This page is intended to show, about what there is a speech in the manual where 64 game variants actually are described.
It is computer translation of some parts of the text which
help to present the Russian text. Unfortunately, computer translation is not
exact, but nevertheless some sense can be clear. Performance of exact
translation is a task scrupulous which is possible to execute if the
translator will participate in game as essence and rules of each game should be realized.
Brief computer translation is given to guess how to play dominoes applying the
offered game device.

The present description only shows prospective opportunities, and the most
obvious rules are given, but concrete rules of different domino games can be established at the will.
Games can be complex or simple, and rules of different variants can be
changed. That is players can establish any rules and solve any game tasks
according to the own discretion.
Domino games in the description are given at numbers. Under asterisks probable
variants of games are given.
Players settle down opposite each other on the different sides of the game board, but can settle down how it will be convenient
if it has no value.
If more than two players can take part in game then it is specified especially.

Rules of domino game 4.
Tiles of dominoes move on rectangles of the board in this game.
Game will carry out by two reduced complete sets with digits from 0 up to 3.
That is from complete sets eliminate dominoes tiles having digits 4, 5, 6, and in each
complete set there are 12 tiles, including the added doubles.
Before the beginning tiles have on the board in initial game positions,
as shown in figure 4.
That is dominoes of one complete set have on dark rectangles of one half and
dominoes of the second complete set on light rectangles of an
opposite half of the game board. Each player plays by dominoes tiles of own complete set.
Game consists that players by turns move own tiles on rectangles of the board
only in diagonal directions, and dominoes of one player move over diagonals on
dark rectangles, and dominoes of the second player over
diagonals on light rectangles.
Tiles move for one course on one rectangle or can jump through others, and can do some jumps for one course as in
a checker game. Each player can jump only
through own tiles as tiles belonging to players move on different rectangles.
During moving dominoes can be opposed by frontal edges with identical or not
identical digits but if your tile is opposed with identical digits then such
tiles of the opponent exclude from game.
If a dominoes tile does some jumps and is opposed with identical digit then a tile of the opponent removes from the game board and
the course stops. Namely it is impossible to remove from the game board some
tiles at one course.
The task of game consists that it is necessary to take off a lot of opponent's
tiles from the board. Game is finished when the further interaction of dominoes becomes impracticable.
• The task of game can consist in moving dominoes tiles from own half of board on half of board of the opponent. That is wins in such game variant the one who will move own dominoes tiles through the middle line of the board which is border between halves.
• Game can be carried out by the reduced proportional groups of dominoes
tiles of one complete set. For this purpose eliminate dominoes having digit 6, and in
each proportional group there are 12 tiles, including the added doubles.
In initial game positions such reduced proportional groups can be located how is
shown in figures 4(A) or 4(B).
Other type of games differs that dominoes tiles shift instead of move.
That is performance of a course consists that players shift dominoes tiles on any
rectangles of the game board.
Rearrangement (shifting) is probable only on free rectangles. That is tiles on
tiles are not imposed. Contact of dominoes by lateral edges has no value, and
interaction occurs only at opposition by frontal edges.
The general rules are same as at moving dominoes tiles, but essential difference
that it is not supposed to oppose dominoes by not identical digits. Namely if
digits of a shifted tile do not coincide with digits of tiles on adjacent
vertical rectangles then a shifting is impossible.
Rules of domino game 10.
In this game tiles of dominoes shift on rectangles of the board.
Game will carry out by proportional groups of dominoes of one complete set. Each
player plays by tiles of own proportional group which preliminary have on the
board in initial game positions shown on figures 1(A) or 1(B), or in the casual
order on 1-2 and 8-7 horizontals accordingly for players. Focusing arrows direct on the opponent
at casual initial positions.
Game consists that players by turns choose any own dominoes tiles and shift on other free
rectangles. It is authorized to shift only on such rectangles on which your
tiles will be opposed by frontal edges with identical digits of other your
tiles. If at the same time your have opposed with identical digit of any tile of
the opponent then such tile of the opponent exclude from game.
Opposition of dominoes by not identical digits is forbidden. Though dominoes tiles can be opposed
by not identical digits in initial positions, but during game it is not supposed.
It is impossible to shift so that a tile will be opposed by one digit
with identical digit and by second digit with not identical digit of other
dominoes tiles. Directions of focusing arrows at a shifting does not change.
That is dominoes tiles should be directed on the opponent.
Game is finished when someone from players shifts any tile out opposite edge of
the board. Provided that the dominoes tile behind edge of the board also should
be opposed with identical digit of other tile.
Wins the one who has shifted own tile behind opposite edge of the game board
earlier with the calculation of a first advantage course of one of players.
• Directions of focusing arrows can be not observed. Namely it can be authorized to direct shifted tiles by arrows on the opponent or on itself. And directions of arrows in initial game positions also can be casual.
• Game can be carried out by two whole complete sets which preliminary have on 1
and 8 horizontals of the board accordingly for players so on each rectangle four dominoes tiles
are located in a pack.
Thus players can shift top dominoes tiles from packs or those tiles which
were shifted from packs before. Tiles on tiles are not
imposed during game, though preliminary dominoes were imposed by packs.
If according to game rules your tile is opposed with identical
digit of any tile which is top in a pack then your remove from the board a whole pack of opponent.
The following type of games differs that dominoes tiles place on rectangles of
the board. That is preliminary tiles have no on the board, and
place during game.
As well as in dominoes games in which tiles move or shift, oppositions only by
frontal edges are significant. Contacts of dominoes by lateral edges are not
taken into account. Provided that dominoes can be opposed by identical or not identical
digits, or can be not opposed with other dominoes that depends on rules of concrete games.
Tiles on tiles are not imposed. Directions of focusing arrows in
various games can to observe or can be not observed.
Rules of domino game 22.
Tiles of dominoes place on rectangles of the board in this game.
Game will carry out by two complete sets. Each player plays by own
complete set which preliminary shuffle and have in a closed packs outside of the board.
Game consists that players by turns open tiles from own closed packs and place
on the board. Everyone starts to play from the extreme horizontal on own half of
board. That is players settle down opposite each other and start to place own tiles
on any rectangles of extreme horizontals on own halves of board.
Directions of focusing arrows are not observed.
Players can place
any tiles on rectangles of extreme horizontals, but further players place tiles if oppose frontal edges with identical
digits of own tiles which before placed on the game board.
Not identical digits of dominoes tiles can not be opposed.
The task of game consists that each player consistently occupies by own tiles
vertical lines and so tries to place own tiles from own half on half of board of
the opponent. If there is an opposition to identical digits of opponent's
dominoes then these tiles of the opponent remove exclude from the board.
Game is finished when all dominoes tiles from the closed packs are placed on the
board. Wins the one who has placed more tiles on opponent's half of board.
If any dominoes tile cannot be placed on the board according to rules of game
then such dominoes tile remove aside and further do not use.
• Game can be carried out across the game board. That is in this case dominoes
tiles place within the linear sectoring across usual rectangles. Thus
players have 16 transverse rectangles of extreme horizontals on which can place any
tiles and have 4 transverse rectangles on each cross vertical.
Variants of dominoes game lengthways or across the
board have different characters.
Here the brief review of domino games can be finished, though probable games and variants are much greater.
Some dominoes games are interesting and some are less interesting, though it is difficult to
tell which dominoes games will be acceptable and consequently participants of
game can consider the offered variants and to apply different and any own rules.
The design of game is entirely adapted to establish different rules.
