and for those who are curious ... it's my creation ... I doubt anyone played this kind of game using domino tiles ... the placement of tiles is very unusual ... please read on.

RULES OF KARGUL ...

Game name: Kargul in Polish language is someone who is a bad neighbor, someone who throws garbage over the fence to make his neighbor more angry ...

Set: 6x6, 28 tiles set ...

Beginning: Every player gets 11 tiles and keeps them visible only for himself ... (6 tiles remain unknown for the players)

First set: players decide who plays first and any tile can be played as a starter ...

Layout: players place their tiles vertically, one by one ... horizontal bar on domino tile plays a role of a fence ... and that means all the numbers below the fence belong the the player that is closer to them ... below is an example of the first tile played ... I am sitting closer to number 5 and my opponent to number 6 ... and this situation means that I got -5 points (minus) and my opponent -6 points (minus) ... and every time a tile is placed, someone get negative points (with the exception of a ZERO) ...

6 

5

Matching tiles: Players in their turns HAVE to match either of the numbers of the last placed tiles ... in our example (which I started placing 5-6) my opponent can put vertically any tile that touches mine 5-6 with numbers 6 and 5 on them ... let's continue with our example ... my opponent places 6-3 and the picture looks like:

6 6

5 3

and it means I got -3 points (minus) that add to my previous negative score ... he was a bad neighbor ... he was kargul ... now I place 3-5 matching one of the numbers and my neighbor get -5 points that add to his previous score ... and the layout so far looks like :

6 6 5

5 3 3

But this is not the end of possible plays ... look what happens when (it's his turn now) he has no tile to match number 5 ... he has to match number 3 (assuming he has one of course) and he CREATES negative load for himself ... let's say he has a tile that matches number 3 on the table ... and it's 2-3 adding 2 negative points to his score ...

6 6 5 2

5 3 3 3 (with score 8:13 for me)

Did you get the idea ? It's a funny game and with plenty of occasions for strategic thinking ... easy to play, already tested ... be kargul in this game but not in real life ... who got less points after all the tiles are placed or when the game is blocked is the winner, when both get the same score, the game is draw ... when a player passes, the other player continues the play, and so on ...

Hope you like it ... Andy.
