A popular domino game in Texas is [[42_(dominoes)|42]]. The game is similar to the card game spades. It is played with four players paired into teams. Each player draws seven dominoes, and the dominoes are played into tricks. Each trick counts as 1 point, and any domino with a multiple of 5 dots counts toward the total of the hand. 35 points of "five count" + 7 tricks = 42 points, hence the name.
Also, in the caribean, there are other common games which involve four (4) players in which the players can play as partners or as indivuals. In partners, the partners sit accross from each other and all hands can not be seen by the other players. The game is started by shuffling the dominoes or 'cards' and each player pulling seven (7) cards. The double six is then played and play continues to the starter's right. If a player can not play then he is passed and it is the next player's turn. The object is for a team to win by one (1) of the players running out of dominoes. The winning team is awarded a point and then restart the process by shuffling and pulling a new hand and then starting with any dominoe either partner wishes to play. The game goes on till one team reaches six points.
Double points are awarded when you get 'key'. This happens when your last card is the only card that can be played on both ends. Also when a player pulls five (5) doubles all players put thier dominoes back and pull new hands, the following game is played for 2 points and the double six is started by the player who has it.
This variation is called "Partners" where the other variation is called "Cutt-Throat" where each player plays for himself, in which all the same rules apply as in partners.
This form of dominoes is most common in Jamacia and The Cayman Islands.
