DR Dominoes

DR Dominoes is a digital version of dominoes as it is played in the Caribbean, presented with 3D tiles, lighting and sound effects. Matches use a double-six set of 28 tiles and are played by four people split into two teams of two. There is no boneyard and no drawing: each player receives seven tiles and must either play from that hand or pass. The rules cover leads, passes, blocked games and capicúas, and matches can be set to finish at 100, 120, 150 or 200 points. When the chain of tiles reaches the edge of the table, it turns the corner rather than extending off screen.

For communication, the game uses proximity voice chat, so each player’s voice comes from the direction of their seat at the table. Text chat is also available for those who prefer not to use a microphone. Online options include private rooms joined by sharing a code, a browser for finding public tables that still have open seats, and a reconnect feature that holds a player’s place if their connection drops. A profile tracks statistics such as wins, blocks and win rate.

An offline mode lets players take on AI opponents without an internet connection. According to the developer, the AI counts tiles, remembers which tiles a player has passed on and can block the game. It can be used for practice or to fill empty seats in a match. On Steam, players can invite friends through the overlay and see their friends list in the lobby. Native versions are available for Windows, macOS and Linux. The game has now passed 100 reviews on Steam.
