Classic block dominoes, double-six set
Dominoes Duel deals the standard 28-tile double-six set, 7 tiles to each side and 14 left in the boneyard. Every tile you play has to match a number already showing on one of the line's two open ends, and if nothing in your hand fits, you draw from the boneyard until something does or it runs dry. Empty your hand first and you win outright. If both sides get stuck with an empty boneyard, whoever is holding fewer total pips wins the round instead.
The AI plays real tile-management strategy rather than just the first legal tile it finds. Medium sheds its highest-value tiles first to lower its pip count if the round gets blocked, and Hard also thinks about which open-end numbers it's holding duplicates of, trying to keep the line ending on numbers that are harder for you to match. Switch to 2 Player mode for local pass-and-play, with each hand hidden behind a pass-the-device prompt.
