Dominoes is a classic board game, and when it's made into an HTML5 version, it becomes an engaging, accessible game for players to enjoy directly in their web browsers without requiring additional downloads. The HTML version of Dominoes typically preserves the same core gameplay mechanics but may add extra features like multiplayer options, AI opponents, or unique visual designs. Objective: The goal of Dominoes is to be the first player to reach a certain number of points (or to play all of your dominoes). Points are scored by matching tiles with the same number at the ends of the layout. Dominoes Set: The game typically uses a double-six set of 28 tiles, each tile having two numbers (e.g., 6|3 or 5|5). Players take turns placing their tiles on the board, with matching numbers being placed next to each other. Turn-based Gameplay: Players take turns placing tiles on the board, aiming to match one of their tiles with an exposed end of the tiles already played. If a player can't play any tiles, they must pass their turn, and in some versions, draw a tile from the boneyard (remaining tiles). Winning: The first player to place all their tiles wins the round and earns points based on the number of tiles remaining in their opponents' hands. The game may continue for multiple rounds, with players earning points each time they win. The first player to reach the target score wins the game. Game Variants: Block Dominoes: Each player starts with a hand of dominoes, and players take turns laying tiles. If they cannot play a tile, they pass. The game continues until one player places all their tiles or the game is blocked. Draw Dominoes: Similar to Block Dominoes, but players can draw tiles from the boneyard if they are unable to make a move. The game continues until a player wins or all tiles are drawn. Mexican Train: A variant with additional trains where each player can build their own train, and there is a central train that all players can use.
