Domino Grid Games
In some recently developed domino connecting games, instead of building chains of dominoes to form arms radiating from the initial tile, the players place tiles within a predefined two-dimensional grid. The grid can take various forms depending on the game, and there will generally be a connecting rule that requires touching tiles to match.
Here is a list of traditional and invented domino grid games on pagat.com.
| Game | Players | Equipment | Game type | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Klondike dominoes | 2–4 | [6:6] | equal end matching pattern scoring | |
| Sevens Dominoes | 2, 3 | [6:6] | other matching rules shedding | |
| Streets and Avenues | 2–4 | [9:9] [12:12] | equal end matching pattern scoring | |
