2. Draw Dominoes (open variation)
3. Block Dominoes (closed variation)

Dominoes is a classic 2-player strategy game played with 28 dominoes. At the start, each player receives either 7 or 9 dominoes.
The primary goal is to be the first player to reach a pre-determined score, typically between 100 and 500 points.

**Five-Up Variation:**
In Five-Up, scores are earned during gameplay whenever the exposed ends of the domino chain add up to a multiple of five.
Additionally, at the end of each round, the winner scores points based on the total pip count of the tiles remaining in the opponent's hand. Players can choose to play with 7-bone or 9-bone hand variations.
At the beginning of a dominoes game, the hands are dealt by randomly shuffling tiles and distributing 7 or 9 tiles (also called bones or dominoes) to each player.
The remaining dominoes are placed in the boneyard to be drawn from by a player when a tile cannot be played from his hand. If this is the first hand of a game, the player with double six must play it first (also see options below - random 1st hand). If no one has the double six, the call goes out for double five, then double four, and so on until one of the players can produce the called for tile. Players then take turns. In subsequent hands, the winner of the previous hand starts the next game.
The first player to use all of own tiles wins the hand in a game. Once the winning piece is placed on the chain, the hand is over and the players expose their remaining pieces to be counted in the scoring. No further plays can be made by any of the players. It is possible for the game to reach a dead end, where all play is blocked and no tiles may be played. This outcome is called a blocked or jammed game.
If a player does not have any tiles which have a number of pips that matches one of the exposed ends of the chain, that player must draw from the boneyard one tile at a time until he/she draws one which may be played.

**Draw Variation:**
Unlike the Five-Up variation, the Draw variation doesn't award points during gameplay for creating multiples of five. Points are only awarded at the end of each hand.
Players aim to match the pips on one end of a tile from their hand with the pips on an open end of any tile in the chain. If a player cannot match a tile, they must pass their turn. Players can only play one tile per turn. If a player is unable to match a tile with one in the chain, he/she must draw from the boneyard until the tile that can be played is drawn. If there are no tiles left in the boneyard, the player passes his/her turn. The first player to get rid of all dominoes wins the hand. If none of the players can make a play, the game ends in a block. If a hand ends in a block, the players turn the tiles in their hands face-up for counting. The player with the lowest total wins the hand and earns the points (1 point per pip) of all the tiles left remaining in his opponent's hand. The player who first reaches the agreed-upon number of points (100-500) or more is the overall winner.

**Block Variation:**
This variation is similar to the Draw variation, but players cannot draw tiles from the boneyard. If no player can make a play, the hand ends in a block. Players then reveal their tiles for counting. The player with the lowest total pip count wins the hand and earns points (1 point per pip) equal to the total pip count of their opponent's remaining tiles. The first player to accumulate the agreed-upon number of points (100-500) or more wins the game.

Since Dominoes Club is an online game, a stable internet connection is required. While WIFI is recommended, the game also performs well on a 3G connection. Dominoes Club features an automatic reconnect function in case of connection loss, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted domino experience!
