The following is a partial list of games played with domino tiles or similar equipment.
Likewise there are also domino-like card games, e.g., Sevens and the once very popular Pope Joan.
It requires a double-six set, from which each player must draw seven tiles; the remainder is not used.
A winner who has dominoed, scores the total remaining pip count of the loser's hand.
[1] Chickenfoot is a modern game related to the Cyprus family which begins with a spinner which is played four or six ways.
Cyprus is a variant of Sebastopol, but played by 4–10 players with a double-nine set.
Once the central spinner and the four adjacent tiles have been played, the next four tiles to be played must be doubles, which are turned crosswise to form the likeness of a Maltese cross, but do not act as spinners.
[5] Matador or Russian Dominoes is another blocking game whose unique feature is that, in playing a piece, players must ensure the ends add up to seven, as opposed to the usual rule whereby the ends are simply matched.
[6] The game starts with a double in the middle of the table, acting as a spinner from which the players' "private trains" branch off.
An additional 'Mexican train', initially of length zero, also starts from the central spinner.
The game starts with a double in the middle, from which the line of play takes off in four directions.
[1][7] This game, developed by James F. and Edna Graham, is played with a standard double-nine set plus eleven additional tiles representing combinations of the standard values 0–9 with an additional "spinner" symbol and the double "spinner".
[8] The games of the trains family are typically played between four to ten players with double-nine or double-twelve sets.
In the variant of Sniff, the first double is a spinner called the sniff which is open on all four sides; in the variant of Five Up, all doubles can be used as spinners, from which lines of play branch.
5s and 3s is a skillful version of dominoes played in pairs or fours and used in competitions and in leagues.
The total number of pips at the open ends (with doubles counting twice) are used to decide if a player scores points.
[12][13] 42, also known as Texas 42, is a trick-taking game played with a standard set of double-six dominoes.
Then a tile is turned up from the stock, and the higher of its two values determines the trump suit.
In the first phase of the game each trick is followed by both players drawing a tile from the stock.
From this point on the second player in each trick is obliged to follow suit as follows: Whenever possible, a trump must be answered by a trump, and a non-trump by a tile that matches its higher end if possible, or otherwise its lower end.
This adaptation of the Concentration card game is generally played by two players.
The tiles are placed face down on the table, shuffled and then arranged in a simple rectangular grid.
With double-six dominoes, pairs consist of any two tiles whose pips sum to 12.
This proprietary variation of the standard draw game was created by Thierry Denoual.
