The first player places one of their dominoes (right-side up) on the table. The second player tries to put a domino on the table that matches one side of what's already there. If a player cannot go, the player picks a domino from the pile and skips that turn. The chain of the played dominoes develops randomly, and can look a lot like a snake.
There are many different ways to play dominoes. The blocking game is the most common game for two players using a double-six set. The tiles are shuffled, each player draws seven and one player plays his or her first tile. Each player then extends the line of play with a tile from their hands.
