Classic double-six draw dominoes for two to four players, with computer rivals or friends sharing one screen.
Dominoes on this page is the draw version of the game, using a full double-six box of 28 tiles. Every tile carries two numbers shown as pips, and players take turns adding tiles to one shared line so that touching halves match. The first person to get rid of every tile wins the round.
You can play with two, three or four people. Fill empty seats with computer opponents, or hand a single device around the table.
Rules in brief
A two-player game deals seven tiles each. With three or four players, everyone starts with five. Leftover tiles lie face down as the stock. Whoever holds the highest double opens the line with it. Without any doubles in play, the heaviest tile by pip count leads instead, and the status line tells you which one was used.
On your turn, add a tile that matches either open end. The two big boxes above the line show those end numbers. A 4-2 played against an open 4, for example, turns that end into a 2.
No match in your hand means drawing from the stock until something fits. With the stock used up and nothing playable, your turn is skipped.
The goal
Go out first by playing your last tile. When the stock is empty and every player passes one after another, play is stuck. Then each person adds up the pips left in hand, and the smallest total wins. A tie for smallest makes the round a draw.
Winning moves
- Play doubles early. Since a double offers just one number, it is the hardest tile to place later.
- Get heavy tiles out of your hand. In a blocked game, a 6-5 left behind is far worse than a 1-0.
- Keep a spread of numbers so you have more ways to answer whatever ends show up.
- Notice when an opponent draws. A player who drew while a 3 was open probably has no 3s, and keeping 3s on the ends can stall them.
- Count what has been played. Every number appears on seven tiles, so once most are out, an end with that number is nearly dead.
Good to know
A second mode called Triangles swaps the usual tiles for 56 three-sided pieces. Each corner shows a number from 0 to 5, and they go onto a grid where neighboring corners must show matching numbers. When no piece fits, you may take as many as three from the pile before passing. It makes a nice change once the standard game feels familiar.

Dominoes FAQ
Can I play Dominoes on a phone or Chromebook?
Yes. Every move is a single tap or click on a tile, so it works on phones, tablets, Chromebooks and desktop computers. If you reload the page, the round you were playing is restored from your browser.
How many players can join a game?
Two, three or four. Any seat you do not fill with a person can go to a computer player set to Easy, Medium or Hard. In Same device mode, friends pass one screen around, and each hand stays covered until its owner taps Show my tiles.
How long does a game last?
It is one round only, with no running total across several hands. The round finishes as soon as a player lays their last tile, or when the table gets stuck with no legal move for anyone. That keeps each game fairly short.
Is there help for beginners?
Yes. Settings has an option for move suggestions. When it is on, the game marks which of your tiles fit the line and shows where they can go, which is handy while you learn the matching rule.
