Domino legend

Why We Picked Domino legend

Last place in Classics by rank, first by simplicity: two domino variants, a plain table, and nothing else competing for attention. The Block and Draw options change how a stuck hand is handled, which is the only rule difference most players will notice, and games are short enough that losing badly costs little. With 141 plays it is the least documented page in the category, and it does not pretend otherwise.

How to Play

Three things decide whether a run here goes well:

• Choose Block or Draw, then play a tile whose end matches a pip count on the table.
• Win by playing your last tile first, or by leaving your opponent with nothing legal.
• Keep track of which numbers are already down so you know what your last tile can follow.

Editor’s Note

It suits two people who already know dominoes and want a hand finished in five minutes. There is no tutorial and almost no audience, so come with the rules already in your head.
