Dominoes: from controls to your first round
Open Dominoes, check the instructions and begin a round. Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Check the rule that explains your first action. Look at what changes after your first action.
Double-six draw dominoes, local two players with shared-screen visible hands.
Try a more deliberate round
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Refer to the controls when needed.
Understand the aim
Empty your hand, or hold fewer pips when both players are blocked. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

An important reminder
You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. Check the rule before repeating the action. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
