Sebastopol Dominoes Game
-
Version
1
The player holding the double-six places the first
domino. Play proceeds to the left (clockwise). Each
player adds a domino to an open end of the layout, if
he can. The four edges of the double-six must be
filled before any other tiles may be layed down. This
initial five-tile formation is called a "star". After
creation of the star, play proceeds in the standard
way, with dominoes added to the open ends. The
difference is that in Sebastopol, there are four open
ends rather than two.
For example, in the illustration to the right, four
tiles have already been played onto the four edges of
the double-six. The four open ends are the 1, 2, 4, &
5. As is customary, the layout may flow in any
direction, turning as necessary, and doubles may be
placed crosswise or inline, as you prefer.
A player that cannot make a move must pass. Since all
tiles are in play, the game can never be blocked. The
player that dominoes (plays his last tile) first wins
