Excellent video for teaching the very basics of domino play. Exactly what my grandkids were looking for. Thank you for the clear directions and also throwing in some domino "lingo". They picked up what you were laying down. 🦋💗
My grandmother passed away and I got the dominoes I played with her over 30 years ago. I'm trying to teach my five year old how to play with the exact set I played with as a kid, so thank you reminding me how to play. Brings back some memories.
Sorry to hear about your grandmother. I only have one grandparent left myself. It's so important to take advantage of the time we have with the people important to us. Have fun playing bones with your 5 year old, starting them young makes them GREAT players in the future.
Why does the first score only happen on the third play? Why do you sometimes count the middle 6/6 numbers in the score and other times dont? And why towards the end of the game do you stop scoring?
Thanks for the question! If you have double blank, ace blank, and blank deuce in your hand you'd round that up to 5 and give your opponent 5 points. Anything less than 3 total points you give them nadda. Hope this helps
At 6:54 minutes you put down double 3 but no score occurred. How come? I think it has something to do with things adding up to 5. (??) Also, you never explain why the scoring line went angular. I gathered that is equal to five, but why not a vertical line? Thanks for the instruction.
There was just no more opportunities to score with the dominoes that were played. Scoring always keeps going until the agreed upon score is reached which in most games is 150 points.
Let's say I create another "spinner" (i know it's not the spinner. Just the sideways domino play when you have a double). Do I uave to play it sideways. Or can I play it for just one of the sides. Like let's say late game there's a three. And I have a double 3. Do I have to place it in a way that makes that double 3 a 6. Then add the rest of the total. Or can I ay that double 3 in a way that it only counts as 3?
GREAT QUESTION, you always play it like a double because that domino is worth 6 not 3. For example if there is a 4 up on one side of the board and you played it like a 3 the board count would be 7 but when you lay it side ways the board count is 10. Always lay doubles sideways
Thanks for the video. Picked up a vintage set and wanted to learn. Would love to know more on when to score and when not to add up score. I am still unclear there. TIA
Because that double 3/3 isn't the spinner the only double sided domino that can be played on is the the very first one that is played. In this case the 6/6 or double six was the first double played in this hand.
Can you recommend a good set of double 6 dominoes? I'd like to have something high quality with a nice case or something. Just got into playing with my daughter and want something that will last.
Hopefully you can answer this, do you play off any other spinners besides the first? Been re learning with my mom and we never played off the double spinners in the beginnin, only the first spinner after that. If you could elaborate that would be helpful!!
I absolutely can answer that. Nope you do NOT play on any spinner except for the first one that is played. Doesn't matter if the spinner is played as the first domino or if it's played later. The first double played is the only one that can be played off of. Lmk if you have any other questions 🙂
Good question! @2:59 in the video 6/2 was played because the 2/3 was in the same hand. Thinking a few plays ahead the player knows that if they played 6/2 on the 6/6 the other player doesn't have 2/3 that would score them 15 points. And to take it a little further 6/0 wouldn't get played because that is a honey bone and 6/5 wouldn't get played because its a honey bone, so the best play in my opinion is the 6/2. Hope this answers your questions! Keep PLAYING BONES!!!!
Question. At 8.59 there is a double3 and adter that a 3/5. You say player 2 cannot play but he has a 3/2 in hand. Can't he play that on the double three ? Only the first double is a spinner ?
I’ve played a couple hours of dominos against the computer just winging it….. I’ve tried to watch other videos and felt confused and overwhelmed…..THIS IS THE ONLY MAN I’ve seen in here that can logically explain this game to me! Thanks so much brother, I appreciate you! I’m only learning Bones so I can’t complete this challenge in a video game called Red Dead Redemption 2, but I so appreciate this man’s teaching ability! 🫡

Thanks for teaching me how to write down the score. My grandpa used to know how to do it when we played. ❤❤now I know how thanks for the memories

This makes me happy! Trying to keep the game going to the next generation
This is the 4th video I watched. You did the best job on the scoring explanation. Also, nobody else showed the “house.” Thanks!
@@4zengrl thanks 🙏🏾 I appreciate you!
I’m so grateful you included the vernacular😎 so much of bones is havin a good time and the talk is as much as the walk for me
Thanks! That just gave me an idea for a video about Domino lingo! 💡
I hope i can find it.@@playingbones

It was the slap for me!!! Love it😂
Gotta Slap em' 🤣😂😂🤣🤣
And ‘taxi follow that cab’ for me 😂
This was super helpful! Great video!
Thanks that was my goal. Appreciate the comment!
Thanks!
You're Welcome! Thank you 😀
Thanks for the video. I loved playing this game at the Bus Garage with my fellow bus drivers.
Thank you. A little more complicated than I first thought, but not too confusing. I like that there is a bit of thinking involved, and not just luck.
Thank You for this Sir!
Great tutorial! I'm headed to the south and I need to know how to play dominoes
Thanks! I'm glad it helped you. Let me know if you have any other specific questions 🙂Have fun on your trip!
Finally I understood this game! and quickly became one of my favorites! thanks :)
Glad to hear it! Let’s keep playing bones
Where do you get that box. It doesn’t take me to those using your link
So it looks like they just updated their box 🗃️. That is still the same set. I’m actually working on releasing a set myself. Stay tuned!
Why does the first score only happen on the third play? Why do you sometimes count the middle 6/6 numbers in the score and other times dont? And why towards the end of the game do you stop scoring?
When do I not give my opponent any points of what I have left in my hand?
Double blank
And blank ace and blank two right?
Thanks for the question! If you have double blank, ace blank, and blank deuce in your hand you'd round that up to 5 and give your opponent 5 points. Anything less than 3 total points you give them nadda. Hope this helps

@@jonathankerner2094 just went to your time stamp and the board count is 18 at that point. Scoring only happens in multiples of 5. 5,10,15,20,25,30
Great video! Just one question though: why did scoring stop @ 6:50 with that double-trey? Thanks.
There was just no more opportunities to score with the dominoes that were played. Scoring always keeps going until the agreed upon score is reached which in most games is 150 points.

I like how you really slam down those bones
Thank you kind sir!

You’re welcome! What do you mean by “when not to add up score”?
O my, I'll be watching this a few times!
Very clear demonstration, Thanks!
You’re welcome, I’m always looking for content ideas. Lemme know if you want a video on anything specific
Very clear instructions. Thank you
YOU DID AN EXCELLENT EXCELLENT JOB WITH THIS VIDEO. THANKS FOR POSTING THIS.
DIGGIN THE DOMINO SLANG ..
I really appreciate that. Thanks 🙏🏾
Sometimes you count the doubles, other tines you don't?
I would so enjoy playing a game with you. Win or lose it would be a blast. Thanks for showing how to make the playing fun!
I'd love to play a game with you soon! As soon as I'm done cooking up this new content. Road to 1,000 subs 😀
At 7:29 why can’t the player 3 play the 3:2 at the doble 3?
Because that double 3/3 isn't the spinner the only double sided domino that can be played on is the the very first one that is played. In this case the 6/6 or double six was the first double played in this hand.
Thanks@@playingbones in Spain we play it with just two tails, no dominoes can be add to the "spinner" once you slap two by its side

Yeah check these out on Amazon, they are really nice

Fascinating!
That dom smackin and slang talk made my day lmao
Thank you for teaching❤❤
You're welcome 😊, teaching is one of my favorite things to do!
The doubles are always played in the middle?
If you're talking about being played sideways Yep they are.
Great job!
Thanks!

Hello! When the game starts with double 6, why did you then play 6/2?
Good question! @2:59 in the video 6/2 was played because the 2/3 was in the same hand. Thinking a few plays ahead the player knows that if they played 6/2 on the 6/6 the other player doesn't have 2/3 that would score them 15 points. And to take it a little further 6/0 wouldn't get played because that is a honey bone and 6/5 wouldn't get played because its a honey bone, so the best play in my opinion is the 6/2. Hope this answers your questions! Keep PLAYING BONES!!!!
After double 3 you stop scoring? Why?
At what time marker are you askin about?
@@playingbones6:44
Gosh. Look at those hands😍😍😍. Came here to to learn how to play Dominoes but i am swayed with how manly the hands are 😅
Great game! Unfortunately I can't use this version for my 4th/5th graders😂!
Question. At 8.59 there is a double3 and adter that a 3/5. You say player 2 cannot play but he has a 3/2 in hand. Can't he play that on the double three ? Only the first double is a spinner ?
You got it! Only the 1st double played in a spinner
Great video, my boyfriend is showing me how to play bones. Uses the same slang , and still whoops me at it ... But I'm getting better . ❤
Awesome, keep watching and learning then beat the brakes off him LOL!
🤣🤣🤣@@playingbones
Great video
appreciate you!
i trusted this man after the second score slam and trash talk
😂😂😂😂much appreciated
How difficuit is this
not very difficult at all, some players learn to play within one sitting and just get better the more games they play.
It's different than the way we play in Scotland you can't play on the side of double six on all 4 side's
Couldn't understand the marking sheet
Hey bro what score do you goto? I go either 100 or 150.
Online 100, in person 150 alllll daayyyy
@@playingbones just making sure my facts str8
@@ybkscottie9823 Yesssirrrrr
Nice job brother
Thanks! I really appreciate that
Short and sweet
You don't explain the scoring process completely. Under what conditions don't you not score?
Thank you
Welcome!
First thing is to wash them dishes. LOL
Thanks bro
You're welcome! If you like playing dominoes hit that sub button I have sooo much more cool content coming

Thank you very much
🎉
@@abbigalewalters4337 Anytime! I love this for you
Best game ever
It's pretty good isn't it!?
@@playingbones yes Sir
Why doesn’t the first move earn a score?
it can if it amounts to a points/a multiple of 5
Why weren’t the 6 counted when you made that 3,2 5?????
At what time mark in the video?
I always played you could play 4 ways off all doubles ypu didnt address that.
I made a video on this it’s about “spinners”
Hmmmmm intresting
Bro had nice hands
Thank you so much 😀
Racist
Yo my box of bones says ages 6+ …ain’t no fucking way!! Lmao. U explain it so well but the game has plagued my intellectual capacity my whole life 😂
Wdym? I explained the game to my 5 y.o nephew. Mf beated me 8 times
cant play this on a glass table unless youre brave, stupid, or rich haha.
LOL right, it would be like Shaq in 1993
Wash not shake
different slang at different times. "Wash the dishes" and "shake em up" we know what they all mean.
Thanks! 😆
I have the 28 pack of dominos and I'm only 12
I started playing dominoes when I was 7. You’re getting a good start 👍🏾
😅❤🎉
At 5:42 , the scoring makes no sense. Not going to play this game. cya
i'm here for RDR2
Too confusing
You’re just slow
@Taylor-mk7ln I was finna say. Only thing I can say is use normal numbers to take score. Outside that idk what's confusing.
Wash the bones
Yes! Right Away
People who came from Rdr2👇
