Domino Bergen

Matching numbers at both exposed ends brings the score in Domino Bergen. Bonus points go to the round winner, pushing the race toward 15 total points. The first deal gives each player a hand of tiles, with the rest set aside as the boneyard. Highest double takes the first move of the match. No double in either hand triggers a reshuffle and a fresh deal.

How to play?

Place any tile on the layout for the first play, then add later pieces to either exposed end. Doubles sit with only two playable sides because this Bergen variant has no spinner. Empty hands end the round at once. Blocked layouts also stop the round when neither side can lay down a tile. Drawing from the boneyard comes before passing if no legal tile fits. Passing happens only after no play exists and no tile can be taken. Matching the same number on both ends scores 2 points. A double showing on one end with matching values across both ends raises that score to 3. Reaching 15 points or more after a round wins the game.
