Domino Sniff Game

The game "Domino Sniff" is a member of the "Fives" family of games. This game is very similar to Dominoes, in which players try to match all winning ends of the layout in their turn, so that its total sum is a multiple of five, which the player gets at once. The game has a different scoring mechanism. The first move or lead is determined by lot. In subsequent rounds, the player who dominated the previous round starts first. If the game was blocked in the previous round, the lead is again determined by toss. A turn can be started from any tile, and then subsequent tiles can be played on the open ends of the layout. In a game of Domino Sniff, the first take is used as a sniffer (or spinner), and tiles may be placed on all four edges of it. If a player is unable to play, he/she must take money from the equestrian skeleton until he/she has a playable chip or the equestrian warehouse has no chips left. If a player draws a tile that is immediately playable, it must be played. If a player fails to cast a tile and cannot retrieve money from the burial, he simply passes the turn to the next player. Each time a player plays a tile, all the open ends of the layout are added up, and if the total number is a multiple of five (5, 10, etc.). Then the player immediately scores that total. "Domino Sniff" is worth the total number of pips if 2 or less of its sides are covered. If 3 sides are covered, the points on the open end count. Double Sniffs without inhalation are worth the number of pips at the end of the hand in the layout, otherwise zero will be played on both sides. The round ends if the player has played all his tiles. The round may also end if the game is blocked, meaning that neither player can play a tile.
