Use and Care Manual

In some domino games, a score is made only when the count of the ends of the line of play are a
multiple of 5 or a multiple of 3, for example.
Another scoring method used in many domino games is to take the losing players' total number of pips
by counting the pips on the tiles left in their hands at the end of a hand or the game and then adding
that number to the winner's score.
Here is a rule variation that players may agree to employ: When counting the pips on the tiles left in the
losers' hands at the end of a hand or the game, count only one end of a double (i.e., 4-4 counts as only 4
points).
End of the Game
Some domino games end once a certain number of hands have been played or a player or team makes
the necessary points to win. For many other domino games, the object of the game is to be the first
player (or team) to dispose of all the dominoes in your hand. These domino games end when a player
has played all the dominoes in his hand before the other players and announces, "Domino."
Sometimes none of the players are able to make another play. This is called a blocked game, and, in case
the game is blocked and no one is able to make another play, the game would end.
What To Do If These Accidents Occur:
Dominoes Are Exposed In Error
If your domino is accidentally exposed to another player, it must then be exposed to all of the players.
Too Many Tiles Are Drawn
If a player draws more tiles for his hand than he is entitled to, it is called an overdraw. Once an overdraw
has been discovered, the player to the right of the overdrawn hand takes the extra dominoes from the
overdrawn hand, without looking at them, and returns them to the stock. The deck should then be
reshuffled before anyone else draws his hand.
Here is a rule variation that players may agree to employ: Expose the overdrawn tiles to all players
before returning them to the stock and then reshuffling the deck.
Not Enough Tiles Are Drawn
If a player draws fewer tiles for his hand than he is entitled to, it is called an underdraw. Once an
underdraw has been discovered, he draws the necessary tiles from the stock to complete his hand.
