The main goal in Dominoes Deluxe is to be the first player to empty your hand of domino tiles or, in some game modes, to reach a specific score before your opponent.
You'll take turns matching the pips on your tiles to the open ends of the domino chain on the table.
Controls are very simple and intuitive. Use your mouse to click and drag tiles from your hand onto the game board. If you're playing on a touch-enabled device, you can tap and drag tiles directly with your finger.
Each turn, inspect the open ends of the domino chain. If you have a tile that matches the number of pips on either end, click or tap it to play it.
If you don't have a matching tile in "Draw Game" mode, you'll be prompted to draw new tiles from the boneyard until you find one you can play. In "Block Game" mode, if you can't play, you simply pass your turn.
Keep an eye on doubles - Double tiles can be played on any open end and often help you get rid of higher-value tiles or open up new playing opportunities.
Play high-value tiles early - Try to play your dominoes with many pips (e.g., 6-6, 5-6) as soon as possible, especially in scoring games, so you don't get stuck with them if your opponent goes out.
Block your opponent - If you notice your opponent is frequently playing a certain number, try to play a tile that closes off that number, forcing them to draw or pass.
Count the open ends - Pay attention to which numbers are currently open on the ends of the chain. This helps you plan your next moves and anticipate what your opponent might play.
Manage your hand - Try to keep a variety of numbers in your hand if possible. Don't play all of one number unless it's strategically necessary, as you might need it later to make a crucial match.
