Introducing Dominoes, How to Play Dominoes

The most common way to start a domino game.

[@rervar]

This is super helpful. I tried other videos but they just talked/yapped the whole time about the pieces and never explained the game itself

[@shobogenzo]

I appreciate the friendly explanation, Travis. Got a set as a birthday gift this year, playing dominoes with my wife. This helps get us started. Thanks.

[@fredthedogg]

Been a long while since I watched a good game, my Mom aunt and grandma played EVERY friday night... fun times.

Thank you Travis for teaching and taking the time for us. I've never played dominoes before but many of my on-line friends do and it's a social thing. So thank you very much for all your efforts you are appreciated!

[@leslieharvath6682]

Thank you, Mr. Newsome, for this excellent intro. I was unsure how to do the multiples of 5, so your explanation was very helpful. Looking forward to viewing your other videos.

Thank you for posting these videos. I recently learned how to play and I want to get better. Also, I admire your patience for dealing with the racist trolls on your videos.

[@KerrTel]

I appreciate the video for what it is,Travis. ignore the haters.

[@bestrnlynzeep]

Oh! I finally get it. I'm 52 and haven't ever played but have older friend who do and don't want to come across looking like an idiot (which happens too often anyway) Congrats on all your accomplishments

[@jessee7334]

If your friend is cool he/she won't make you feel bad. Games are supposed to be fun :)

My 3 year old is learning to play dominos and liked the video!

[@kevinnotkevin4967]

I love dominoes. I need to watch more. I'm just starting out.

[@brianrohde9203]

Thank you for an excellent job of demonstrating how to begin the game.

[@barbarabadham1536]

Thanks for the video, Travis! I'm going to Cuba soon where playing dominoes is super popular and I want to learn at least the basics before I go.

[@Caveman007freelancer]

I’m Cuban myself and never seen dominoes been played like this! It’s crazy.

[@corporal1107]

Thank you sir. I love the game and will be teaching my grand kids how to play. I play for the fun and its a great game to introduce to kids.

[@nopalich]

Travis, thank you. Love to learn more.

[@derricklawson3600]

Just a beginner sounds fun

[@Davinia77]

You explained it perfectly thank you so much!

[@HundredHours]

what if you played a 6/5 in the beginning to connect with the spinner?

[@outlawshinemaker]

Travis ..more videos on playing bones please !!! thanks for this !

[@OrchidKiller]

Nicely explained, thanks!

[@matthewjeffries4621]

Thx for the great vid bud!

[@vidaholmesshelli4925]

That's the way my Dad and I use to play. Thanks

[@JohnDoe-ki6fm]

What is the organization that is sponsoring/hosting domino world championships?

[@prelynmax]

So... how many bones do you draw in the beginning of the game? Seven?

[@treetoptreetop2730]

Very informative.

[@debrachorr5674]

Good explaining

[@indio1320021]

Champ back just went to little havana miami to break some backs in dominoes but they close dominoe park upon my arrival

[@SuperWmunoz]

so are u just trying to get maximum points or is there a number u are trying to reach?

[@MOsTarot777]

Thank you for the videos Dominoes is an elegant ancient game probably older than Chess which I also play please ignore stupidity...all you can do with it

[@kimbaanderson5564]

Thank you for the helpful video! My 9yo son is learning to play and I couldn't remember.

[@gameslightbox506]

Great tutorial. Now check out the BrightTop Lite playing surface that lets you play dominoes at night.

[@camhoff5]

excellent

[@regularguy-e4c]

at the 1:40 mark where that 6 end of the spinner was still open, that wouldnt make the score a 16, cause i see you still put the 6 0 on it afterwards?

[@jgg5065]

I have the same question.

[@regularguy-e4c]

Jorge Gonzalez ive found out the rules of the game so i can help you. it would not because the only parts that are counted as points are the pieces attached to the spinners. once both sides have a domino on them, the double six is canceled out because it is no longer an end. the only way that part of the double six spinner would become an end you would score is if you attached another 6 and some number domino onto it

[@92620T]

After the sides are played on the double 6, why aren't the end 6's counted anymore?

[@majestixcarclub]

Thanks, positive video...

[@cathybartch]

Thank you! This helps us get started.

[@santinapay]

Hi Travis can i still play Dominoes even im missing one piece?

[@sliced_monkey1244]

If your here coz rdr2 howdy

[@chickenscratch69]

oh okay thanks, lol I was confused there. Thanks for the instructional video. It enabled a buddy and I hours of fun on a bored night with only a box of dominoes. I being the victor by the way hahaha. Thanks again.

[@TimProvencio]

For someone that is clueless about dominoes, I found your video rather helpful. Thank you very much. I'll check out your other sites also.

[@kevinjones2145]

Explained clearly!

[@MZ6061]

Thanks for the video.

[@billiebailey7578]

When was the game made?

[@rocky7983]

Do you gave a relative name Rufus > served in army during 1876-82 as infantry ?

[@ZeroTSONG]

At 1:54 you put the double 5 down. Is that play worth 15 pts (2+3+2*5), since it's sideways as a double the same way the spinner was initially 12 pts (2*6)?

[@dawnebrown1785]

I think that's correct, based on other vids I've seen. It's the total of the end points that are multiples of 5.

[@Diabolik771]

What's "arclumalate"?

[@BGKO1992]

but when do u slam the hell out of the table ?

[@Lovemyfriends1]

I play dominoes everyday either at home or work playing 1 on 1 is way more fun and challenging and awsome but I need more guidance because I haven't reached my full potential!!!

[@S.l.o.w.cooker350]

Basic? What do I do with blanks

[@evdoxoszel]

So a spinner is Just the first double domino that someone plays ? The followings doubles are not spinners ... Correct ?

[@pokeman9267]

yea right your a 3 time champion!

[@seanicusvideo]

I think the point is that you must score a multiple of five. that's what limits your play.

[@champagneoden7960]

My student and I are playing this game and he loves it!

[@dtmrn1]

Thanks I knew nothing and will check next video

[@augmonaco2920]

Thank you Mr. Newsome for the videos. I am embarrassed and ashamed of the moronic comments from 'the peanut gallery.' Every ethnic group has it's share of idiots. The less educated without a job, living at home, exhibit their IQ (or lack of) online as a form of entertainment. Josh, Orson, William S., " get a life....maybe start off with a responsible job."

[@Guns_and_Saints]

2:05 Iit's another DOUBLE here, t's not a DOUBLE, it's just a DOUBLE. lmao. You should've said "This is not a playing double, it's just a double."

[@Tiffany-gf8uq]

All of you petty ppl need to check yourselves. It was an error ! So what. This guy is a champion AND is training champions! Won his furst chamionship in 1978! Again in 1999, then as he stated "3x champion", his last win 2003. Get over yourselves n stop complaining!

[@AClockWorkOrange76]

Stfu. Go talk to yourself...and by that, I mean pray. LMGDAO!!!!

[@Tiffany-gf8uq]

Awww.. Poor fool... You have nothing better to do than start arguments in tutorial comment threads. Ah well, maybe 2016 will bring you more of a life.

[@AClockWorkOrange76]

Go pray...lmao!!

[@chungkim381]

Can you paint it

[@allinonedirection1949]

can we Play like set domino By 1 by 1

[@GVonzo]

I get the concept of just matching dots.. Just don't understand the points and how they add up.

[@mnkkaiser3838]

I don't understand why you in your other videos talk about starting the game with other dominoes than doubles.. like for instance start with a 4-6 if it's my "down"? Doesn't the game start with the highest double?

[@mnkkaiser3838]

Travis Newsome Thanks.. I feel like there is the most fun in playing Domino go round then. Is there any other variations?

[@lavar103]

I just wanna slam down my pieces and yell out bumboclaat!

[@marcopolo1984]

[@jonathanadams9898]

i am interested in learning how to play

[@vince1634]

then you can also play the blank 5 because then you'll score 20 points

[@AccurateLedgers]

you don't explain (at least in the beginning) why you count some sides, but not all sides...

[@MrCnote361]

I'm playin with four people and I have a team mate. I've having trouble with scoring or setting my partner up so he can score. Also being able ti block.

[@dylancranfill9067]

I also live in Kansas city Missouri

[@tommyrold355]

You might be good at the game, but explaining it... damn bro..

[@tanequarainey3077]

thank you so much

[@Blackrew]

You need to explain the point system so people don't go find a tutorial that does (like I did).

[@seanicusvideo]

all while pointing to the same piece "here's another double here, this is not a double, it's just a double." WTF!!!!!!!

[@khanbibishamroonkhan2498]

domino is a nice game

[@pjhickman10]

"This is not a double here, it's just a double." ...

[@MrDominoKC]

my book is available at www.dominoes-book.com

[@viewmaster2027]

The British isles doesn't used the points system when playing dominoes. We play straight thinkers game, not to get some easy points....🤔

[@viewmaster2027]

+Travis Newsome Blocking the game to win is a copped out move... Play the game the simply without adding points and so the real intellectuals can read the game on their own, in hopes of finding which dominoes are in your opponents hand... Genius! Your way is Wrong! The game was never created for points system, only for plain intelligent moves to suppress your opponents....🤔

[@BANANHEST]

But hey, why does the 3 time champions experience matter anyways, right?

lol yeah 2:05, that confused me for a second :) I'm guessing he meant "It's not a spinner, it's just a double" just a slip of the tongue I think?
