cked_; that is, when
neither party can play, by matching the pieces where unpaired at
either end; then that player wins who has the smallest number of pips
on the pieces remaining in his hand. It is to the advantage of every
player to dispossess himself as early as possible of the heavy pieces,
such as a double-six, five, four, &c. Sometimes, when two persons
play, they take each only three or five pieces, and agree to _play_ or
_draw_, i.e., when one cannot come in, or pair the pieces upon the
board at the end unmatched, he draws from the pieces in stock till he
finds one to suit. There are various other ways of playing dominoes,
but they are all dependent on the matching of the pips.
