Welcome to Blind Dominoes!
Blind Dominoes is a super fun twist on the classic game of Block Dominoes. The goal is simple – play all your dominoes by strategically placing them on the line. But here’s the catch: you can’t look at your own dominoes! They’re kept face down, so you’ll need a sharp memory and quick thinking to come out on top.
Getting Started
To play Blind Dominoes, you’ll need a double six set of dominoes. Start by turning all the dominoes face down on the playing space and give them a good shuffle. Now, let’s determine who goes first. Each player should draw one domino and add up the pips. The player with the highest total gets the honor of playing first. Put those dominoes back in the pile, give them another shuffle, and we’re ready to go!
Now it’s time to draw some dominoes. Each player takes turns drawing one domino at a time until they have the required number of dominoes. Easy peasy, right?
Now, let’s talk about playing dominos. It’s a game that can be enjoyed by two to eight players. To start off, each player is given a set number of dominos, depending on how many people are playing.
The unused dominos are set aside and not used in this game. It’s important that players don’t look at the dominoes they draw. Instead, they should place them face down in front of them, arranging them in a row from left to right. This keeps things fair and makes the game more exciting.
Once everyone has their dominoes, it’s time to begin playing. Let me explain how the game works.
Title: THE PLAY
Now that we’re all set up, it’s time to dive into the action. Remember, each player has their dominoes lined up in front of them, face down.
The first player will start by choosing one of their dominoes and placing it face up in the center of the playing area. This is called the starting domino.
Then, taking turns clockwise, each player will continue to add their dominoes to the ends of the chain. To do this, you’ll need to find a domino with a matching number of spots on one end. For example, if the starting domino has five spots on one end, you’ll need to play a domino with five spots on one end as well.
If you don’t have a matching domino, you’ll need to draw from the pile of unused dominoes and try again. Remember, you can’t look at the dominoes you draw, so it’s always a surprise!
The game continues until one player has played all of their dominoes or until no one can make a move. At this point, the player with the fewest spots on their remaining dominoes wins the game.
So, that’s how you play dominos! It’s a simple yet strategic game that can be enjoyed by players of all ages. Give it a try and see who comes out on top!
When it’s my turn, I can choose any of my dominoes to show. If I can add that domino to the line, I get to choose another domino to show. If the second domino can be added to my first one, I can flip over another domino. This keeps going until I reveal a domino that can’t be played with the others. If I can play a domino, I add it to the line. But if the domino I reveal can’t be played, I put it at the end of the row face down. If the domino that can’t be played is a double, I put it at the end of the row face up. Once I reveal a domino that can’t be played, my turn is done.
We keep playing like this until either one of us has played all of our dominoes or the game is blocked.
SCORING
When I get rid of all my dominoes, the round is immediately over. I win the round.
If at any point, none of us can play a domino, the game becomes blocked. In that case, the player with the fewest pips wins.
If you want to play many rounds and keep score, I earn one point for winning each round. The first of us to reach five points wins.
