Dominoes online, with your friends and no download

Coming soon // 2 to 4 players

Draw and Block dominoes for 2 to 4 players: your tiles on your phone, the table on the TV. Planned to be free to play.

Coming soon

Dominoes online should not need an account, an app or a download. This version is planned to be free to play: open a link, your tiles are on your phone, and the table is on the TV or a laptop. It is coming soon. Until then, here is how the game works, so you can learn the rules before it opens.

How to play dominoes online with friends

The set is the standard double-six: 28 tiles, each with two ends showing 0 to 6 pips. Two versions are planned.

  • Draw. Each player takes 7 tiles with two players, or 5 with three or four. The rest wait in the boneyard. On your turn, put a tile on either open end of the chain so that the matching ends touch. If you cannot play, draw from the boneyard until you can.
  • Block. The same, but nobody draws. If you cannot play, you pass. This one is shorter and sharper.

The player holding the highest double starts. Doubles show as tiles across the chain, and a tile that fits both ends lets you choose which end to play. A hand ends when someone plays their last tile, or when nobody can move and the game is blocked.

Scoring a hand

When a player goes out, they score the total pips left in everyone else's hands. When the game is blocked, the player with the fewest pips scores the difference between the others' totals and their own. If the lowest is a tie, nobody scores. The game keeps score between hands.

Who it is for

For anyone who learned dominoes at a kitchen table and wants the table back. It works for a grandparent and a grandchild on one TV, two friends on a video call, or a family wanting a game that is gentle but still tricky. Your tiles stay private on your phone, so no one peeks.

The tiles are built with real depth and proper pips, so they read as objects on a table rather than flat clip art.
