Dominoes Gameplay
- The dominoes/playing cards are shuffled in a manner that they are face down placed in circles using the flat part of the hand. It generates a sound that is quite familiar even today. Every player draws six dominoes and then puts them in such a way that other players aren’t able to view the value of the cards.
- The traditional method used by English pubs of accomplishing the task is face down cards aligned in 2 rows of 3 in a way that all of 6 tickets can be easily picked using both hands, viewed and returned while keeping another hand free.
- A newbie can position them on edge easily in a row, and rest dominoes are given the name – “sleeping” tiles.
- The person who holds the double six will start the play. The tile should be double tile so that the game can get the first turn. In case not a single player holds the double, then the reshuffling of pipes is done and then re-drawn.
