How To Play Dominoes For 2 Players?

Use a standard double-six domino set

Shuffle all dominoes face down

Each player draws 7 tiles

Place the remaining tiles face down as the boneyard

Decide who starts, usually the player with the highest double

If no one has a double, the player with the highest tile starts

The first player places one tile in the center

Players take turns matching one end of a tile to a matching open end on the layout

Tiles must match by the same number of pips

If a player cannot play, they draw one tile from the boneyard

If the drawn tile can be played, it may be played immediately

If not, the player keeps it and passes the turn

Continue taking turns until one player uses all their tiles

If the boneyard is empty and a player cannot play, they pass

The round ends when one player goes out or both players are blocked

Score the round by counting the pips left in the opponent’s hand

Play multiple rounds until a target score is reached

The player with the highest total score wins
