something for you ... the whole world is playing domino why not here ?
Ok, I created a game called Open Domino and this is completely open game, with all the stones visible ... it's nothing more or less than a board game ... without a board ...
This game eliminates remembering why the opponent drew some stones and making notes is not necessary ... below are the rules ...
1. We use set 6x6 (basic 28 stones set)
2. Players get 14 stones each (there is no boneyard)
3. They position their stones FACE UP in front of them in TWO rows ... first row of 7 stones closer to the middle of the table, and the second row exactly below the first one ... so we will have two rows of 7 stones each in front of us ... we should put the stones in horizontal position (it looks better) ...
4. The player with 0-0 in his set start the game by taking any stone from his/her FIRST row (closer to the middle of table) and put it in the middlel of the table ...
5. The two open ends are now are available to the second player ... he/she can take any of his/her stone from the FIRST row and put it on the table touching the first stone ... numbers that touch MUST match of course ..
6. Play continue this way until one of the players used all his/her stones or .... untill the game is blocked and no one can continue the game ... when player has no matching stone to play he/she has to pass ...
7. At this point of the game players compare their remaining pips and the player who got less points is the winner ... if the sum is the same it's a draw ...
8. IMPORTANT ... player can play a stone from the second row (closer to the player) ONLY if he/she used a stone from the first row ABOVE the stone he/she want to use to play ...

Sounds easy ? Try this game at home ... I assure you it's a very demanding game and it offers a lot of fun ...
This time it's really fast game ... and only 14 moves at the most ...
Hope we could see its implementation here at brainking ...
Yours,
Andy.
