Dominoes: from controls to your first round
Make Dominoes your next activity in the game library. Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. Look at what changes after your first action. Check the rule that explains your first action. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Double-six draw dominoes, local two players with shared-screen visible hands.

The challenge in front of you
Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
The steps to play
- Play a tile matching either open chain end.
- Choose which end to use.
- Draw only when no tile fits.
- Pass only with no legal tile and an empty stock.
How to interact with the game
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Use the control method described here for this activity. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A useful example
An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Avoid this misunderstanding
You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
