-
- The game can only be played with one player and the computer.
- The game rules are based on the standard game of dominos
- as defined by the book 'According TO Hoyle', by
- Richard L. Frey and published by Ballantine Books.
-
- Each player starts the game with seven dominos. The
- player with the highest doublet starts the game. The
- opponent plays by selecting a domino which matches the
- previously played domino. The player and computer alternate
- turns until one's dominos are exhausted or until neither
- player can move.
-
- If unable to play in turn, dominos are drawn automatically
- from the boneyard until able to play. If the boneyard
- is exhausted and still unable to play, the turn passes.
-
- The first to play all his dominos wins the game. Sometimes
- neither player can play and the boneyard is empty, the game
- ends in a block. The game is then won by having the
- most points (highest score). The score is determined by
- totalling the number of domino dots in the opponents hand.
-
- The game gives the human player the option of cheating
- (peeking in the opponents hand and what's in the boneyard).
- It would be disgraceful if someone would use this option to
- beat a dumb machine like the Amiga at such a simple game.
- But as luck will have it, Murphy's Law enters the picture:
- If something can go wrong, it probably will.
