- Dominoes are played with a Double-Six pack of 28 tiles called "BONES" with
- 'PIPS" (or spots) ranging from 0/0 (blank/blank) to 6/6. Players are dealt
- 7 bones with the rest of the pack being called the BONEYARD. You will be
- playing against the Computer
-
- The primary objective of Dominoes is to be the first to play all his/her
- tiles and go out or have the lowest pip count left in their hand when play
- ends. You and the Computer in turn lay tiles in a long chain, matching
- adjacent ends.
-
- The large Dominoe in the display shows both ends of the chain. You need
- merely key in the numbers of the tile you wish to play and it will be
- placed for you (DO NOT PRESS ENTER!)
-
- Your Dominoes will be displayed along the bottom of the screen. The highest
- double (6/6,5/5, etc) sets first and the computer will determine that
- automatically and make the move without your intervention

- The last 2 bones in the BoneYard are FROZEN (can not be played). If You or the
- Computer can not play a tile then a tile must be drawn from the BoneYard until
- a tile is drawn that can be played or until all allowable tiles have been
- depleted from the BoneYard. If the BoneYard is frozen you must (P)ass to the
- Computer. The Computer will likewise (P)ass to you if it has no moves to make.
- Two (2) consecutive (P)asses ends the game. This will result in a TIE game and
- the one with the HIGEST pip count wins the difference between the pip count in
- both hands.
-
- Points won by you, the player, are ADDED to your Hi-Score, while points won by
- the Computer are DEDUCTED from your Hi-Score.
