About

A clean game of draw dominoes. The highest double opens, tiles must match one of the line's two open ends, and if you can't play you draw from the boneyard. Press 1 or 3 to choose which end, or 5 to let the game pick the end that fits; playable tiles light up in your hand. The CPU dumps its heaviest tiles first. Going out scores the pips left in your opponent's hand; a blocked game goes to the lighter hand.

Objective: Play all your dominoes before the CPU does.
