Never heard of it. Time for

Re: Dominoes - Jamaican Style

Well met!

There are at the most 4 players. Each player draws 7 dominoes. The player with the highest double goes first initially. Dominoes can only be played end to end, i.e., doubles can only be played upon in 2, as opposed to 4, directions. The winner of each game is the player to play all his/her dominoes first. The winner of each subsequent game, after the first, plays first with any dominoe in his/her hand.

The first player to win 6 games before each of his/her opponents wins 1 game, wins the Game. Thus, with 2 players, if 1 has 5 wins, when his/her opponent wins the next game, he/she "breaks" the Game, and the players start over. With 4 players, scores of 5, 1, 1, and 0 could exist, with the Game being broken if the player with 0 wins before any of the others can win 6 games. The winner of the first game after a break receives credit for 2 wins. If any player draws 4 doubles, the hand is thrown in, and the players start a new Game as though the previous Game had been broken, but the players retain their scores from the previous Game, and the winner of the next game receives credit for 2 wins.

Jamaican Dominoes is a game simple to learn, and challenging to play well, but that isn't all there is to it. There is, besides the usual trash talk, the traditional slamming of the domino(es) on the table, sometimes to punctuate a significant play, or series of plays (when you know no one else can play), but inevitably to rub your opponent('s)(s') nose(s) in it when you play your last (winning) dominoe!
