That’s not the question. It’s a question of what you do when you pick from the boneyard and then have a play. I wasn’t sure if you could play subsequent pieces off the boneyard play (double or train piece).


The answer would be no to subsequent pieces of you played with us

Can’t play until your turn comes around again.

You can only make a train once


Is that real? I thought you could make your own train and then create a “Mexican train” if you wanted later on

No. But You run the risk of keeping the points in hand.

Play the one you picked up and be done.

It becomes a train as does your own (if established).

That is a common fight when not agreed to before play is commenced. As you know, folks play following different rules. I prefer to allow playing as many bones as possible is a proper piece is drawn on the first go around. If no money is involved and the game is for fun, why not allow it?

The next time you play, make sure the others understand and agree to that option.

The game has provided much lost sleep over the years.

Been playing all week with the family. Play one domino at a time other than with doubles. I think we finished 2 games. Lots of breaks for meals and kids etc.

Only question we’ve fought over a bit is can you finish with a double? We’ve set on no the person must draw and if they can’t play the round continues.
