About Dominoes
Dominoes brings the classic tile-matching game to your screen with a clean, minimalist look and two familiar rule sets. You and your opponent take turns laying tiles whose pips match the open ends of the chain on the table, and a round keeps going until one side runs out of options. Points carry over from round to round, and the first player to reach 100 wins.
The two modes change how much pressure you're under. In Draw Dominoes, a player with no playable tile must pull from the remaining pile until they find one, while Block Dominoes simply makes you pass. That small difference shifts the strategy quite a bit, so it's worth trying both. With no flashy distractions, it's a relaxing game for anyone who likes quiet, thoughtful turns and the steady satisfaction of a well-managed hand.
How to play Dominoes
- Choose Draw Dominoes or Block Dominoes.
- On your turn, play a tile whose number matches one of the open ends of the chain.
- In Draw mode, if you can't play, draw tiles until you can, and pass if none are left. In Block mode, you simply pass.
- Keep playing rounds and scoring points until a player reaches 100 points.

Tips and tricks
- Get rid of heavy tiles with lots of pips early, so you're not stuck holding them when a round ends.
- Keep a variety of numbers in your hand so you have options whatever the open ends become.
- Track which numbers have been played; if most tiles of a number are gone, leaving that number open can block your opponent.
- In Block mode you can't draw your way out of trouble, so keeping flexible tiles matters even more.
