BG Draw Dominoes is as you would expect another traditional game from Ian Humphries bought to your computer. This time the random and well known game of dominoes.

Having existed since the 11th century in China, Dominoes made it to Europe in the 17th century, and have been a staple game ever since (particularly in pubs). The Draw dominoes varient is likely the most well known and easiest to play and has rules somewhat similar to the card game of Uno.

For those who've not played before, dominoes are small rectangular tyles similar to playing cards, often referd to as bones. Each dominoe has a number of pips on either end ranging from none (or a blank), to six, thus each dominoe is referd to by it's two end numbers, eg six five, four three, blank two etc. Of course some dominoes are doubles like the blank blank or double six.

In draw dominoes, Each player takes 7 dominoes from the set and tries to get rid of them all by placing them on the table in turn matching up the ends. For example the game starts with the double six, one player might then add a six three, so the first player would then need to find a dominoe with a six or a three at the end. If either player can't go it's time to go and search the boneyard for a fresh dominoe. As in Uno and similar games, the first player to run out of bones wins, while the loser must count up his/her pips and score them negatively.
