My grandparents taught me, and I'll teach my daughter. It's a great game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I'd never heard of it. For others in the same boat, here's the Wikipedia article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memebag Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I'd never heard of it. For others in the same boat, here's the Wikipedia article.It's a great game. It's like trick-based card games (like Bridge and Hearts), but made more interesting because either side of a given domino can be its "suit", depending on the context of a hand. For instance, a 6:1 domino is a lousy 6, but a great 1. It takes some skill to figure out the strength of a hand given all of the possible ways it could be played.
