without points?



12947522, Jamaicans play without points?

no, we play with points. I just started playing so I don't really know what I'm talking about.

12947517, Anybody who counts "nicks" don't know how to play...
Posted by Creole, Tue Dec-22-15 10:06 PM
A child can get a nickel. Where I played, it was a dub just to get your name on the board. Then, we counted dimes and up. No nicks at all. And low man and hold man had to get up off the table when two or more were waiting.

Military rules...
12947531, my Jamaican neighbors taught me how to play, they play with points

eliminating your hand of dominoes until they are gone, and playing until one person has won six times

12947566, Yeah, I slap bones
Posted by BabyYoda, Wed Dec-23-15 07:43 AM
I guess I play "west coast" style bones. As for rules, different people play with different rules. House rules vary from person to person. Scoring also varies. All I know is that I can hold my own and can talk shit while slapping em, but I mostly play for fun.
12947567, this is my standing challenge to anybody in this post.

please know...i will kick your ass in some bones.

some ppl grew up playing spades (do kids even go to school & play cards early in the morning like that anymore?)

i grew up playing dominos. & yes i have UTTER faith in my ability to kick your ass in it. so whatever lil app or stupid fb game you got? bring it.

12947569, I play bones (west coast) and have played capicu on occasion, never
Posted by T Reynolds, Wed Dec-23-15 08:01 AM
played six love.

I like Capicu because of the partner aspect, and with a partner it's so much fun to tag team with the shit talking. I introduced bones to all the New York homies and a couple didn't like it but most did.

When we throw bones it is almost always west coast, but I did pick up a capicu style domino table from the spanish guys: https://www.instagram.com/p/kdOIliCFKH/?taken-by=santeru
