Domino Rummy Board Game | BoardGames.com | Your source for everything to do with Board Games

A unique card game, whose cards mostly have spots like dominoes, and whose play is a bit like Rummy but still unique.

The 54-card deck consists of:
10 Deuces
12 Treys
12 Fours
10 Fives
2 Tens
6 Queens of Spades
2 Jokers

Players are dealt 4-card hands. In their turn a player:

Draws one or more cards from the deck or discard pile.
Plays one card from their hand on the table in front of them.
Optionally plays one or more Queens on top of other players' cards (one card per Queen), to discard both the cards. The target player may play a Joker to counter the Queen.
Discards a card.

The hand ends once one player has 4 cards on the table in front of them. Each player then scores:

The sum of the numbers of the cards in front of them.
If they went out, a bonus of 5 points, plus and extra 5 points if their cards are 2-3-4-5, or an extra 10 if they are 4 of a kind.
The sum of the cards' values still in hand is subtracted.

Hands are played until one player reaches at least 100 points, and the highest score wins.

Two decks can be combined for playing up to 8 players.
