Bidding games are card-like games, played by two to four players. In these games, players bid their hands, the highest bidder names the suit, and the score is determined by the bid. Each number or blank is called a suit. Therefore, each domino, except for those with two of the same values, have two different suits. One reason for its popularity in this region is that fact that while cards and dice were seen by the Catholic Church as promoting gambling, dominoes never had the same connotation. Spinners: Some games allow players to lay tiles not only at each end of a double, but also on either side for a total of four tiles. When doubles are used this way, they are called ‘spinners.’ Round games are party games, played by three to ten players, in which scoring is usually done at the end of each hand and each hand is usually a game.

Dominoes are joined to the line of play in two ways: 1) with the line of play, lengthwise, the dominoes played end to end; or, 2) across the line of play, crosswise, the dominoes played across the matching number. In most domino games, doubles, and only doubles, are played crosswise; singles are played lengthwise, and the next tile is added after each double played, if the double is not a spinner, must be lengthwise.If you are using a cribbage board to keep score, each hole is worth five points. The Common Variations: During play, a player can earn points by ending his turn with the open ends of the layout totaling a multiple of five (5, 10, 15, 20, etc.). Draw: When a player needs to take an additional domino from the reserve pile because the player is unable to lay down a tile. Scoring Games: In scoring games, players get points both during play, depending on how they lay their tiles, and at the end of the round. In a scoring game, the person who reaches a certain number of points wins the game.

Cuban Dominoes is a partner game. Partners are usually chosen at random using any method the players want.Each player draws the number of tiles specified in the rules for the domino game being played and then places them in front of himself in such a way that the other players can't see the pips on his tiles. Given the last example, if a tile is now played on the 5-5, assuming it is not a spinner, the 5-5 is no longer an end for the purpose of counting. See the example below. The line of play is 3-5, 5-5, 5-1, and the count is 4 (3+1). If the 5-5 is not a spinner in this case, the 5-5 is not an end. Because, as it turns out, games played with dominoes are every bit as strategic, fun and competitive as any card game or dice game.
