Domino Rumor Game

"Domino Rumor" is a 4 player domino game played with a set of two to six dominoes. Each player receives 6 tiles at the beginning of each round. The remaining 4 chips are set aside and are not used in the game. Each round begins with a double lead in the center. The player who receives the double lead plays it first, and then the other players take turns turning clockwise. If no player receives a double-double in this round, the hand is dealt again. < Each player has a personal train that starts at one corner of the leading double (4 trains total for all players). A player can play the appropriate tile on their personal train. If a player cannot play a tile on his personal train, the next player may play an additional tile with the current player's train before playing on his personal train. This move is called "splashing out", as this game is called. If a player plays a tile on the previous player's train, but cannot play a tile on his own train, the next player may play a tile on the current player's train. The first player to play all his tiles wins the round. If the game is blocked, the player with the least number of pips in his hand wins. < If at the end of a round in a game of Domino Rumor, two games end with the same score, neither player receives any point. The winner of the round assesses the difference between his/her hand and the other players' hands.
