Tiles with a double value do not have a special meaning in this game.You can only place a tile that has exact the same number of dots on it as on the tile where you place it on.You can only place a tile on 1 of the open end of the tiles on the board.It is required to place a tile on the board passing is not allowed.Players take turns, if a player is on turn, he has to place one tile on the board following these rules: The rest is placed in the boneyard and used later in the game. See below for all domino tiles.īoth players get random 7 tiles each. There are 28 different domino tiles in this game (double six set). The start tile cannot be a double value tile. In the beginning of a round a random tile is placed open on the board. White is the starting player in the first round and the starting player is switched every new round. The player with the least penalty points wins the game. The game ends after all 10 rounds are played.The object is to play all of your tiles on the board before your opponent does. An optional rule is to score double 0 tiles as 50 points. Completing a roundĪ round is completed when one player plays the last domino in their hand or no players are able to make a legal play.Īt this point, each player records their points for the round by totaling the number of pips from the dominoes remaining in their hand. Once the Chickenfoot has completed, the plays can continue off any exposed matching end again. If the player is unable to play on that double, he must draw from the chicken yard and play that domino if possible or else pass. For example, if a double 5 was played, the player would call “Chickie Fives.” The next three plays must be made off that double, creating an arrangement that resembles a chicken foot.
#RULES OF DOMINOES PLUS#
The player then calls “Chickie” plus the numbers played. If a player plays a double, the double must be placed perpendicular to the domino played off of. If there are no dominoes remaining to draw from, then the player simply passes. If the player is unable to add a domino, then the player must draw a domino from the chicken yard and play that domino immediately if he is able to. This is merely a matter of preference.Īfter all the sides are played off the starting double, plays can continue off any exposed end domino as long as the ends match. Optionally, one can also play with just six sides or four sides filled and also without the centerpiece. The following player repeats the process of trying to play off the starting double and this continues until all sides of the centerpiece are filled. If not, the player calls “Pass” and the turn moves to the next player. If they do not have one, they draw a domino from the chicken yard and play that if possible.

This domino must have a matching end to the starting double. Going clockwise, the next player must play a domino from their hand off the starting double. If no one has the required starting double then each player simultaneously draws a domino from the chicken yard until it is found and a starting player is determined. The subsequent rounds begin with the next highest double, double 8, and the following round double 7, all the way to double 0 for a total of ten rounds.

For a double 9 set, you begin the first round with the double 9 domino. The leftover dominoes are placed on the side and referred to as the “chicken yard.”Ĭhicken foot establishes a round with a starting “double” (a tile with the same amount of pips or the same number on each end) placed in the centerpiece.

The number of dominoes each player draws varies with the number of players.
