Dominoes Online

About the game

Dominoes — the classic double-six game plus the street-style "Goat" (Kozyol) in one app. Play dominoes against the computer, for two players, or online with a friend via a room code.

Classic dominoes: 7 tiles each, 14 in the boneyard. Match open ends, draw when stuck and be first to 100 points; if nobody can move it is a blocked game.

Goat 2v2: you and your partner against two opponents, 7 tiles each, no boneyard, and 1-1 opens the match. The losing team collects penalty points — reach 101 and you are the goat. Your partner and opponents are bots.

How to play

This is dominoes in two flavors: the classic double-six set of 28 tiles and the Russian street game known as Goat. In classic mode it's you against the computer, one on one. Each side gets 7 tiles and the other 14 go into the boneyard. Play a tile on either end of the line when the numbers match; doubles go crosswise. Nothing fits? Draw from the boneyard. Rounds keep coming until someone reaches 100 points.

Goat is a four-player team game: you and a partner across the table take on two opponents, all three of them bots. There's no boneyard, so if you can't match an end you pass, and the first round always opens with the 1-1. When someone goes out, the losing team scores the pips left in their hands as penalty points. The first team to hit 101 is the goat.

Want a human opponent? Create a room and send a friend the code or link, or wait for a random player to join. Online games are played on a clock, and you can ask for a rematch when it's over.

Tips

Dump heavy tiles like 6-6 and 5-6 early. If everyone gets stuck and the game is blocked, the lighter hand wins.
Keep both ends alive. A tile that fits either end gives you options on your next turn as well.
Count what's on the table. Every number appears on exactly seven tiles, so once six of them are out, that end is all but dead.
Watch the boneyard: when the bot draws, it has neither number showing on the ends. Try to put those numbers back out.
Don't sit on your doubles. A double carries a single number, and if that number gets shut out you're stuck holding all its pips.
In Goat, a pass from your partner tells you something: they have none of the open numbers, so switch the ends to something else.
Hints are limited, so save them for tricky spots. You can earn another by watching an ad.

FAQ

How do you play Goat dominoes?

Pick Goat 2v2 in the menu. Four players sit at the table, with your partner across from you. Everyone gets 7 tiles, there's no boneyard, and whoever holds the 1-1 opens the first round. The team of whoever goes out first wins the round, and the other team takes penalty points for the tiles still in their hands. Reach 101 and your team is the goat.

What happens when a dominoes game gets blocked?

If no one can move and there's nothing left to draw, the round ends early. In classic mode the player with the lighter hand scores; in Goat the team holding the heavier tiles takes the penalty.

Can I play dominoes online against real people?

Yes. Tap Play a friend online and create a room, then share the code or link. You can also wait for a random opponent. Each player only sees their own tiles.

Can two people play on one device?

No, there's no pass-and-play mode. For a two-player game, play the computer or a friend online, each on their own phone or PC; the match goes to 100 points.
