It also ends when nobody can play and the boneyard is empty. That is a blocked round.
- The winner scores the pips left in the other players’ hands. In a blocked round the fewest pips wins. Shuffle and play again. The first player to 100 points wins.

Setup
2 to 4 players with one double-six set. Everyone plays alone, or 4 can play as 2 teams of 2. Notes for each number of players, and for bigger groups, are further down.
You need: One double-six domino set of 28 tiles.
| In the set | Count | Worth when scoring |
|---|---|---|
| Doubles (the same number on both ends) | 7 | The pips on both ends: 0 to 12 |
| Singles (two different numbers) | 21 | The pips on both ends: 1 to 11 |
| Total | 28 |
- Each end of a tile shows a number from 0 to 6 as a pattern of dots. The dots are called pips. An end with no pips is a blank and counts as 0.
- Every pairing of two numbers appears on exactly one tile, so no two tiles are alike. The 7 doubles run from the double-blank to the double-six.
- Each number is on 7 tiles: its own double and one tile shared with each of the other 6 numbers.
- A set is named after its highest tile. Bigger sets, such as double-nine and double-twelve, are played the same way. Their sizes are in a table further down.
- Turn all 28 tiles face down on the table and mix them around with your hands. This is the shuffle.
- Each player draws tiles from the face-down pool. With 2 players, draw 7 tiles each. With 3 or 4 players, draw 5 each. Stand your tiles on edge facing you, so nobody else can see them.
- Leave the leftover tiles face down and push them to one side. They are called the boneyard.
- For the first round, find the highest double. Ask for the double-six first, then the double-five, and so on down. The player who holds it plays first. If nobody drew a double, put every tile back, shuffle and draw again.
| Players | Each player gets | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | 7 tiles | 14 tiles are left in the boneyard. |
| 3 | 5 tiles | 13 tiles are left in the boneyard. |
| 4 | 5 tiles | 8 tiles are left in the boneyard. |

- Dominoes rules differ from one group to the next, and the rule sheets packed with domino sets differ too. The rules on this page are the ones we found most often. The usual alternatives are listed under variants. Agree on them before the first round.
How to play
Dominoes is played in rounds, and the points from each round add up toward the game. The rules below are the draw game. The block game is the same in every way but one: nobody draws from the boneyard.
-
Start the line
In the first round, the player holding the highest double starts by laying it face up in the middle of the table. Turns then pass to the left, clockwise. In each later round, the player to the left of the last starter goes first and may play any tile.
- Some groups start every round with the highest double. Others let the winner of a round start the next one.
- Other ways to choose the starter are listed under variants.
-
Add a tile to the line
On your turn, add 1 tile from your hand to either end of the line. The end of your tile that touches the line must show the same number as the open end it joins. A blank joins a blank. The far end of your tile becomes the new open end.
- The line has 2 open ends and no more. A tile cannot be joined to a number in the middle of the line.
- If you hold a tile that fits, you must play. You choose which tile to play and which end to play it on.
- When the line gets close to the edge of the table, turn it in a new direction. Bends change nothing, because only the 2 open ends matter.
The line before your turn
Open ends: a 6 and a 2
The line after you add the 2-5
Open ends: a 6 and a 5
Adding a tile. The touching ends match, and the far end of the new tile becomes the open end. -
Lay doubles crosswise
A double is laid across the line, at a right angle to the other tiles. It does not split the line in two. The next tile joins the far side of the double, so that end of the line still shows the same number.
- When the first tile of a round is a double, the next tiles go on its 2 long sides, one on each.
- Some groups let the first double be built on from all 4 sides. That is the spinner rule, listed under variants.
-
Draw when you cannot play
If no tile in your hand fits either end, draw from the boneyard 1 tile at a time until you draw one that fits, then play it. Tiles that did not fit stay in your hand. If the boneyard is empty, pass. In the block game nobody draws, so a player who cannot play passes at once.
- Take any tile you like from the boneyard. They are all face down, so nobody knows which tile is which.
- In the block game the leftover tiles sit out the whole round.
- A pass is never a choice. You pass only when you cannot play and have nothing left to draw.
- Many players knock on the table to show that they pass.
-
End the round
The round ends when a player plays their last tile. That is called going out, and many players call out the word domino as they do it. The round also ends when it is blocked, which means the boneyard is empty and no player can add a tile.
- In the block game a round is blocked as soon as no player can add a tile.
- An example: both ends of the line show a 4, and all 7 tiles with a 4 on them are already on the table. Nobody can play again. In the block game the round ends there. In the draw game it ends once the boneyard has been drawn.
-
Score the round
The player who went out wins the round. In a blocked round, all players turn their tiles face up and count their pips, and the player with the fewest wins. The winner scores 1 point for each pip left in the other players’ hands. Then shuffle all 28 tiles and draw new hands for the next round.
- If players tie for the fewest pips in a blocked round, nobody scores for that round.
- Count both ends of every tile. A double counts both of its halves, so the double-six is worth 12 points.
| Situation | Draw game | Block game |
|---|---|---|
| You cannot play | Draw from the boneyard until you can play. Pass only when it is empty. | Pass. |
| The leftover tiles | They form the boneyard and can be drawn. | They are set aside and not used in the round. |
| The round is blocked | When the boneyard is empty and nobody can play. | When nobody can play. |
| Set | Numbers on the tiles | Tiles in the set |
|---|---|---|
| Double-six | 0 to 6 | 28 |
| Double-nine | 0 to 9 | 55 |
| Double-twelve | 0 to 12 | 91 |
| Double-fifteen | 0 to 15 | 136 |
| Double-eighteen | 0 to 18 | 190 |
Example: the tiles you can play
The round began with the double-six, and the line has grown on both sides of it. Its open ends now show a 2 and a 1. You hold 5 tiles. The 5-2 fits the 2 end, and its 5 would become the new open end. The double-one fits the 1 end and is laid crosswise. The 2-1 fits either end. The 6-5 and the 3-blank cannot be played. There are 6s and 3s on the table, but they are in the middle of the line, and tiles can be added only at its ends.
The line on the table
It started with the double-six
Your hand: tiles that fit
5-2 on the 2 end, double-one on the 1 end, 2-1 on either end
Your hand: tiles that do not fit
No open end shows a 6, 5, 3 or blank
Scoring
Nobody scores while a round is being played. When the round ends, one player wins it and scores the pips left in the other players’ hands.
| How the round ended | Who wins the round | What the winner scores |
|---|---|---|
| A player plays their last tile | That player | All the pips left in the other players’ hands |
| The round is blocked | The player with the fewest pips in hand | All the pips left in the other players’ hands |
| The round is blocked and players tie for the fewest pips | Nobody | Nothing |
- A tile is worth the pips on both of its ends. The 6-4 counts 10, the double-six counts 12 and the double-blank counts 0.
- Only the winner of the round scores. Tiles still in the boneyard are not counted, because the score comes from the other players’ hands. One version of the draw game does add them.
- Groups differ on the score for a blocked round. The other common ways to score it are listed under variants.
The first player to reach 100 points wins the game.
Use a sheet of paper with a column for each player. After each round, write down the points the winner scored and their new running total.
A worked example: scoring one round
Three players are in the game. You play your last tile and go out. Ben still holds 2 tiles and Cara holds 3. Add up the pips on those 5 tiles. You score 28 points for the round. Ben and Cara score nothing.
Ben’s hand
10 + 3 = 13 pips
Cara’s hand
10 + 3 + 2 = 15 pips
| What happened | Points |
|---|---|
| Ben’s 6-4 | 10 |
| Ben’s 2-1 | 3 |
| Cara’s double-five | 10 |
| Cara’s 3-blank | 3 |
| Cara’s double-one | 2 |
| Your score for the round | 28 |
Scorekeeper
For 2 to 4 players, or 2 teams. After each round, enter the points for the player who won it. A blocked round that ends in a tie scores nothing. The first to 100 wins. The target can be changed, because some groups play to 61, 150 or 200. It works in this browser, keeps the game if the page reloads, and needs no account.
Other ways to play
Dominoes for 2 players
Draw 7 tiles each. The other 14 tiles are the boneyard, so half the set starts out of sight. Play by the main rules. The first player to 100 points wins.
Dominoes for 3 or 4 players, each playing alone
Draw 5 tiles each. With 3 players, 13 tiles are left in the boneyard. With 4 players, 8 are left. Everyone keeps their own score, and the winner of a round scores the pips in all the other hands. The game is to 100 points. Some groups play to 61 when 3 or 4 play.
Dominoes for 4 players in partners
Four players can play as 2 teams of 2. Partners sit across from each other, so the teams take turns. Draw 5 tiles each and play by the main rules. When a player goes out, their team scores the pips left in the 2 opponents’ hands. The partner’s leftover tiles are not counted. In a blocked round, each team adds up the pips in both of its hands. The team with fewer pips wins the round and scores the other team’s pips. If the teams tie, nobody scores. The first team to 100 points wins. A partners game popular in Spain and Latin America deals out all 28 tiles, 7 to each player. With no boneyard it is a block game, and a player who cannot play passes.
Dominoes for 5 or more players
Use a bigger set. A double-nine set has 55 tiles and a double-twelve set has 91. The rules do not change. The highest double in the set, such as the double-nine, is the top starting tile. The rule sources we checked leave the hand size for bigger groups to the players, so agree on one before the first round.
House rules and other versions
- All Fives (Muggins)
- This version scores during play. After each play, add up the open ends of the line. If the total is a multiple of 5, you score that many points. A double on an end counts both halves. The round winner usually also scores the other players’ pips, rounded to the nearest 5. Games usually go to 250, or 200 with 3 or 4 players.
- Draw a tile to see who starts
- Before the hands are drawn, each player draws 1 tile. The heaviest tile goes first, or in one version the highest double. Those tiles are shuffled back in, and the first player may start with any tile. In each later round, the player to the left of the last starter goes first.
- Other starting rules
- The holder of the highest double may be allowed to start with any tile. When nobody holds a double, the heaviest tile can start in its place. A stricter rule makes the double-six the only starting tile, with a redraw until somebody holds it. In some groups the winner of one round starts the next.
- Different hand sizes
- The draw game is also played with 7 tiles each for 2 or 3 players and 6 each for 4. Some rule sheets give 5 tiles to every player, and others give 7. With 4 players, hands of 7 use all 28 tiles, so there is no boneyard and nothing to draw.
- Keep back the last 2 tiles
- Many rule books keep the last 2 tiles in the boneyard out of play. When only 2 are left, a player who cannot play passes. One set maker keeps back 2 tiles with 2 players and 1 tile with 4 players.
- Draw 1 tile only
- A player who cannot play draws 1 tile. If it fits, they play it. If it does not, they keep it and the turn ends. Some groups allow 2 draws.
- Drawing by choice
- Some rule books let you draw from the boneyard even when you hold a tile that fits. You must still play a tile before your turn ends if you can.
- Spinner
- The first double played is a spinner. After a tile has been added to each of its long sides, tiles may also be added to its 2 short ends. The layout can then have 4 open ends. All Fives is often played this way.
- Subtract your own pips
- In a blocked round, the winner takes their own pips off the total they score from the other players. A stricter version takes the winner’s pips off each opponent’s hand in turn.
- Other targets
- Some groups play to 61 points when 3 or 4 play, which lets a cribbage board keep the score. Games to 50, 150 or 200 points are also played.
- Count the boneyard
- In one version of the draw game, the winner of a round also scores the pips on the tiles still in the boneyard.
Rule questions
How many dominoes are in a set?
28 in a standard double-six set. Each tile pairs two numbers from 0 to 6, and every pairing appears once. Of the 28 tiles, 7 are doubles. Bigger sets hold more: a double-nine set has 55 tiles, a double-twelve set has 91, a double-fifteen set has 136 and a double-eighteen set has 190.
How many dominoes do you start with?
7 tiles each with 2 players, and 5 each with 3 or 4 players. Those are the numbers we found most often in rule sheets, but they are not the only ones. Some groups draw 7 each with 3 players and 6 each with 4. Some rule sheets give every player 5 tiles, and others give every player 7. Agree on the number before the first round.
Who goes first in dominoes?
The player holding the highest double goes first in the first round and plays it. The double-six is the highest. If nobody drew a double, shuffle and draw again, or let the heaviest tile start. In each later round, the player to the left of the last starter goes first. The other common way is for each player to draw 1 tile before the hands are drawn, with the heaviest tile going first.
What do you do if you cannot play a tile?
In the draw game, draw from the boneyard 1 tile at a time until you draw one that fits, then play it. You keep the tiles that did not fit. If the boneyard is empty, you pass and the next player takes a turn. In the block game there is no drawing, so you pass right away.
What is the difference between draw dominoes and block dominoes?
Only what happens when a player cannot play. In draw dominoes that player draws from the boneyard. In block dominoes that player passes, and the leftover tiles take no part in the round. Everything else is the same in both games. The names are not used the same way everywhere, and some groups say block dominoes for the game with drawing.
What happens when the game is blocked?
The round ends, and the player with the fewest pips in hand wins it. Everyone turns their tiles face up and counts. The winner scores the pips in the other players’ hands. If players tie for the fewest, nobody scores. Groups differ on both points. The winner’s own pips may be subtracted from the score, and a tie may go to the tied player holding the one tile with the fewest pips.
Do you have to play a tile if you can?
Yes. If you hold a tile that fits, you must play a tile on your turn. You can pass only when you cannot play and have nothing left to draw. Some rule books let you draw extra tiles first even when you could play, but you must still play before your turn ends.
Can you play on all four sides of a double?
Not in the basic game. A double is laid crosswise and the line carries on from its far side, so there are never more than 2 open ends. Some groups play the first double as a spinner, which can be built on from all 4 sides. Decide before you start.
Can you draw the last tiles in the boneyard?
Yes, in the rules given here. You keep drawing until you can play or the boneyard is empty. Many rule books say otherwise and keep the last 2 tiles out of play. Under that rule, a player who cannot play when only 2 tiles are left passes, and those 2 tiles are never drawn. Settle it before you start.
How many points do you need to win at dominoes?
100 in the usual game. The first player or team to reach it wins. Some groups play to 61 when 3 or 4 play, and games to 50, 150 or 200 are also played. All Fives, which also scores during play, usually goes to 250, or to 200 with 3 or 4 players.
Do these rules work with a double-nine or double-twelve set?
Yes. The rules are the same with any set. A double-nine set has 55 tiles and a double-twelve set has 91, so bigger groups can play. The highest double in the set starts the first round. With 5 or more players, agree on a hand size first, because the rule sources we checked leave that to the players. Mexican Train is a different game played with a double-twelve set, and it has its own rules.
What is All Fives, and how is it different?
All Fives scores during play. Each time the open ends add up to a multiple of 5 right after your play, you score that total. In the basic game nobody scores until a round ends. All Fives is also called Muggins or Fives, and some set makers call it Straight Dominoes. Many groups play its first double as a spinner.
