Lesson 2 of 6
How a turn works
Dominoes is all about matching. The tiles on the table form a line with two open ends. On your turn, play one tile whose number matches either open end.
- 1The first player sets down any tile, or a specific double if your table uses that rule.
- 2Take turns going around the table. Match an open end and play one tile.
- 3Doubles are usually set crosswise so they're easy to spot. They still leave just one number open on that end.
- 4Can't match either end? Say “paso” (I pass) and the turn moves on.
- 5The hand ends when someone plays their last tile, or when nobody can play at all.
