How to Play Dominoes
by admin
Dominoes are a type of tile-laying game that originated in Europe. They can be made from a wide variety of materials, including bone, silver lip ocean pearl (MOP) oyster shell, ivory, and dark hardwoods such as ebony. They have contrasting black or white pips that represent each possible face of a two-sided die (2d6). They can also be made from ceramic clay, frosted glass, or crystal. There are different ways to play dominoes, but they all start with drawing lots or picking a hand of tiles from the table. The players can then place the tiles on the table to form a set. The goal of the game is to reach a certain number of tiles, and the highest number wins. Typically, the players start with a set of nine tiles each. In a game with fewer players, players can take less of the set at the beginning. Many players choose to play with an extended set, which increases the maximum number of pips on each end by three; this is a common choice for double-nine or double-twelve sets. This gives a maximum of 21 unique combinations of ends for a given set; however, it is very rare for this number to exist in practice. In some European-style games, a single set of dominoes is used; if a player is out of dominoes to draw from, the game can be played with a second set of tiles. A third set of tiles is usually drawn to complete the set for the final player to lay. One of the best ways to learn how to play is to watch a video or read a game manual, which can be found online. Most of these have instructions on how to play, as well as tips on strategy. Some people also use a board or other structure to help them draw dominoes. They can draw from a box or other container of the same size as their dominoes, and they may even use a special marker to mark the location of their pips. Another popular way to play is by using a domino set with a grid on it. This is the most common method of playing, but it can be complicated to use in practice. This is because it can be difficult to place the tiles in the correct positions and avoid flipping over them. In addition, it can be hard to see the numbers of pips on each tile if there is a lot of clutter on the board. A simpler version of this type of game is the block game, which uses a square tile instead of a circular tile. Unlike the block game, the tile must be laid down before it can be removed. The game of laying out the tiles is sometimes called pupai in Chinese. It was first described by Zhang Pu in the 16th century. It has also been referred to as pupao in English and Chinese.
