Play Draw Dominoes online
Dominoes is a game of matching numbers and choosing what to leave for your next turn. Each rectangular tile has two ends, marked with zero to six pips. Players add tiles to a shared chain, matching the number at one of its two open ends.
This version uses a double-six set of 28 unique tiles and the Draw Dominoes rules below. It is built for two human players: no account, no download, just a table and an invitation to play. If you enjoy a little planning between turns, open a free Dominoes game and deal your first hand.

How to play: the rules at this table
- Deal seven tiles each. The other 14 tiles stay face down in the boneyard.
- Open with the highest double. The player holding the highest double among the two hands starts by playing it. If neither player has a double, the highest-total tile starts; its higher end breaks a tie. The game highlights the required opening tile.
- Match an open end. Select a highlighted tile in your hand, then choose Left or Right. The game turns the tile to match the chain. A blank matches another blank.
- Draw if you cannot play. Take one tile at a time from the boneyard until you find a match. You must play a matching tile when you have one.
- Pass when the boneyard is empty. Passing is available only when you have no matching tile and there are no tiles left to draw.
Doubles do not make new branches. They sit across the chain, but the table always has just two open ends.
Use a mouse or touchscreen to select a tile and an end. The hand scrolls sideways when you have many tiles; the chain fits the table as it grows. Buttons and playable tiles also support keyboard focus.
Winning the round
Play your last tile
The first player to empty their hand wins. Their points for the round are the total pips left in the opponent’s hand.
When nobody can move
If both players pass in succession, the table is blocked. The player with fewer pips left wins the difference between the two totals. Equal totals mean a draw. The result shows both pip totals.
Deal again
Choose “Play again” for another round. In an online room, both players must agree before a fresh deal replaces the current round. This is a single-round Draw Dominoes game: it does not keep a running match score or use All Fives scoring.
A few small advantages
Keep your options open
A hand with several different numbers gives you more ways to respond. Before playing a tile, look at the numbers you will still hold and the ends you will leave on the table.
Notice when your friend draws
Drawing tells you that your opponent could not match either open end at that moment. They may find a useful tile in the boneyard, but remembering those moments can still help you choose your next move.
Think about the pips you keep
High-value tiles become costly if the round ends while you still hold them. Balance removing those tiles with keeping enough variety to avoid getting stuck yourself.
Dominoes: questions before the first tile
Is Dominoes free to play?
Yes. Local games and private online rooms are free, with no account required.
Can I play with a friend by link?
Yes. Press “Play with a friend” and send the invitation link to your opponent. The first friend to open it takes the second seat.
Can my opponent see my tiles?
Online, your opponent sees only the number of tiles in your hand until the round ends. On one device, the next hand stays hidden until the next player reveals it; pass the device first.
Which Dominoes rules are used?
Double-six Draw Dominoes for two players: seven tiles each, highest double opens, draw until you can play, and pass only when the boneyard is empty. The full rules and scoring are described above and in the game’s help window.
Can I play against the computer?
This version is for two people, on a shared device or in a private online room.
Will my game be saved?
Local turns save in your browser when site storage is available. Online games are saved on the server. Return using the same browser and invitation link to keep your seat; inactive rooms expire after seven days.
Your next move is waiting.
A friend, a few tiles, and time for a little competition.
