Time

Goal
Go out or keep low pips
Objective
Play all your dominoes first. If the line gets blocked, the player with the fewest pips left wins.
Setup
Two players get 7 tiles each. Three or four players get 5 tiles each. The remaining tiles form the boneyard. The player with the highest double starts by setting it down. If nobody holds a double, the player with the heaviest tile starts with that tile.
Your Turn
1
Play a tile on the left or right open end. One side of your tile must match that end's pip count.
2
If you cannot play, draw from the boneyard.
3
If you cannot play and the boneyard is empty, pass.
Winning
The round ends immediately when a player plays their last tile. It also ends if every player passes in a row. In a blocked round, count the pips left in each hand.
Strategy Tips
💡
Play high-pip tiles early, keep flexible numbers in hand, and watch which ends opponents keep drawing on.
