Rules
- Each Colony should bring two (2) full sets of dominoes with them. These should be black with white spots and please ensure that they are complete.
- The game begins with all the dominoes spread upside down on the table and each player takes 14 dominoes.
- The player who has ‘double 6’ lays the first domino down face up, on the table.
- The game continues with players taking alternate turns to match their dominoes.
- If a player is unable to go, they indicate this to the umpire and the opponent takes another go.
- The game ends when either one of the players has laid down all their dominoes, or when neither player can go.
- The players add up the spots on the dominoes which they have left over. The umpire checks the score and writes it on the score sheet for that game (Double Blank counts as
zero spots). - Each Beaver will play approx. 6 games against Beavers from other Colonies. At the end of the final game the Leaders will be asked to total the score sheets and hand them to
District Leaders (Judges) in charge. The Beaver and the Colony with the lowest total will be declared the winners. - The Judges’ decision is final!
