Questions and Answers (FAQ):

The Goat variation of dominoes can be called a classic. This exciting game appeals with its very simple rules and always brings a wave of positive emotions, especially when a large group gathers at the table. On our portal, you can learn the rules of Goat dominoes. Learning to play dominoes online could not be easier.

Rules of Goat dominoes

Goat dominoes are played by two to four people.

The game uses a standard set of twenty-eight tiles (tiles with a certain number of pips). The lowest value on the tiles is 0, and the highest is 6. Each tile has two values.

For convenience, tile sorting is available. To sort, click the lower half of any tile you have. All tiles of that value will then flip over and be grouped at the top in ascending order.

"Redeal" convention

When creating a game, you can enable or disable the "Redeal" convention. If it is enabled and the initial deal meets one of the conditions listed below, the current round is automatically cancelled and the tiles are dealt again. No separate decision by the players to redeal is required.

• Redeal conditions in the "Pair vs. Pair" mode (2 vs. 2):
• One team has been dealt 6 or 7 doubles between both partners;
• One team has been dealt 6 or 7 tiles of the same suit between both partners.
• Redeal conditions in the "Every Player for Themselves" mode (non-team):
• One player has 5 or more doubles in hand;
• One player has 5 or more tiles of the same suit in hand, regardless of whether they have a double of that suit;
• One player has 0 doubles, with a total pip count on their tiles of less than 15.

"Own Points" convention in a "Blocked Game"

If the game is blocked ("Blocked Game") and, when points are counted, both teams simultaneously exceed the 101-point threshold, the win is immediately awarded to the team with the lower final score in that round (the team with fewer penalty points left in hand).

Automatic draw from the bazaar

You can enable the "Automatic draw from the bazaar" option in your personal game settings. When it is enabled, a tile is selected automatically from the bazaar when a draw is needed. If the option is disabled, the player chooses one of the face-down tiles in the bazaar. This setting affects only how the tile is selected and does not change the drawing rules.

How to Play Goat Dominoes

• Each participant is dealt seven tiles. The remaining tiles form the "bazaar", which players turn to if they do not have a tile with the numerical value needed to make a move.
• The first move is made by the player who has the 1-1 tile. If no one has it, the player with 2-2 goes first, and so on, from the lower value to the higher one. If there are no doubles, the tile with the lowest total number of pips is played: 0-1, 0-2, and so on. The player must place this tile first.
• How many doubles are there in dominoes? There are 7 in a standard set: 0-0, 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4, 5-5 and 6-6.
• The next player in turn must place a tile with 1 pip on one side, for example 1-3, provided that the first tile placed on the table was 1-1.
• If a player cannot make a move because they do not have the required tile, they draw tiles from the BAZAAR one at a time until they get a suitable one or until further drawing becomes impossible according to the BAZAAR settings. When the "Automatic draw from the bazaar" option is enabled, tiles are selected automatically. When it is disabled, the player chooses a face-down tile themselves.
• If there are no more tiles available to draw from the BAZAAR and the player has no suitable tile, they skip their turn. The game settings include the BAZAAR option: ALL, WITHOUT ONE, WITHOUT TWO. It determines how many tiles must remain in the BAZAAR and not be dealt to players.
• During the game, it may happen that none of the players can make a move. This situation is called a BLOCKED GAME. In dominoes, a blocked game can be declared if the double with the number involved in the blocked game is in a player's hand or in the BAZAAR. The second option is that a blocked game is declared after a double is played. The player decides which option to choose when creating a game request by selecting the WITH DOUBLE or WITHOUT DOUBLE option.
• When creating a game, you can change how points are recorded in a BLOCKED GAME.
• If the OWN POINTS TO THE LOSER option is selected, the loser's points are recorded only for them. No points are recorded for the other players.
• When the OWN POINTS option for a blocked game is selected, each player's points are recorded for that player or team.
• When the ALL POINTS TO THE LOSER option is selected, the points of all players are recorded for the player or team with the highest score in a blocked game.
• If two players or two teams have the same number of points, EGGS are played for to determine who will receive all the points scored by the players in the BLOCKED GAME. All points from this round are added to whoever loses the next play-off.

Game result

The winner is the first player to place all their tiles on the table. The loser is the player who still has tiles in hand. Starting from 13 points scored, the result is automatically entered into a summary table, which clearly shows how many points each participant scores.

If, since the start of the game, a player's score in each individual round is less than 13, their points are not recorded but are carried over (shown in red) to the next round. This continues until they score more than 13 points in a round. In that case, all points shown in red are added together. But if, before scoring 13 points in a round, the player wins with 0 points, the carried-over points are automatically reset, and the player has 0 points again. The participant who is first to score 101 points is declared the GOAT.

How to play Goat dominoes in pairs

The rules for two-versus-two Goat dominoes are similar to the rules of GOAT when every player plays for themselves. The points scored by each player on the team that loses the current round are added together. If one player on a team plays all their tiles, that team is considered the winner and scores zero points.

The team whose opponents score 101 points wins.
