SOUTH AMERICAN DOMINOES – A Fun Game for 4 Players

Get Ready for an Exciting Game!

Hey there! I’m here to introduce you to an awesome game called South American Dominoes. It’s a game that you can play with 4 players, and the goal is to win 10 rounds. Sounds cool, right?

Before we jump into the excitement, let me tell you a bit about how the game works. In South American Dominoes, you play in fixed partnerships, which means that you team up with another player, and you both work together to win the game. You and your partner should sit across from each other, so you can easily strategize and communicate.

First Things First – Setting Up the Game

Now, let’s get down to business and set up the game. The first thing we need to do is choose a dealer. The dealer is randomly selected and takes charge of shuffling the tiles. Each player is then given 7 dominoes. And remember, we want to make sure that all the dominoes are dealt, so there shouldn’t be any leftovers.

Here’s a little twist – if a player has 5 or more doubles in their hand, they can make a special declaration. This means that they get to collect all the dominoes and have them reshuffled. Another variation of the game allows a player to declare a redeal only if they have all 7 doubles. Fun, right?

Let the Fun Begin – Gameplay Secrets Revealed

Alright, now that everything is set up, it’s time for the main event – gameplay! Each player takes turns laying down one domino at a time, connecting them to create a chain. You want to strategically match the numbers on the dominoes to connect them together.

Remember, you’re working with your partner, so communication is key! Make sure you and your partner are on the same page and working together to win those rounds. Keep an eye on your opponents, too, because they’re trying to win as well.

The game keeps going until one team reaches 10 rounds won. It’s all about teamwork, strategy, and a little bit of luck to come out on top!

So what are you waiting for? Grab your friends, set up the game, and let the fun begin! South American Dominoes is a blast, and I’m sure you’ll have a great time playing it.

When we start the game, the person who has the double 6 tile goes first. After the first round, the first player passes the turn to the person on their right. The new player can choose any tile to start the layout. The order of turns goes counterclockwise.

When it’s your turn, you can add a tile to the layout if you can. If you can’t legally add a tile, you have to pass your turn. To add a tile to the layout, you have to match the numbers on the ends of the tiles. The only time this doesn’t apply is when you have a double tile, which has the same number on both ends. When you add a double tile, you have to place it at a 90-degree angle in the layout.

We keep playing until one player manages to play all their tiles or until all four players pass their turns because they can’t play any more tiles to the layout.

If you’re able to get rid of all the cards in your hand, your team wins the round. But if the game ends with no more moves left, both teams count how many dots are on the tiles they still have. The team with fewer dots wins. However, if both teams have the same number of dots, the round is a tie.

How Points Are Scored

Once we figure out the winner of a round, it’s time to start scoring. The winning team gets a point for themselves.

After scoring, a new round begins. We collect the tiles, shuffle them, and make a new pattern, just like in the gameplay rules.

Ending the Game

The game is over when one team wins 10 rounds. But here’s the catch: for a team to win the game, they need to win at least 10 rounds, and their opponent must have won 5 rounds too. Otherwise, the game ends in a tie.
