How to Play
Grind Domino is based on the rules and scoring of 'All Fives' aka 'Muggins'. Each player draws 7 dominoes from the Boneyard. The objective of the game is to be the first player to play all of their dominoes to the playfield. Points are awarded for scores that add up to 5. For example the Double 5 domino played on an empty table would give the player 10 points. First player to 150 points wins the game.
Points are also scored when a player goes out, i.e. clears their entire stack, and the score points difference of the opponents remaining dominoes.
If a player is unable to play, then they must continue to draw from the Boneyard until they get a playable domino.
The ultimate objective of Dominoes is to be the best player in the neighborhood. As opponents are defeated, new players will come to the table to challenge the player. Each opponent will have an increasing amount of cash to wager against the player.
Play smart, play fast, watch your opponent's play style and taunts and do whatever you can to avoid the Boneyard!

Gameplay

A: Anytime the domino chain on the table adds up to a multiple of 5, you receive that amount of points. If you play a 5-5 (10 dots) on a blank table, you would score 10 points. Whenever the ends of ALL the chains (East, West, North, South) add up to a multiple of 5, you score points.
Q: How many points do I score at each opportunity?
A: You score the amount of points that the chain ends add up to. For example if there was the following chain 4-1 to 3-6 the end of the chain adds up to 10 (4+6) and you would receive 10 points.
Q: What happens to the domino's that are left in my hand if my opponent Domino's?
A: All remaining domino's in your hand when your opponent domino's are added up and rounded up or down to multiples of 5 and added to their score. If you domino, you earn the remaining points in your opponents hand. It's a good idea to Domino.

Q: Who plays the first Domino to start a game?
