Dominoes: goal and players
Play Dominoes online on JAWNA at jawna.app. Check the goal and supported player counts before inviting your group. Read the rules even if you know the game: familiar names can have different variants, and your usual house rules may differ from the selected version.
Supported table sizes: 2, 3 or 4 players. Choose a player count in the game settings. In partner variants, check seats and teams first. In individual formats, each player competes for their own result. The in-game How to play screen provides details. Agree on the variant before your first round together.
How to play: rules
- 28 tiles, 7 each. Play goes counterclockwise. Match a tile to either open end of the line.
- Two players: the other 14 tiles are a stock. With nothing to play you draw until a tile fits; once the stock is empty you pass.
- Four players: in 2 v 2, partners sit opposite; in Solo, each player scores alone. There is no stock, so pass if nothing fits.
- The first round starts with the highest double (6-6 with four players). After that, the round winner starts with any tile.
- Empty your hand to win a round and score the opponents’ pips. If blocked: 2 v 2 goes to the team with fewer pips left in total; Solo goes to the player with the fewest pips left. Equal team totals use the lowest individual pip count; a minimum tie across sides scores nothing.
- The first to 100 points wins the match.

Tips and strategy
Notice the numbers on which opponents pass, as these suggest gaps in their tiles. Preserve several playable numbers instead of depending on a single end. If the board is close to blocking, count the pips you may be left holding before keeping a heavy tile. In partnerships, opening your preferred number can be costly if it strands your partner. Follow the selected mode’s draw, pass and blocked-hand rules.

History & origins
Domino tiles are recorded in medieval China. The European tradition became established in the 18th century.
European sets developed a different tile collection, including blanks, and gave rise to many blocking, drawing and scoring games.
Matching equal ends is their shared language. The history belongs to a whole tile-game family, whose local rules vary widely.
