Sedma Dominoes Game Rules

  • Sedma is a 4 player dominoes game played with double-six domino set. Each player gets 7 tiles at the beginning of each round.
  • First turn or lead is decided by a draw of lot (each player draws one tile and highest tile starts the round). In subsequent rounds player sitting next to the previous leader gets the first turn.
  • Lead player must start the round with a double. If this player has no double, then lead is passed to the next player who can start with a double.
  • After that, the other players in turn build a train from one and only one side of the lead double.
  • If a player has a tile that matches the open end of the train, he can place it in the usual manner. If a player can not make a move, he/she simply passes the turn to the next player.
  • The round ends when the game is blocked, or when one player dominoes, or as soon as all doubles are played.
  • When a player sets a double he scores one point for his double and then one point for all doubles already in the train which are lower than his double.
  • The order of the doubles is [0-0], [1-1], [2-2], [3-3], [4-4], [5-5], [6-6], [0-0]. So [0-0] is both high and low. For example, the highest score is 7 points, when the doubles are played in numeric order, or when the double blank is played after [1-1] thru [6-6] are in the train in numeric order.
  • The game is played for multiple rounds and ends as soon as a player scores 61 or more points thus winning the game.
