How to Play Domino Dreams

Domino Dreams is a fun and relaxing game that’s perfect for anyone who enjoys classic dominoes or solitaire. It’s a simple game to get the hang of, but there are a few things to keep in mind to help you get started. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the basics of how to play Domino Dreams.

The main goal in Domino Dreams is to clear all the dominoes from the board. You do this by matching a domino from your hand to one of the open ends of the dominoes already on the board. An open end is a domino that doesn't have another domino connected to it. If you don't have a matching domino, you'll have to draw a new one from the boneyard.

Here's the short answer for how to play: Match dominoes from your hand to the open ends of the dominoes on the board. If you can't make a move, you have to draw a new domino. The first person to get rid of all their dominoes wins the round.

Getting Started

To begin, you’ll be dealt a hand of dominoes. The remaining dominoes form the boneyard, which is where you'll draw from if you can't make a move. The player with the highest double domino usually goes first. If no one has a double, the player with the domino that has the highest number of pips (the dots) starts.

I remember when I first started playing, I was a little confused about which dominoes I could play. It took me a few rounds to realize that you can only play on the ends of the domino chain. Once I got the hang of that, the game became much easier and a lot more fun.

Making a Move

On your turn, you need to find a domino in your hand that matches one of the open ends on the board. For example, if one of the open ends is a 6, you need to play a domino from your hand that has a 6 on it. Once you play your domino, it becomes the new open end.

Sometimes you'll get a "double" domino, which has the same number of pips on both ends. When you play a double, you also get to play another domino right away. This can be a really great way to get rid of a lot of dominoes at once. I always get a little thrill when I can play a double and then another domino right after.

What if You Can't Make a Move?

If you can't play any of the dominoes in your hand, you have to draw a new one from the boneyard. If the new domino can be played, you can play it right away. If not, your turn ends, and you have to wait for your next turn to try again.

Winning the Game

The first player to get rid of all their dominoes wins the round. The other players then have to add up the pips on the dominoes they have left in their hands. These points are given to the winner. The game usually continues until one player reaches a certain number of points, like 100 or 150.
