About Austrian Domino Duel

Each player is dealt 10 tiles, and the rest go into the bazaar.

You score the points on the tiles your opponent is holding, and a match runs over several rounds. The first player to reach the target wins, and that target is 50, 70, 100 or 120 points depending on the game settings.

The set is what makes this version different. It starts from a double-eight set of 45 tiles with all nine doubles taken out, so every tile in play shows two different numbers. This way of playing the board game was common in Vienna at the start of the 20th century.

In the first round, the player with the highest tile goes first. In every round after that, the winner of the previous round leads. You can practice against the AI or switch to multiplayer and face a real person online.
