Dominoes... do you play?

wayner123 · 09-09-2010, 02:03 PM

Just putting up a thread here to see how many dominoes (bones) aficionado's we may have on here. I play when I can, and I am not that great at it. But it's a great cigar smoking game.

I mostly play "all fives" as that is what I grew up learning and playing. What variation(s) do you all play? Anyone got a custom set??

I used to play Texas 42 a lot (http://www.texas42.net/42links.html). But since I left Intel in the 90s, I haven't found 3 other people to play with. Sigh.

I haven't played in years. Should pick a set up so my wife and I can play while I'm smoking.

This is the only domino game I know. My wife's from Texas and when I was down visiting my in-laws they tought me. It is fun, but usually with 4+ players. Never tried 1 on 1. Is there a good domino game for 1 on 1? I would like to find one my wife and I can play together and enjoy while smoking in our heated sunroom this winter.

1 on 1 a good game is "all fives" (also called Muggins)

I played a lot during high school, Cuban style, now not so much. I kinda wanna get a table though, it's pretty fun.

IBQTEE1 · 09-09-2010, 03:24 PM

Does Mexican train dominoes count?

akakirby · 09-09-2010, 03:37 PM

Play every week at the Winston's cigar shop. Not sure what version we play is called. We did learn a new style of Russian play that we have been playing lately.

Blueface · 09-09-2010, 03:41 PM

Being Cuban, it is as apple pie and baseball to Americans. However, we play with double nine.

I partook in some dominoes with this guy, Ron1YY (where's he been?), MadeinDade (him too...?) and a couple others when I was in WPB area. Aside from that, we visit friends in Aruba and it's about as common there as PR and Cuba. Now all I have to do is learn their language(s) so I can figure out what the hell they are saying...

I used to play at work years ago but only up to double six. Those guys down in S. Florida are in a whole other league.

I like the Chicken Kickers from Dominos

Blueface · 09-09-2010, 05:23 PM

Good ole fashioned throwdown at my place.

Two tables, side by side.

CasaDooley · 09-09-2010, 11:03 PM

Started playing this summer, out on the patio, in the evenings with the wife, a drink and a cigar. Usual game was draw with double fifteen.

T.G · 09-09-2010, 11:22 PM

No, but I've been known to buy their pizza once in awhile now that they've started using real cheese.

darkleeroy · 09-09-2010, 11:53 PM

For a while I thought Cuban dominoes were the only way to play, unless you were training them to push them over.

area51 · 09-10-2010, 01:47 AM

Anyone want to play on yahoo?

wayner123 · 09-10-2010, 06:44 AM
