Bringing back the game of dominoes
I've resurrected the game of dominoes, so here is the breakdown of the strategy.
Basic Dominoes Strategy
Keep Your Hand Varied
You don’t always have much choice in which dominoes you hold in your hand. But you should attempt to keep as many different pip values as possible in your hand. Doing so will give you the greatest amount of flexibility when your turn comes around.
Play Doubles When You Can
Because doubles can be played only on one number instead of two, they’re twice as difficult to get rid of as nondouble tiles. Never pass up the opportunity to play a double when you can.
Don’t Hold High-Value Tiles
A dominoes game can end at any moment, so try not to hold onto tiles that have a large number of pips, as those tiles will give you a much higher score if your opponent goes out. For example, it’s far better to have a one-blank (worth only 1 point) than a five-six (worth 11 points) at the end of a game.
Stitch Up the Ends
Whenever possible, use your turn to make both ends of a chain have the same pip value, which can limit your opponents’ ability to play any tiles. This strategy, called stitching up, can be a strong defensive move.
