Advantages: Game can last as long as you want
Disadvantages: Some may find it a bit boring
Dominoes is an enjoyable game where each round doesn't take very long but you can play as many rounds as you like, or up to a certain score.
We play it by placing all dominoes face down, then each player takes seven at random. The player with the double six, or next highest double goes first. Then each player in turn must place a domino so that one side matches up to the number at one end of the row of played dominoes.If you can't go you pick a domino from the face down down supply, which you can then play if you are able. Otherwise play passes to the next player.
You can play a few rounds just to see who wins those rounds by being the first to get rid of all their dominoes. Or you can play by score. When one player has placed all of their dominoes the remaining players count up the dots on their remaining dominoes and score that amount. The winner then is the person with the lowest score after a certain length of time or number of rounds. The beauty of the game, therefore, is that it can last as long or as short as you want it to.
On another note when you get bored of playing the game you can use them to make domino rallies, a line of dominoes on their ends arranged so when you push the end one it pushes each down in turn. If you have enough dominoes you can make some quite elaborate courses, with splits and obstacles. You can even buy domino rally sets with lots more dominoes, but without spots that come with obstacles. However, I find it more fun to make my own!
Summary: Competitive or Fun!
