No, you can not already hear from our yards of joyful shouts: "Take! Fish!" Do not knock the bones on the table, and the "goats" are not the same. But, surprisingly, the dominoe still lives, only its habitat is a computer. How to play dominoes with him? Yes, in practice, just like before ...

Dominoes. Definition

This is a logical game, where they build a successive chain of knuckles ("bones", "stones"), which touch each other in halves with the same number of points (points).

Bones

The domino is a rectangular slab with the correct geometry - its length is equal to the width, multiplied by two. That is, they are two connected squares, each of which draws points (points): from zero to six. This is a kind of flat reincarnation of the dice.

In the usual set of dominoes, twenty-eight stones. It is made up of combinations with repetitions of two by seven numbers (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). But there are special sets in which the knuckles have glasses up to nine or more. In general, the number of bones in the set is calculated by the formula (n + 1) x (n + 2): 2, where n is the highest number of points. That is, for a common set, the formula looks like this: (6 + 1) x (6 + 2): 2 = 28.

Make bones from simple or ivory bones (hence the name), metal, plastic, wood.

History of dominoes

From India and China in the eighteenth century the game was brought to Italy. It has changed a little and has become very firmly established in monasteries, where it was forbidden to play card games, so the monk Domino invented this game (legend).

There is another option because of white dots on a black background, the game began to be called a domino, like a suit of Dominican monks.

From lyrical reasoning let's move on to practice and figure out how to play dominoes.

General rules

They can play two, three and four people. The rules of the game in dominoes are different in that each player gets seven bones on his hands, if there are more players - five.

The remaining bones (points down) are laid aside - this is a "reserve" or "bazaar." To it address, when on hands there is no necessary element for a course.

The participant starts the game, which has the smallest double (a bone with the same points 0-0, 1-1, 2-2, etc.). If it is not present at anybody, they search for a bone with the smallest value, for example, 0-1 or 1-2.

They go clockwise in turns. The player does not have the right to skip a move or go to the "bazaar" if he has a matching stone in his hands. For one move, you can lay out only one bone. The move is missed, "knocked" if the stones of the "bazaar" are over, but there is no need.

The end of the game round comes when one player ends all bones - he leaves. The rest count the points from the remaining stones.

"Fish" is a situation where everyone still has stones, and there are no more moves - blocking the game. Sometimes, when all combinations of combinations of one number are laid out, for example, 5, that is, 5-4, 5-0, 3-5, 5-2, 5-5 bones are already lying on the table, and one end of the chain ends with a stone 5-1, And the second player put a stone 6-5. In this situation, the person who put the last knuckle, "fish" (6-5), is called a "fisherman". All the points of the participants of the game are recorded on the account of the "fisherman". He starts the next tour. They play up to one hundred, one hundred one, one hundred and twenty-five, two hundred.

These are the general rules of playing dominoes. It is very flexible, so there are many varieties. And by and large, every company that spreads knuckles on the table creates its own individual game, with its own rules. But there are some modifications that have become firmly established in our country, for example, the "goat".

• Start recording yourself points can only be with twenty-five, dialed at a time;

• Which ended in a zero-zero contender, the winner, such a rally is called a "bald goat";
• If the last take is six or six, then the player is also considered the winner, provided that at least one loser has twenty-five points or more left on his hands, if not, then his next stop is mandatory;
• If only zero-zero bone is left on the hands - this is twenty-five points, only six or six are fifty points, only zero-zero and six-six-seventy-five;
• If the "fisherman" has less stones left than twenty-five points, and the enemy has more, then in this round the "fisherman" wins, and his next rally is "one hundred";
• If from three attempts the "eggs" were not played, that is, they did not start the next match with takes from one-one to three-three, these "eggs" were "rotten";
• If in a doubles game one comes out victorious against a pair of rivals, he is a "general".
