In many domino games, a line of tiles is formed on the table as players make their plays, usually, but not always, by matching the pips on the open end of the domino. For example, there are a few games on this website where hands are not drawn, and, of course, the basic rules that pertain to more than one player would not apply to solitaire games. The basic rules here apply to most domino games shown on our website, but not all of them. It is also important, of course, that you make sure the rules you choose to play with are functional. Whether you choose to follow the rules precisely or create your own variation is irrelevant, as long as all the players clearly understand what the rules are and agree to them before the game begins. Most of the domino game rules included on our website also included several different rule variations.
We have included on our website rules to many different domino games. Also, there are many games that go by the same name in various parts of the world, but the rules vary from place to place. There are many domino games that go by different names and yet have extremely similar, and sometimes even identical, rules. If so, you may find that the rules on this website are not the exact rules as the ones you've learned.
