Spinners A spinner is a double which can be played on all four sides. Depending on the rules of the game being played, the double played as the lead is the only spinner of the game; or, every double played throughout the game is a spinner. If the double played is not a spinner, it may be played on only two sides. Scoring In some domino games, part of the score is obtained from the total number of pips at the ends of the line of play as the game progresses.
If only one domino has been played, both ends of that domino are ends of the line of play. Thus, if a tile is played, the count would be If two dominoes have been played, the count depends on whether both tiles are with the line of play or one tile is with and the other tile is across the line of play.
The matching halves of each of the two dominoes would be joined, end to end, with the open ends being 3 and 1. The double tile, , would be played across the line of play, and both halves of the double would be considered ends of the line of play. Given the last example, if a tile is now played on the , assuming it is not a spinner, the is no longer an end for the purpose of counting. See the example below. If the is not a spinner in this case, the is not an end.
In some domino games, a score is made only when the count of the ends of the line of play are a multiple of 5 or a multiple of 3, for example. Another scoring method used in many domino games is to take the losing players' total number of pips by counting the pips on the tiles left in their hands at the end of a hand or the game and then adding that number to the winner's score. Here is a rule variation that players may agree to employ: When counting the pips on the tiles left in the losers' hands at the end of a hand or the game, count only one end of a double i.
End of the Game Some domino games end once a certain number of hands have been played or a player or team makes the necessary points to win. For many other domino games, the object of the game is to be the first player or team to dispose of all the dominoes in your hand.
These domino games end when a player has played all the dominoes in his hand before the other players and announces, "Domino. This is called a blocked game, and, in case the game is blocked and no one is able to make another play, the game would end.
Too Many Tiles Are Drawn If a player draws more tiles for his hand than he is entitled to, it is called an overdraw. Once an overdraw has been discovered, the player to the right of the overdrawn hand takes the extra dominoes from the overdrawn hand, without looking at them, and returns them to the stock. The deck should then be reshuffled before anyone else draws his hand. Here is a rule variation that players may agree to employ: Expose the overdrawn tiles to all players before returning them to the stock and then reshuffling the deck.
Not Enough Tiles Are Drawn If a player draws fewer tiles for his hand than he is entitled to, it is called an underdraw. Once an underdraw has been discovered, he draws the necessary tiles from the stock to complete his hand. If a player misplays for example, joins a 2 to a 3 and it is discovered before the next player makes his play, he must restore the misplayed tile to his hand and play a correct tile.
If a player misplays and no one notices until after the next play has been made, the wrong tile is considered played and cannot be replaced with the correct tile.
If a score is realized on the undiscovered misplay, the player is allowed to keep it. If it is not a misplay, once a tile is played and a player takes his hand off the tile, it may not be taken up by the player.
If a player plays out of turn and it is discovered before the next player makes his play, he must recall his tile. The Mexican Train is always public, and there can only be one Mexican Train built within each round. Other General Rules: Players must always play if they have an eligible tile. Mexican Train is a game played with dominoes. You may remove the marker from your personal train after playing on it.
Double Dominoes A double tile is placed sideways on the train see picture. When you play a double, you must play an additional tile that is not a double unless the double is your last domino, in which case the round ends.
A double-nine set contains 55 dominoes, with the numbers on the tiles ranging from 0 or blank to 9. In a double-nine set, there are ten suits blank, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 , each with ten members.
Once the first tile has been played, the round continues clockwise to the player on the left. The next player has to match one of their pieces to one side of the starting double domino so that they are perpendicular. If no match can be made, the player must draw a tile from the boneyard.

The winner is the player who has no tiles left or, if no player managed to go out, the players add up the spots on their remaining dominoes and the winner is the player with the smallest total. Each loser subtracts the winner's spot total which is zero if the winner went out from their spot total, rounds the result to the nearest multiple of five and adds this quantity to the score of the winner.
So the winner gains 15 extra points. The first player to reach a score of wins the match.
