Points Pieces

how do you score points? how do you play pieces exacually in the game dominoes?

in a game with two people playing of dominoes, with a 6 box i believe how do you do the points? also how exacually do you lie the dominoes down like how do you play them basicly what are the rules of dominoes in blonde terms?

In a game with 2 people, each player draws 10 "bones" setting them up in a way the other player cannot see the "spots" or "pips". The other "bones" are set aside and used to draw from if you find you have no matching dominos.The player with the highest double plays first. the next player plays a bone with a matching side (6-4 next to the 6-6 double) against the MIDDLE of the first double, on either side, making a "T". The next player may play on either the tail of the "T", making it longer, or the other side of the double, making a "+" the ends of the double may not be played on until both sides of the double have been played on. You may only play on the ends of the FIRST double. other doubles are played in the same "T" method but you may not play on the ends of them. scoring is accomplished, in the version I play, by adding up the points on the ends of the domino chain and recording them if they add up to a multiple of 5. (example: 6-6 next to 6-3 = 15 points 5-5 next to 5-0 = 10 points 6-4 next to 4-3 = 0 points). The player that runs out of dominos first has "dominoed" (and may say so loudly) the point in the other players "hand" are added up and rounded off to the nearest 5 points and awarded to the player that went out. In cases when the game gets blocked up (ie no one can draw or play) the player with the least amount of points is awarded the points from the other players hand,but not the points in their own hand.
