Electrum Dominoes Description |
|
| |
Electrum Dominoes is a variation of All Fives, using a 28-piece set consisting of one bone with each possible combination of pips from 0-0 through 6-6. All Fives is also known as Five-Up or Sniff.
If you like Draw or Block domino games, you can play them too. Electrum Dominoes has ten different settings that you can use to change the rules to suit your preferences.
The traditional appearance of an All Fives game is something like this.
Your hand appears in the foreground, your opponent’s at the back, the boneyard to one side, and the played bones in the middle. Handheld devices are not suitable for this type of display; their screens are much too small. Even if the boneyard and opponents hand were not shown, the possible expansion of the players hand and the meanderings of the played bones would require so much scrolling as to render the game unplayable. So we came up with a better way.
