DEALING
A dealer is selected shuffling the dominoes face down on the table. Each player draws and domnio, the player drawing the highest number of dots is the first dealer. The dealer then reshuffles all dominoes face down, players draw 7 dominoes to begin the hand, following the hand the deal moves clockwise around the table.
BIDDING
The player sitting to the left of the dealer is the first bidder. The bid moves clockwise around the table until every player has the opportunity to bid by raising a previous bid or passing. Each player has only one chance to bid before play of the hand begins. Bidding begins at 30 and moves upward to 42 (One Mark). “Mark” bidding may not start at 126 (Three Marks) or higher. After a 42 or 84 bid, subsequent bids must be made in one mark increments. All Mark level bids must be stacked
To maintain pace of play, no “Pass Out” hands will be allowed, if the first 3 players pass, the 4th player must bid a minimum of 30.
The highest bidder announces trumps and starts the game by playing the first domino. No trumps “follow me” will be allowed. Players must follow the suit led by the first player of each trick. If trumps are not led, the highest suit on the domino led establishes the suit a player must follow. If it is not possible to follow suit, then a player may throw a trump, a count domino or an “off:
Trumps cannot be played if it is possible to follow suit with other dominoes. The highest trump or highest domino takes the trick. When doubles are trumps the same trump rules apply: the lead of a double requires play of a double, when possible.
Bidding NELLO is not permitted.
