Simple Dominoes - it free is an app for Dominoes fans! With it, you can have endless fun whenever and wherever you want. Simple Dominoes has 3 different modes. Choose your favorite Dominoes mode: Draw, Block and All Fives. - Draw: Simple, relax, play your tiles on both sides of the board. You only need to pick up the tile you have one of the two ends already on the board. - Block your turn's dominoes if you run out of options (while you can choose an extra domino from the boneyard in the previous mode). - All Fives: A little more challenging. On each turn, you need to add up all the ends of the board and count the number of pips on them. If it's a multiple of five, you score those points. A little tricky at first, but you'll get it fast! Win as many times as possible and compete in the leaderboard with other players! Customize the visual style of the dominoes and the background as you wish! A domino is a small tile that represents the roll of two dice. The tile, commonly called a bone, is rectangular with a line down the center. Each end of the tile contains a number. In the most popular domino set, the double-six, the numbers vary from 0 (or blank) to 6. This produces 28 unique tiles, as shown in the diagram on the right. A common domino size is about 2 inches long, 1 inch wide, and 3/8 inch thick - small enough to be held comfortably in the hand, but large enough to be easily manipulated, and thick enough to be able to be stood on edge. Dominoes are referred to by the number of dots (or pips) on each end, with the lower number usually listed first. Thus, a tile with a 2 on one end and a 5 on the other is referred to as a "2-5". A tile with the same number on both ends is called a "double" (or doublet), so a "6-6" is referred to as "double-six". A double-six is the "heaviest" domino; a double-blank is the "lightest" domino value. Download Simple Dominoes and play it for free now!

Your hand grows from three cards to thirteen across eleven rounds, and the lowest total score wins. That one shifting rule changes everything. A hand that is dead weight in round 4 becomes your best play by round 10. Thirteen rewards players who adapt, not just players who draw well.
