Block · Draw
Match the ends, empty your hand, call domino
Dominoes is the table game the whole world knows: match a tile to an open end of the line and be the first to play every tile. On Masa you play it at a 3D table with friends — the American Draw game by default, the Latin partnership Block game one tap away.

Play Dominoes online with friends
A game takes ten to twenty minutes. Sit down with friends, pair up two against two, knock on the table when you pass and talk it over on voice chat. Bots keep the seats warm until your friends arrive.
How to play
- 1
Everyone gets 7 tiles (5 each with three or four players in Draw). The first hand starts with the highest double.
- 2
On your turn, play one tile that matches an open end of the line. Doubles go crosswise.
- 3
Draw: if no tile fits, you draw from the boneyard until one does. Block: there is no boneyard — you pass.
- 4
Partners: two against two, partners sit across and share one score. In Block, pairs play to the right — counter-clockwise, as in Latin America.
Other versions of Dominoes
Same table, other rules: each version is a game of its own at Masa, with its own tables, rules and stats.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to play if a tile fits?
Yes. You only pass — or draw, in Draw — when no tile fits an open end.
What happens when the game is blocked?
Everyone shows their tiles and counts the pips. The lowest count wins the hand and scores the others’ pips; with partners, the two hands of a team are added up.
Can I play in pairs?
Yes. At a four-player table, switch on Partners: partners sit across and share one score — the way dominoes is played across Latin America and Spain.
Which rules does Masa use?
Draw by default, Block when you create a table. Masa suggests the rules played where you are, and you choose the points to win and the time per move.
