Muggins is All Fives dominoes at a table full of characters who will not stop talking, and now up to four people can sit down together. Score when the open ends add up to a multiple of five, build off the spinner, and race to the target against friends, family, or bots who heckle, cheer, celebrate and sulk over every play. Prefer Draw or Block? Those are in here too. FOUR AT THE TABLE • Pass & Play for 2, 3 or 4 people on one iPhone or iPad. Tiles stay hidden between turns. • Online with Game Center: invite up to three friends, play at your own pace, and chat and send emotes across the table. • Teams: two against two, partners sit across. • Empty seats? Fill them with bots. FACE TO FACE WITH THE CAST Clay in his saloon, Dr. Bob in his lab, Robloy under the Vegas lights, Blake at the Night House, and GG Kenny on the saxophone. Every opponent has their own voice, their own painted room that moves, and something to say about every play. Score 15+ on them and watch them take it personally. DAILY PUZZLE A new board every day: four bones, one best play. Then keep going with 1,000 practice puzzles graded A to F. THE WEEKLY TABLE Every week, everyone sits down to the same deal against the same opponent at the Community Hall. Post your score on the leaderboard and win domino sets. Free. TOURNAMENT Ten players, single elimination, around the parks from Miami to Manhattan: Hialeah, José Martí Park, Ybor City, Humboldt Park and Inwood, with the final at Domino Park in Little Havana. Win new domino sets along the way. MERCADOS MODE Dinner and dominoes: up to five at a taqueria table, with food on the cloth and a waiter on his rounds. Free. GLASS BRIDGE MODE Five at a glass table on a bridge over the abyss, a roaring crowd on both sides. Every round, whoever hasn't scored when everyone else has drops through the glass. Last one standing, or first to 100, wins. Pass & Play for up to five, or online with friends. PARTY TABLE Put the iPad in the middle as the table, and up to four phones become your hands. Play Dominoes, with a bot in an empty seat, or Glass Bridge. Free. BOSSA NOVA MODE Play GG Kenny around the world, from a Paris coffee shop to Rio, Tokyo, Stockholm in summer and Buenos Aires, each with its own bossa nova soundtrack. MAKE YOUR OWN Paint yourself into the game as a voiced character, describe a room and play in it, or design your own domino set from your colours or a photo. VIP LOUNGE PASS Three new lounges every month, every lounge so far, and as many bots as you like in 1 Player Multi and at the Party Table. Everyone gets one free game a week in that month's lounges, and members vote every month on what we build next. Yearly or monthly, auto-renewing until cancelled in your Apple ID settings. The Tournament, characters, stages and domino sets are sold separately. YOUR TABLE, YOUR WAY • Face2Face or the classic Board view • Domino styles to earn and collect • Large Print mode for bigger tiles and text • Easy to Expert, Game Speed, Hints, and a tutorial at Clay's saloon • Game Center achievements, leaderboards, and stats against every bot No ads. No coins. No energy timers. Just the bones. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://www.mugginsapp.com/privacy
