Shuffle all the dominoes face down. If there are two players, deal 7 dominoes to each player; if there are 3–4 players, deal 5 dominoes to each player. Place the remaining dominoes face down to the side to use during the game. Players must keep their dominoes hidden from the others.
The game starts with the player who has a domino with the same picture on both sides. If no player has such a domino, shuffle and deal the dominoes again.
Play continues clockwise. Place dominoes by matching the pictures. If you do not have a matching domino, draw from the common pile until you find one that matches.
Dominoes with the same picture can be placed side by side. You can play from different ends of the chain.
The winner is the first player to use up all their dominoes. If no one can make a move and there are no dominoes left to draw, the player with the fewest dominoes remaining wins.
