• All tiles are dealt equally to four players; each getting 7 tiles at the beginning of each round.
• The very first round is started/led by the player who gets [6-6]. Subsequent round is started by the player sitting right to the lead player of current round. In subsequent rounds players can start with any tile.
• There is no spinner in Partnership Dominoes game so a double can only be played at two ends.
• Players take turn anti-clockwise to play a matching domino. If a player can not play, then he/she simply passes turn to the next player.
• A player must play if a move is possible.
• The round ends if a player has played all of his/her tiles. Round can also end if the game is blocked which means no tile can be played by any of the players.
• Round is won by the team of first player who played all his/her tiles. Blocked rounds are won by the team with lower pip count.
