Game Board, 112 Dominoes, 140 Chips, 4 Domino Trays

Object

Dominate the Game Board by conquering and claiming the most territories.

Set-Up

  • Open up the Game Board and place it in the center of the playing area where everybody can reach it.
  • Place all of the Dominoes, face down, off to the side of the Game Board and shuffle them around.
  • Everybody take a Domino Tray and all of its color-matching chips.
  • Everybody take 7 Dominoes and place them in your Tray, so only you can see them.

Play

  • Take turns. On a turn you must place one Domino from your tray on the Game Board. It must be placed between two squares where the number of pips (dots) on both ends of the Domino match the number of pips on the squares it touches.
  • At the end of your turn, take one Domino from the side to replenish your Tray back to seven.
  • As the game progresses and you play a Domino that conquers (seals off) a territory, place one of your chips in that territory to claim it, thus ending your turn.
  • Sometimes the placement of a single Domino conquers two territories simultaneously. When this happens, you may claim both territories by placing a chip in each one.
  • You must play one (and only one) Domino on each turn. You may not pass your turn. You may not play an extra domino after conquering territory.

Winning

When all of the Dominoes have been played, the game is over. Everybody count the number of territories you claimed. If you dominate the Game Board, you win!
