The classic draw game
Each player gets seven tiles from a double-six set; the rest form the boneyard. The player with the highest double starts. On your turn, play a tile that matches one of the two open ends of the line. If you can’t, draw from the boneyard until you can – or pass when it’s empty.
The first player to play all their tiles wins the round and scores the pips left in the opponent’s hand. If nobody can move, the game is blocked and the lighter hand wins. Play single rounds or a match to 50 or 100 points.
How to use
- Tap a highlighted tile in your hand to play it.
- If it fits on both ends, choose left or right.
- No matching tile? Tap Draw (or Pass when the boneyard is empty).
- Empty your hand first to win the round.
Ideas for using it
- Tip. get rid of heavy tiles early – they count against you if you lose.
- Tip. keep a variety of numbers so you can always play.
- Match play. first to 100 points over several rounds.
- Kids. matching dots is great for number recognition.
