Dominoes is a very smart, fun, and most importantly simple game. Even someone who has never played it understands and adapts very quickly. In order to know how domino points are counted you need to understand the rules and varieties of the game. There are several options. For example, a classic game, or team-on-team or "goat". In different types of the game, points are counted differently, and the loser is also determined.
First, a piece of paper is taken and the names of the players are written down. Rounds end when someone alone or a team scores over 100 points.
There are only 28 dice in the game, the total number of points on which is 168 pieces. Each bone is divided into two parts and contains a number from 0 to 6.
Let's find out how points are calculated in the classic game
Four people can play at once. Everyone gets seven dice. The one who has a double of 1/1 or the smallest starts to go first, if there are two or three players, then a "bazaar" appears, where players go if the necessary stone is not available. The goal of the players is to drop as many points as possible per game, and when one player runs out of dice, the game ends. And now, how to decide who won at dominoes?
All team members count the number of points on the chips they have left and play as many rounds when someone gets over 100. That person loses.
The same counting is done when playing as a two-on-two team. But there is one nuance. When you have one "double zero" die (an empty chip) in your hands after the end, 25 points are recorded in the total count, so you need to get rid of it as soon as possible, even if there are a lot of pacifiers.
We determine the winner of "Goat"
Everyone knows the funny name of the game, but counting points in dominoes here is much more interesting. Also, four, two or three players play for themselves or two on two.
In this case, points are recorded only when the player scores more than 13 points. If it is less, then they are simply memorized (it is better, of course, to write it down somewhere separately on a piece of paper). But when the sum is 13 or more, these points are added to the total. If a single 0:0 stone remains on the player's hands, he gets 25 points, and when the last 6:6 stone remains, he gets 50 points. They also play until someone reaches over 100.
In both of these options, you can make a "fish". This is when the bones are closed on both sides with the same number. But the sooner this moment comes, the worse it is for the players in counting, because there are still a lot of chips, and the points increase significantly.
Now you know how the game of dominoes ends, but many players are not counting in their favor! After one player has gotten rid of all the dice, the others score as many points as they have left on the dice. Therefore, everyone tries to get rid of doubles with sixes and fives almost immediately.
Don't forget one more trick. Players are awarded points during the game. Yes, the one who enters from the double gets two points. In addition, a player receives two points each time the stone he placed on the free half matches the free half at the other end of the layout. The takes are always located across the main layout.
AND how to decide who won at dominoes and what place did it take on the list? It's very simple, you just need to add the results of all records.
