Dominoes

Game cover: Dominoes

Description

Dominoes is a 1-player board game versus the computer for the BBC Micro.

Contains three game variants using dominoes numbered 0 to 6:

  • Disputing Tens: Each player is dealt 16 dominoes face down, with no blanks or doubles. Players take turns turning over a domino, and if they form a pair or a 10 with the dominoes on either end of the row, the player can call points. There are three levels of computer difficulty.

  • Dominoes: Players are dealt 6 to 14 dominoes until a player receives the double 6, which goes first. Players take turns placing pieces in a string, so that each new tile placed must match a number on either end. When no more pieces can be played, the player with the fewest dots in their hand is the winner. Final score is based upon this difference.

  • Threes and Fives: Played the same as regular dominoes, but players score points if the sum of both ends are divisible by 3 or 5 each turn. The score added each turn is this quotient.
