Double Six Dominoes Set of 28

If you are interested in playing a popular pub game, try Double Six Domino. This classic version of dominoes is best played with two players. To start the game, each player selects seven dominoes at random. The first player plays the domino with the highest number on it.

After each round, the players continue until one person scores 100 points. Points are scored based on the open ends of the dominoes. A player wins the game if all of the exposed ends are multiples of five. It is possible to play the game in a variety of ways. For example, some games consider all four sides of the doubles to be open. However, other variations consider only the two ends to be open.

In some versions, the tiles are drawn from a stock. The tiles are generally placed on the edge of the table before the game starts. Each tile is marked with a number and a line down the middle. These can be used to count and divide the number of pips on each side of the tile. Typically, each tile is two inches long. Depending on the rules of the particular game, the number of pips may or may not be included in the total.

Double Six Domino is the most basic of the domino sets. A set of 28 full-size Double Six Dominoes is included in the package. Also included is a wooden divider that can be removed from the box and used to stack the Dominoes on their sides. When the divider is removed, the Dominoes will measure 8 x 5.5 x 2 inches. They are packaged in a beautiful walnut storage box.

Unlike other types of dominoes, Double Six is not a trick-taking game. Instead, the player who can count the most outstanding tiles has a great advantage. During the course of the game, each tile is played crosswise or vertically. Once the last domino is played, the round is over.

In some versions of the game, a player must draw a new tile until he can play it. Normally, the first tile played is a double six. Alternatively, a player may choose to play a 6-5 or a 5-5. Usually, the second tile is played to the right of the double six.

Regardless of the way you play the game, you will want to keep an eye on your opponent's tiles. You can determine their values, which will help you to set up the next turn. Generally, if you have a lot of 6s, you should play the sixth tile to match the first tile. Likewise, if you have a lot of 2s, you should play the second tile to match the first tile. Whenever you have the opportunity, play a 6 or a 2 to complete the chain.

There are a variety of different Double Six Dominoes that can be purchased. While many are adapted from card games, others are completely original. Some popular variations include Mexican Train dominoes, which is played with doubles. Other variants involve the use of multicolored tiles.
