Hi - Musical Dominos are played just as numerical Dominos are. It's just that you match the musical notes rather than numbers of dots.
Here's a basic breakdown of how to play dominoes:
Here's a basic breakdown of how to play dominoes:
- 1. Shuffle and Deal: Shuffle the dominoes face down and have each player draw a set number of tiles based on the number of players.
- 2. First Play: The player with the highest double (same number on both ends) or the player with the highest number tile starts.
- 3. Matching Tiles: Each player takes turns laying a tile down, matching the number on one end of their tile to the open end of the previous tile played.
- 4. Doubles: Doubles are played perpendicular to the existing line of play and can be played off of either end.
- 5. Drawing from Boneyard: If a player cannot play a tile, they must draw from the boneyard (the remaining pile of dominoes) until they can play one.
- 6. Scoring (if applicable): Some domino variations have scoring rules, such as counting points for matching a total of five or ten. The first player to play all of their tiles or reach the scoring objective is the winner.
