A real table, not a list of moves
A 3D table seen from your own chair: you at the bottom, your partner across, opponents left and right. The fichas stand in the groove in front of you.
The game that started it
Dominoes, the way your family plays it
Partner dominoes at a table you can see: four chairs, two teams sitting across from each other, seven fichas each and no boneyard. The first hand opens on the double six. After that, whoever won the last one leads with whatever they like.
What you get
Ready for the beta table
Your people, by a four-letter code
Host a table and send the code. Private by default — the people you invite are the people who sit down. Or open it up and let the lobby find you.
Camera and voice at the table
See and hear the other three while you play. Optional, tied to the table you joined, and off until you switch it on.
Table talk
Type when you can’t talk. Opens with a tap anywhere on its bar, and says your team’s name first.
House rules, settled on the way in
Teams, words, scoring, how a hand goes, how tough the bots are. Save a set under a name and open every table with it, so nobody argues about the rules at hand three.
Dress the table
Fifteen rooms to stand the table in, table tops, ficha backs in five colours and twenty-one flags, and a drink, a hookah or a cigar at your own seat.
Celebrate properly
Slam a ficha down. Slam it three times and the table breaks. Lose badly enough and the losing side can flip the whole thing over — if the house rules allow it.
Play against the bots
Quick play drops you straight into a game on your own device, no account and no waiting, at whatever difficulty you want.
Watch without sitting down
Four letters and you can watch a table you were not dealt into. Spectators never see anybody’s hand.
Built for the phone first
The whole table is made for the phone already in your hand, with nothing extra to install.
Questions
The things people ask
Does it cost anything?
No. Dominoes is free and stays free — every rule, every table, every chair. PlanetMesa All Access is about how the table looks, not whether you can play.
Do I need an account?
Not to play against the bots. To sit at a table with other people, keep your record or save house rules, yes.
Which dominoes is this?
Dominican partner dominoes with a double-six set: 28 fichas, four players, two teams, seven fichas each, no boneyard.
Can I play on my phone?
Yes. The table is built for the phone already in your hand, with nothing extra to install.
