Muggins is All Fives dominoes with a table full of characters who will not stop talking. Score by making the open ends add up to a multiple of five, build off the spinner, and race to the target score against bots who heckle, cheer and lose their minds over every play. PLAY THE YAPPY BOTS Seven opponents, each with their own voice, stage and attitude: Grady in his night house, Robloy under the Vegas lights, Clay in the saloon, Dr. Bob in his biology lab, Blake by the drainage ditch, Horse out in the pasture, and GG Kenny on the saxophone. Every character reacts to the game as it happens, with real lip-synced commentary, and has something to say about every stage. MULTIPLAYER, FREE • Pass & Play: share one device. Tiles stay hidden between turns. • Online with Game Center: play friends at your own pace, rematch with a tap, pick the stage, and keep a head-to-head record. BOSSA NOVA MODE Turn off the yapping and play GG Kenny across nine venues, from a Paris coffee shop to Shirogane Blue Pond, Stockholm in summer and Buenos Aires' Plaza de Mayo, each with an original bossa nova soundtrack. Stamp your Night Out passport as you go. STORY MODE Escape a fever dream in 1990s East Texas, one opponent at a time. YOUR TABLE, YOUR WAY • 23 stages to play on • Four domino styles: Modern Flat, Classic, Chunky Bone, and Ebony & Brass • Large Print mode for bigger tiles and text • A tutorial taught by Horse BUY THE BOTS One purchase unlocks the extra bot-driven modes: • 1 Player Multi Mode: play against a full table of bots, up to six at once • 2 Player Multi Mode: play with a friend and a table full of bots • Spectator Bones: sit back and watch the bots yap and battle Unplug from reality and plug in to the bones.
