partner. If the sum is not a multiple
of FIVE the count is the nearest multi
pie. For instance. If there are twenty
three spots on the dominoes the count
is twenty-five. If twenty-five the
count is twenty.
If the game is blocked" so that no
one can play after all the dominoes
are drawn the player having the small
est total on his dominoes takes the
sum of all the others. or rather the
multiple of five nearest II.
Partners should aim to help each
other in their play.
Remember, the first player has the
first chance to go out. If the first play
er is your partner you should open
some suit that will help him or her to
go out. If not, try to "block" the one
who is first. so he or she viii have to
draw.
If a person "revokes." that is. fails
to play. when he or she has a domino

A game is $50 points. The side or

Here are few simple suggestions
which may help a beginner, though
they are not infallible:
DO not open new suites unless forced
TO. It Increases the chances Of YOU
: opponent to play if you do.
. DO not play on suits in which yol
! are strong, except to take a count o
| because you have to. If you are stroni
in any suit it is probable your adver
sary is weak on that suit.
( Do not set a double-six unless yo
8 have a strong six hand, including tn
, six three. If you set the double si
] and the next player has the six-thre
he scores 10, which is a big count.
D If the double-six is on one end
y not play a four on the other unles
T forced to. for it gives the next playe
e an opportunity to play either the dou
{ ble-four and count 20 or the four-thre
and count Is. Both are big counts.
o The two-three is a good "set" c
= first play), if you have nothing bette
Il as it is impossible for the next play,
It TO score on it.
Y DO not play on your own "sniff' unit
o you are forced to, except to take
count.
II Keep track of the number of ca,
n suit that has been played and is
your hand. There are seven of ca,
lie and it is obvious that the more tn
n have been played the less the chan
le your opponent has of having any
le play.
" Remember the fves and blanks
the "snin' are valuable as counters.
