Domino Online card game
In short
Small game, real backstory, and that combination does not come along often. The developer spent years teaching Flip to offline players and says they never went back to plain dominoes afterwards. That mode is the reason to try this one.
About the game
Domino Online brings dominoes into Telegram with two rule sets: Classic and a mode called Flip. You can play against friends or bots, but the developer's letter is almost entirely about the second mode.
Flip, he explains, comes from the Perm region in Russia and is practically unknown anywhere else. The twist is that matching tiles to an open end is only half the game. You can sabotage opponents, load them up with tiles and make them skip turns, so you are playing against a person rather than just the layout.
Classic mode is there for anyone who would rather not start with unfamiliar rules. The author openly admits Flip is hard to pick up cold and hopes people will graduate to it over time. That seems sensible to us: warm up with what you know, then try the new thing.
What the description leaves out: the full Flip rules, scoring, purchases and prices. How the game teaches Flip is unclear too. Our tip is to play a couple of rounds against a bot before inviting a friend, or the first match will turn into an argument about the rules.
You'll like it if
- you like dominoes and want a regional variant with dirty tricks
- plain dominoes bores you because it leaves so little to decide
- you have a friend you can easily play with over messages
Skip it if
- you have no interest in learning new rules and want only the classic
- you expect a thorough tutorial from the very first launch
