Video Manual: How to Use the Dominos App

How does it Work?

Place tiles which have a number of pips that matches one of the exposed ends of the chain. If you have no such tiles you have to draw from the boneyard one tile at a time until new one may be played.

After placement player will get points if the sum of pips at the exposed ends of the chain is a multiple of five (5,10,15,20,etc).

At the end of the round player also scores points for all the pips remaining in the opponent's hand rounded to the nearest multiple of five.

Winner is the first player who reach the score of 150 points.

    Domino at Large!

    This game's App really isn't one that I have difficulties trying to play alone,insofar this is the best! Kudos to Developer(s). Ex Animo, FABi. 2)My opponent do not square off to “5’s” in order to make 5,10,15,or 25 points, always disregard this action, is like the computer wants me to win! 3)As of June 2019 still do not square off to 5’s tile in order to score 10,15,20’s. If one end is double tens and the other end is blank then the system square off to domino blank instead to go to 5s and gets 15 points. It is a trick to attract more into this app or what? I feel not excited winning so many! ␀Each time this “APP” disregard to square off to make 5,10,15,20,25 even 30 points. I will make the App wins by default until we get boring doing so.

    It’s a good game of dominoes.

    The starting hand size, difficulty, and winning point score can all be changed. The board also looks pretty good. I don’t know what else you’d be looking for in a dominoes game. That aside, I found a neat little thing I’m trying to report. The game displays that it’s a ‘draw’ if no one can play anymore pieces and resets the board so that you can continue getting more points. I just had a draw put me at the goal point total. The result was that it displayed it was a draw, started the new hand, and then announced me the winner once I put a piece down. So, in that moment before I put the piece down, I both was and was not the winner. I thought that was neat.

    Good game, realistic, moves fast, fun! I also must correct a review I made earlier. I said that sometimes the app does not add the ends correctly. Well my error! I discovered that one of the grandkids turned on the “count the double” block and thus the app now counts the first double plus’s the ends. Sorry for the mistake programmers. My error! But the app still does not declare a winner If the winner results from a draw. The next hand must start and the first stone is played. Then the app declares a winner. This is only a nascence. Not a problem. Great game!! 5 stars. 👏👏👏👏😃😃

    Current version not working properly

    Since loading this version, it is not dinging on multiples of 5 consistently. For example, a 5, 3 and 2 should ding and win points. It isn't just that combination either. I have 2 phones and the other has not been updated to this release, and it won't be until this one is updated to a release that works. I'm just glad it works on at least one device because I'm addicted! It's too messed up on the other phone to even bother with it anymore.

    It is ok, really.

    Where is the option for an original double nine, Chinese, Cuban versions with ten draw per Player and no stealing or Puertorican double six competition style 7 draw 4 player versions. Who came up with this addition as you place system instead of the tally of unplayed pieces left in hand after a winner? It is ok for a two player game but it is not a match for a gregarious 4 player match with the other competition styles. And what is it with the propensity of the game knowing the piece I have the fewest of for opening the game?

    Awesome Dominoe Game

    Extremely baseline basics and simple to use. As a Domonologist, I’ll be referring my students to this app for simple training. Only one thing I noticed odd was how the spinner was used to count incorrectly in my opinion. According to my rules once the spinner has dominoes on each end, you cannot continue to score using the spinner’s exposed side. Hopefully you understand what I’m trying to communicate?

    Two things First, it seems like the person who dominos, there is a default setting that directs that person to automatically begin play for the next hand or round. There is no default for alternate play to begin each round. It seems like it gives extra credit for the player who continually is given a “down”. I think this gives that player an extra 5 or 10 points for each time they are given an extra down. Over the course of a match, this could be the difference in winning or losing. Secondly, I,ve always understood the player who blocks play would automatically win that round and receive all the points left in the opponents hand. This was the bonus for blocking the game. I’ve always saw this as the strategy and reward you got for taking the risk to block the game. As it is in this game it turns out to be a “draw”, which leaves no incentive to try and block play.

    Not Overly Competitive

    I like playing dominos on this free app. Most times I'm able to win some very close games and there have been times when the computer has scored "0" at the end of the game. I've noticed there have been times when I will play the first tile and then the computer plays its first tile. Let's say I played a double four. The computer plays a 4/3 tile. One or two plays later the computer plays a 4/2 tile and it hasn't drawn any from the boneyard. Why did it not play the 4/2 tile and score 10 points? That's my only gripe about this game. Otherwise, I enjoy it very much.

    Rigged hands and errors

    The computer plays with its hand and the bone yard’s. It has double blank 7 outta 10 times. When the cpu pulls from the boneyard it usually pulls a scoring bone on the first try. Sometimes the cpu scores even when there’s no multiple of five on the board. The computer doesn’t use strategy and often chooses to play against its own hand. The difficulty setting for this domino engine on the highest level reflects how much the cpu will use the boneyard and its hand to win. The higher the difficulty the more the cpu will use the boneyard hand for its own. On locked hands the cpu doesn’t always reward the lowest hand with the points from the opponents hand. When starting a hand after a locked/drawn hand the highest double is supposed to start the hand immediately following. This doesn’t happen in this program.

    Playing for about a week.. my review

    Fun, fast.. but rules are different.. after the last domino is thrown the winning player does not get the points of the reminder of the bones in the losers hand. (Is that just how we play in the ghetto? Maybe our way is wrong) also.. when dropping your dominoes make sure you are holding it RIGHT above where you want it to go.. more than once my dominoes went to another spot, the first two times was like ok, I’ll be more careful.. but it happened a couple more times and that was annoying, that could be my error not hovering DIRECTLY over the right spot? Idk.. just FYI when you play, pay attention to where you let go of the domino at

    Cool but rigged

    This game is cool. I’ve played around 1000 games or so over the years. I have noticed that it’s definitely rigged. For example: sometimes I will choose to place a piece in a certain spot but the computer will make me play somewhere else so that it can make a play. This changes the entire flow of the round and often results in me losing my “domino” allowing the computer to play first in the next round. Also when there’s no play for me I’ll often have to dig through the entire graveyard to find a piece while the computer will find exactly the piece it needs to score amongst the 15 other “random” pieces. All in all a good time waster but it’s definitely set up.



  • By Thiiejhtfihibsdh

    Absolutely Not fair play

    For starters let’s call out the high propensity for the app to pull the winning tile from the pile. In over 90% of the occurrences, if the app “opponent” needs a tile the very first one they pull is exactly what it needed. In the remaining 10%, the vast majority of times the app opponent pulls 5 tiles or less. However, if you need a tile the odds are that you will be pulling a multitude of tiles with the minority, 10% or less, of pulling the tile you need on the first draw. This is a very good game but if the algorithm would be tweaked to be more truly random and therefore more towards fair play, I would give it more stars

    TTYApp!! SERIOUS UPDATE (❤️) NEEDED!!🤨🤨

    C’MON, now! I DO STILL ❤️ this lovely game with the FABulous graphics,but there IS *STILL* ☝️a conundrum! This game is too great to have been so completely abandoned! NO UPDATES... FOR THREE YEARS?? With...many reported problems still a concern, something needs to be done, or “get out of the kitchen”, so to speak! DEVELOPER....DO YOU *REALLY* WANT TO BE KNOWN AS, “THAT GUY”?? Anyhoo, please (SERIOUSLY!) consider putting the settings buttons off-screen! As I’ve said before, because of those 4, very badly placed settings buttons,I've missed out on getting points (& therefore, losing times I should have scored,& games I should have WON!), because I couldn't get the cursor to hit the domino, instead of a settings button,once the dominoes got close to them. Also,please school this app to RESPECT the word, RANDOM!! Most recently, sometimes a domino will only materialize as a black space between visible dominoes,& has sometimes cheated me out of points,the computer adding MY points to their side! Thus...your *creation* is spiraling,& in apparent breakdown mode. Plus, bring on a BLAZE OF BRIGHT CONFETTI, as a respite from the balloons. Please...work the problem! TY!!!❤️

    Read the rules does any of your programmers actually know how to play the game

    Learn the rules sorry I payed for it what a rip off You can have double six and the computer can lay down a double one. This is not the rules of the game. They need to fix this Now there keeping the points from the first double that is laid. Even if it is covered over. This has all happened since I purchased the The game keeps leading with whatever even when you have a higher double I hate spending money and getting ripped off fix the game so the lead is correct I played 20 games and only 3 games was I able to finish without the game cheating double 3 don't get play before double 5 It’s a shame that a 4 year old knows 5 is higher than a 4 yet your programmers can’t seem to figure it out. Maybe it’s time to not ignore this message. Double 5 plays before double 4. Just ask your 4 year old. I just want to play one game without the game cheating Don’t you have at least one programmer who knows which numbers are larger Do you have 2nd graders programming your games even a dog can tell that there is more of one item than another. 6 is always more that 5 yet you have a double six and your idiot programmers lead a double 5. By the way do you even look at your reviews. Back in the 1800s your programmers would have been shot. In the 2000s they should be terminated.
