Cuban Dominoes
The double-nine set in pairs: 10 tiles each, first to 100
Cuban dominoes is played with the big double-nine set: 55 tiles from 0-0 to 9-9. Four players in two pairs take 10 tiles each and the other 15 stay face down. Play goes to the right; the pair that goes out scores the opponents’ pips, and in a block the single lightest hand wins. The first pair to 100 wins.
