Rules of the Game

• Each player selects seven dominos from the top of the face-down pile and holds them in their hand like playing cards.
• The player whose surname begins with a letter closest to the letter A starts and play proceed in a clockwise direction.
• Dominos can be matched exactly, or a name can be matched with a symbol or descriptions, sketches and circuit diagrams can be matched.
• If a player thinks a match is wrong, they can challenge. If the challenger is correct, they give a card from their own hand to the challenged player. If the challenged player is correct, they give a card from their hand to the challenger. Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer and consult their teacher if a consensus is not reached.
• If a player cannot play a domino, they pick up from the face down pile and can play if possible or add it to their hand.
