Match the numbers showing at either end of the chain and be the first to set down your whole hand.
Quick start
Play a tile onto the left or right end where the numbers match. No match? Draw from the boneyard, or pass when it’s empty. Go out first, or hold fewer pips when play is blocked, to win the round. The round’s winner banks the pips left in the other hand; 100 takes the match.

About this game
The clack of tiles on a table, without the tiles going missing. You and the computer each draw seven dominoes, and the remainder form the boneyard. On your turn, add a tile to either end of the line so that its number matches the number at that end. If nothing fits, draw from the boneyard until something does, or pass once it’s empty. Play your last tile and you win the round, scoring every pip left in your opponent’s hand. If both sides are stuck, the lighter hand wins. First to 100 takes the match. Free to play in your browser, with no download and no sign-up.
Family tips
Play your heavy tiles early. Doubles and high-pip tiles like 6-6 or 6-5 cost you dearly if the computer goes out while you’re still holding them.
Keep variety in your hand. If you hold tiles showing many different numbers, you’ll have an answer for more of the ends that appear, and you’ll draw from the boneyard less often.
Count what’s been played. When most of the tiles showing a certain number are already on the table, leaving that number on an open end can block your opponent completely.
