Match the tiles — the first to finish wins

The video

The video is narrated and captioned in Hebrew; the transcript below is in English.

Dominoes

Dominoes inside the room, for 2 to 4 players: you lay tiles that match the ends of the line. Each player sees only their own tiles, and whoever lays all their tiles first wins.

How to start

  1. In a game room: tap "New table", choose Dominoes and invite up to three players from the room. In a regular room, whoever manages the game starts it.
  2. Each invited player taps "I'll play" — they have 60 seconds. Once everyone has accepted, the server draws the seating order and who starts.

How to play

  1. With two players, each gets 7 tiles; with three or four, 5 each. The rest go to the boneyard.
  2. On your turn, lay a tile with a side that matches one of the ends: "On the left end" or "On the right end".
  3. No matching tile? Tap "Draw from the boneyard" until you have a move. When the boneyard is empty: "Pass".
  4. Each turn has one minute.
