Dominoes

The game in question is a classic game of dominoes. It consists of a set of 28 tiles, each with two sides that are marked with pips ranging from 0 to 6. There are unique combinations of numbers on each tile, making sure that no two tiles are the same. At the start of the game, each player is dealt 7 tiles. The player with the highest double, or the highest-ranked tiles, will always start the game.

The objective of the game is to place tiles on the table in a way that matches the number of pips on either side of the domino chain. The tiles are placed in a vertical or horizontal position so that the matching sides of the two tiles are adjacent. Doubles must always be placed perpendicularly to the previous tile, while the next tile played to a double must also be perpendicular.

The game continues until a player empties their hand and wins the round, adding the total number of pips on the other player's remaining tiles to their score. If both players still have tiles left but neither of them can make a move, the round also ends. In that case, the player with a smaller number of pips on the tiles in their hand wins, and the difference in the two players' numbers of pips will be added to the winner's score.

If you can no longer connect a tile to the end of the domino chain, you can draw a tile from the stock pile. However, you cannot do so if the stock decreases to 2 or below, and in this case, you will need to pass the turn to your opponent.

Overall, this game of dominoes is a fun and engaging way to pass the time while exercising your strategic thinking skills. Whether you're an experienced player or a beginner, this game will provide you with hours of entertainment.
