It is not possible to stay under 21 with a hand of more than nine tiles.Įach player draws two tiles after placing his original stake, regardless of the number of players in the game. ![]() If the player buys another tile he pays another penny for a total of 3 cents, which the banker matches it with 9 cents, and so forth up to nine tiles. That is, if the player puts up one penny per tile, he has to start with 2 cents to buy his initial hand, and the banker matches it with 4 cents. Each player stakes a predetermined amount of money or chips for each tile in his hand, the price of a tile, and the banker matches it with the square of the amount. The Dealīefore dealing the hands, one player is designated as the banker and all bets are made against him. With changes in the rules and a larger set of dominoes, the game can be extended to a greater number of players. The game is for two to five players with a double six set. The first player to reach the designated number of points wins the overall game.Domino twenty-one is an adaptation of the card game 21 or Blackjack using a double six set of dominoes. For example, if the sum of the pips is 27, the player going out would receive twenty five points. The player who plays all of his or her tiles first ends the round, and receives additional points equal to the total number of pips remaining in each of the players’ hands, first rounded off to the nearest multiple of five. Since points are earned regardless of how long or short the train is, the following tiles result in the starting player scoring points for the first domino played:Ħ-4 tile has 10 pips so would result in 10 points ĥ-5 tile has 10 pips so would result in 10 points ĥ-0 tile has 5 pips so would result in 5 points Ĥ-1 tile has 5 pips so would result in 5 points ģ-2 tile has 5 pips would result in 5 points. When a double tile is played on one of the ends, the total number of pips on both squares of the double is used to determine the sum of the ends, as in the case with the 6-6 tile in the example just described. Since the sum is a multiple of five, the player would receive 20 points. So the following addition problem would be computed: 2 + 2 + 4 + 12 = 20. After each tile is played, the number of pips on the ending squares of the trains are added together, to determine if the sum is a multiple of five. Finally, a train is allowed to turn so it doesn’t extend off the table.įor each multiple of five, the player receives 5 points. Another rule depicted in Figure 2 is that doubles are placed perpendicular to non-double tiles. Trains of tiles must grow from the long ends of the spinner tile before players can play off the spinner’s narrow sides. There will be at most four trains (rows of tiles) extending from the four sides of the “spinner,” which is the term used for the first double-tile played. If the player does not have a domino that matches, the player must draw from the tile heap until a tile is drawn that can be played, or until there are no more tiles to draw, at which time, that player’s turn is forfeited. For example, if the 6-4 was led, the second player must play a domino with one of its squares containing either a 6 or a 4. A matching tile has a square with the same number of pips as the square of the tile at an open end of the train. A player takes a turn by matching one of his or her dominoes to an open end of the trains of dominoes that have been played. Players will play in a clockwise sequence. The starting player can play any domino from his or her hand, whether or not it scores points. Any leftover or extra dominoes are placed to the side, in the “heap.” Dominoes in the heap are used if a player, during his or her turn, does not have a domino that matches any of the domino “ends” that have been played on the table. All players then draw equal numbers of tiles, and conceal their tiles from the view of other players. Once the starting player is selected, all dominoes are returned to the facedown position and reshuffled. Each player draws one domino, and the player with the largest number of pips on his or her domino starts the game. In Domino All Fives only the initial double is a spinnerįirst, all the tiles are placed face down and shuffled. This game is generally played with a double six set of dominoes. The first player to reach a designated number of points wins the game. For each multiple of five resulting from play, the player receives 5 points. One type of domino game, the All Fives Domino Game, uses multiples of five to score points. ![]()
