I mean the real way, not just standing them up and knocking them over. I'm not looking for instructions, just wondering if anyone actually plays.

Used to play Mexican Train. Been a few years and I'd have to look it up to remember the details.

Yep. Very simple. I'm sure there's a youtube video on how to play.
Hell, I tried to write out the instructions. Just watch a video.

Don't play standard dominoes, but we play "42" a lot.

There's a few different games. Older people in my family play one. 4 people pair up , sit across from each other. Mix up the dominoes, everyone takes 7 . You bid on what you think you can make, whoever has double 6 gets first bid. Been a while for me .

Yes. We only play “Count” dominos, no beans or trains or double 16s or any of that other stuff. Long time family tradition, Gramps has a dominoes on his headstone.

Love 42 but few people east or north of Texas know how to play . Most play moon..a game divest of strategy. My Okie deer camp plays dominoes and that’s okay.
I think the feed&service station store dominoe tables have disappeared .

America is (supposed to be) a Republic, NOT a democracy. Learn the difference, help end the lie. Fear a government that fears your guns.
