[. . . ] All dominoes must be played face up and must match any other domino currently in play. Each domino is divided into two parts, or ends, each containing a set of spots known as "pips. " A double domino contains matching ends (6-6, 5-5, etc. ). The player with the highest double domino begins the game. The second player then tries to match one of his/her dominoes to one end or side of the double. For example, if the first domino played is a double four, the second player may add one domino containing four spots on one end or side. The next player may play to the double four or match the end of the second domino played. Only one domino may be played at each turn. Players match ends of the dominoes, but may play to either end or to either side of the double. On your turn, if you cannot match the spots at any open end of a row, you must draw from the extra dominoes until able to do so. Should you draw the last domino and still not be able to play, you pass and then try again on your next turn. Doubles are always placed crosswise to the end they match, thereby giving two new directions in which to place dominoes. THE CONNECT FOUR ® GAME SCREEN On your turn: 1. Left-click on your stack of checkers to select a piece. Carry the piece up along the top of the rack. Left-click over the row where you would like to drop your piece. Play alternates until one player gets FOUR checkers of his or her color in a row. The four in a row can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal. 20 MILTON BRADLEY® CLASSIC BOARD GAMES MILTON BRADLEY® CLASSIC BOARD GAMES 21 Play continues until one player has used all of his/her dominoes, and is declared the winner, or until no one can make a play. The winner's score is determined by adding the points (spots) of the opponent's remaining dominoes. In the event no one can make a play, the player with the fewest points on his/her remaining dominoes is declared the winner and scores by subtracting his/her points from the total number of points on the opponent's remaining dominoes. Rounds continue until one player scores 100 points. The first player to score 100 points or more wins the game.
