Dominoes: from controls to your first round
Choose a round of Dominoes and settle into its rules. Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Check the rule that explains your first action. Look at what changes after your first action.
