On the second day, allow your baby to cry for five minutes initially, then 10 minutes, and then 12 minutes. On the third day, begin at 10 minutes, then 12 minutes, and then 15 minutes.
If the sum of the exposed ends of the line of dominoes adds up to a multiple of five and/or three then the player scores a number of points based on that multiple, or a single three or five counts as one point. Doubles are laid across the normal line of play so that both numbers are considered exposed.
The double numbers are put down the other way round (long-end to short-end). Blank tiles are just like blanks tiles in scrabble - they can be anything you want! You can put a tile at either side of the domino trail!
Object of the game: Scoring points by laying the dominoes end to end (the touching ends must match: i.e., one's touch one's, two's touch two's, etc.). If the dots on the exposed ends total any multiple of five the player is awarded that number of points.
muggins, also called all fives, domino game similar to the regular drawing game except for the rule that if a player can play a piece that makes the sum of the open-end pips on the layout a multiple of five, he scores that number.
Block or "the Block Game" for two players is the simplest basic domino variant and gives its name to the whole family of 'block games'. It requires a double-six set, from which each player must draw seven tiles; the remainder is not used. The first player sets a tile on the table which starts the line of play.
If a player cannot play, he must pass his turn to the player on the left. The game ends when one player plays out his hand and shouts out "Domino" or when no player can play a piece. If this happens, the game ends in a "block." Players now expose their hands and count up all the pips on their remaining Domino Squares.
If no one is able to make a play, the game ends. In some games byeing tiles from the stock is allowed. In this case, a player draws the number of tiles he is permitted to take according to the rules of that game, adding them to the tiles he is holding in his hand.
If a player does not call "domino" before the tile is laid on the table, and another player says domino after the tile is laid, the first player must pick up an extra domino.

At the end of each hand, the players total the pips on any tiles remaining in their supply, rounded to the nearest multiple of five. These points are then subtracted from each player's score. EXAMPLE: A hand with seven total pips rounds to five, whereas a hand with eight total pips would round to ten.
Pips are small but easily countable items, such as the dots on dominoes and dice, or the symbols on a playing card that denote its suit and value.
If a player is unable to play and the boneyard is empty, the player must simply pass and ensure that a marker is placed upon their train. In the rare case that a player plays out all their dominoes in their first turn, the other players are all allowed to also complete their first turn.
The number of tiles in a set of [n-n] dominoes is given by the formula ((n2 + 3n + 2)/ 2). For example the number tiles in a [18-18] set is (18*18 + 3*18 + 2)/2 = 190.
1. At the start of a two-player game, each draws a hand of seven Dominoes. For three or four players, each draws five Dominoes. Player with the highest Double, or if no Double, the highest Domino, plays first, playing any Domino he wishes from his hand.

The winner is the player who has no tiles left or, if no player managed to go out, the players add up the spots on their remaining dominoes and the winner is the player with the smallest total.
If you didn't tap or announce you're on your final tile, and no one notices, the window for someone to make you draw two tiles expires once the next player plays or draws a tile.
Domino toppling is achieved by standing dominoes on end and arranging them in the desired patterns and sequences. Such a sequence is called a domino run.
Dominoes are laid end to end except doubles which are laid across the line of play. As in "block", you cannot play on the ends of a double once it is placed. Play proceeds clockwise around the table.
Ever wonder why dice (and often dominoes, which are also called “tiles”) are called “bones”? You guessed it! Because they were originally made from the ankle bones of animals. Early civilizations used bones, hooves and horns from animals like sheep or deer.
If a game ends in a block, all the players turn the tiles in their hands faceup, count the pips on each tile, and add them together. The player with the lowest total wins the game and earns the points (1 point per pip) of all the tiles left remaining in his opponents' hands.
