42

Five dominoes carry the count. Add a point for each of the seven tricks, and every hand is worth 42.

A trick just played on the green felt: four dominoes in the middle, your six standing along the bottom, and Dot, Ray and Lou around the table

Plays like the kitchen table

Bots with their own habits

Eight characters, each with a face and a way of playing. Ray plays it steady, Dot bids bold, Hank gambles on marks, and Earl can't pass up a double. Pick who sits where, and how often they slip, from Beginner to Normal.

Real dominoes, real sounds

A full double-six set with recessed pips and a brass spinner, the clack of a real tile and the rattle of a real shuffle. Felt or oak, classic or color-dot pips, or numbers instead of pips if you'd rather not count.

Laid out like a real game

Hands stand on edge, the trick plays out in the middle, and each team's keeper stacks the tricks in front of them. Slide out the tricks panel any time to look back over the hand.

Help when you want it

See a suggested bid, tap Hint for a play, and read the hand summary to find exactly which trick made or set the bid.

Your house rules

Every table plays 42 a little differently. Set it up the way yours does before the first shake.

When everyone passes: Shake again, or the dealer bids 30
Doubles as trump: Allowed or not
Follow Me (no trump): Allowed or not
Highest opening bid: 2 marks, or no limit
End the hand once it's decided: Yes, or play it out
Marks to win: 5, 7 or 10
