It is, after all, a national pasttime.Ī set of dominoes makes for a great souvenir or gift for that friend who loves games (you know the one).Math games have always been part of our math time. You can imagine how fascinating it is to watch these games, and try to decipher what’s really going on! Any argument or joke could be part of their secret code of signals. Teammates might communicate through a particular way of slamming a tile down on the table or laughing. It is even said that every action and word relates to the game somehow. Nothing can distract them from the complicated mental juggling of tile-counting, people-reading and anticipating upcoming moves. The dominoes table is sociable but good players possess an intense focus. Pairs can amass hundreds of hours of experience reading each other’s body language, so that they can interpret every little facial tick or gesture. ![]() In this way, though the games are not alike, you can imagine dominoes as the Dominican equivalent of poker.Ĭlose dominoes teammates have played together for many years, sometimes decades. While games are mostly friendly, many dominoes players will play for money and some can get pretty competitive. Understanding the nuances of dominoes takes years of observation and practice. Tranqua.Īs you can see, there is a lot going on, and I’m only just grasping the very basics. You need to be alert to chances to lock the game at a time that is most favourable for your team. Whoever places the game-winning tile has the chance to ‘lock’ the game, blocking remaining tiles so that no one else can play another move. When a game of dominoes is nearing its end, timing is everything. If their teammate is trying to help them continue, you have to block their moves, too. If an opponent is on a roll with one suit, you can kill or block their streak by playing a suit you think might force them to pass their go. Hopefully, your teammate will notice you doing this and will play to help you keep going on that suit. If you have many tiles of the same suit, you should keep putting down as many of them as you can. Teams work together to out suits that are favourable to them, and block the other team from getting rid of their tiles.Ī key dominoes strategy in Dominican play is ‘ Repite, mata, y tranqua’ = ‘Repeat, kill, lock’. They count how many of each suit has been played, and use other players’ passes to figure out which tiles are likely still in the pick-up pile. The best players keep track of every move and pass, and learn new information about their fellow players’ hands with every turn. Some tiles overlap suits, so 1-3 is also 3-1, but they don’t repeat as there’s only one of each combination in a set of dominoes. Your schoolroom maths is right, 7 x 7 = 49 and not 28, like the number of dominoes tiles. In dominoes, there are 7 suits: ones, twos, threes, fours, fives, sixes, and blanks. If you’ve heard of card counting, a similar concept is done with tiles. ![]() The intense stand-offs that ensue are no child’s play. The skill comes in when players become aware of more than just what is on the board and in their hand. I do know that dominoes games here are usually played to 200, 250 or 500 points. Players use several different complex systems to count up the score. Scores are added up at the end of each round using the unplayed tiles leftover. If you can’t play, you pick up a face-down tile from the pile. Some people play that you can’t play off a double. a tile with the same dot pattern on both ends, 4-4, 2-2), you place the tile across the line of dominoes to form a T shape. So, you form a chain of tiles, like 3-2, 2-4, 4-1, 1-0, etc. Your new tile has to match dots with an open space on at least one end. You do this by matching dot patterns to place the dominoes end to end on the board.ĭominoes games usually have four players, split into two teams of two.Ī new turn means you can place a new tile down on the board. The aim of the game is to be the first to put down all the tiles in your hand onto the board. Each tile is white and has a configurations of black dots at each end, 1-6 dots, like a die, or a blank. But the basics are the same.Ī dominoes set has 28 tiles, called fichas in Spanish. The Rulesĭominican rules differ slightly from international dominoes rules. It is a game of intense strategy, fast-thinking moves, and expert bluffs. In the Dominican Republic, dominoes is taken to a new level. That’s right, that game with the double-ended dotted tiles that you played as a kid! During the early afternoon, many Dominicans love nothing more than to sit in the shade with friends and beer, playing dominoes. |
