Starting a Game:
Every Domino game takes place at a table and you can start two different ways:
1. Opening a new table with your own specific features (stake / points / timer / privacy option):
2. Joining at an opponents table:
3. Open the Table Window:
Players: This field represents the amount of ¨Players¨ that can enter a specific game.
Points: This determines the specific amount of points needed to win the game ¨Point Total¨.
Game: This means the type of game - which Domino set you wish to use double six or double nine.
Bones: Domino pieces are sometimes called ¨bones¨ because they were originally made of animal bones or ivory. Today they are more commonly made out of plastic, ceramic, stone, or tiles. The Bones field within the PlayFast software is the total of bones each player can use starting each round.
* Special Note If the "Draw 9 bones" is not selected, by default the game will give 7 bones to each player.
Move Timer: This field refers to the amount of time each player has for their turn. If the player doesn't make a move within the specified time, he will be declared defeated.
Amount: This is the stake each player needs to bet or risk in order to participate in a specific game.
Rotate the Down: During a regular game the player that starts each round is the one that won the last one or had less points in his bones. If the "Rotate the Down" is selected, the turns will be determined based on a clockwise rotation, thus giving each player an equal opportunity to start a new round.
Privacy: It is possible to see other players' tables and other players can watch your games unless you mark the "Private Game" option. If you select ¨Private Game¨only you and your opponent are able to view the game.
Point Price: Determines the amount of money will be awaded per points over at the end of the match. Whoever has less points in his bones will pay this amount based on the ¨point price¨.
