Double-Six Dominoes
Games using the standard Western double-6 domino set. Dominoes are tile-matching games: players extend a chain by playing tiles whose pip values match the open ends of the layout.
The Double-6 Set (28 tiles)
28 tiles covering every combination of two values from 0 to 6 (including doubles). Each tile is called a bone. Tiles with the same pip on both halves are doubles.
| Component | Detail |
|---|---|
| Tiles (bones) | 28 (0-0 through 6-6) |
| Pip range | 0-6 per half |
| Doubles | 7 (0-0, 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4, 5-5, 6-6) |
| Total pips | 168 |
| Boneyard | Remaining tiles after deal, drawn from face-down |
Mexican Train uses the double-12 set (91 tiles, pips 0-12) for larger player counts.
