How to Play 3D Object Dominoes

To play 3D object dominoes, follow these simple steps.

  1. Split the dominoes evenly between the players.
  2. Choose a player to lay the first domino.
  3. Player 1 lays a domino on the playing surface.
  4. Player 2 places a matching domino at either end of the domino on the playing surface. If they do not have a match, they must await their next turn.
  5. Play continues in this manner until one player has no dominoes left!

Note: Due to the variety of match options, not all dominoes may be placed in the line in any one game.
