Learn how to play Simple Domino and master its engaging gameplay. The game begins by dealing seven domino tiles to each player. On your turn, strategically drag and drop a tile from your hand to connect it to an open end on the board. The tile's number must match the one it's connecting to.

🎯 Objectives

The primary objective in this domino game is to achieve victory by being the first player to empty your hand of all tiles. Your short-term goal is to strategically place your dominoes to block your opponent and control the board's open ends. Success hinges on smart tile management, anticipating your AI rival's moves, and avoiding being forced to draw extra tiles. Plan your moves wisely to outmaneuver the crafty computer and claim your win.

💡 Pro Tips

🎪 Master the board by paying close attention to the numbers that are currently in play. This will help you deduce which tiles your AI opponent is likely holding, allowing you to block their potential moves.
⚡ Prioritize playing your tiles with duplicate numbers first. This strategy helps to reduce your overall pip count and prevents you from getting stuck with high-value tiles if the game ends in a block.
💰 If you have a choice, always try to place a tile that opens a new number on the board. This creates more future options for you and can complicate your opponent's strategy.
🏆 To consistently defeat higher AI difficulties, focus on controlling both ends of the board. Forcing the game to be played on your terms limits the AI's options and increases your chances of going out first.
