A game called dominoes is the perfect way to spend an afternoon. There’s something for everyone in this tile-based family. The rectangular tiles are marked on one or both ends with a number of spots. Players have to match up pairs of tiles to win the game. In this article, we will look at the All-Fives and Five-Up sets. In addition, we’ll cover the Double-6 set. Hopefully, you’ll find some helpful hints.
All-Fives
The All-Fives domino game is also known as Muggins. The game is usually played with domino sets found in most stores. You can play with two or four players. John McLeod describes the game as “a good two-player game.”
Five-Up
A game of Five-Up domino is similar to its cousin All-Fives. A player attaches a Domino to one end of each pair of dominoes and scores points when a set of dominoes is divisible by five or three. While the game is similar to Fives, it is different enough to warrant its own strategy. Five-Up was made popular in California during the 1950s by Dominic C. Armanino, who also wrote books based on the game.
Double-6
The Double-6 domino set contains 28 durable ivory plastic Dominoes with colored dots. They stack neatly in a reusable collector’s tin and can be played by two to four players at a time. Regardless of the size of your table, this set will make the game a blast! And the double-six set will last for years! Read on to find out more! (If you haven’t already bought one!)
Double-6 set
The Double-6 set of dominoes is a game of strategy and chance. You can play most traditional domino games with the double-six set. Unlike other versions of the game, the double-six set has no “natural” or “bad” tiles, so players can choose whichever one suits them better. It also lets you experiment with other variations of the game. Here’s how you can play with this popular set:
Chinese dominoes
The game of Chinese dominoes was invented around 1120 AD, and is said to have been created by Hung Ming as a way to entertain soldiers during night watches. However, the game has many other origins, including reports from Keung T’ai Kung and Fan Lai. According to Dr. Gustar Schlegel, a prominent Chinese historian, the game was first created in 1120 AD. Dominoes were locked in the imperial treasury, but were first used during the reign of Kao-Tsung.
Scoring games with dominoes
When playing scoring games with dominoes, players must count the pips on their remaining tiles to calculate their score. If their score is less than the score of the other player, they are said to have stitched up the ends. Otherwise, they score the difference between the two totals. A player may score double if he or she holds a double during the losing game. However, the rules of scoring games with dominoes vary by variant.
