3. Setup for Play
- Prepare the Playing Surface: Ensure a flat, stable surface for playing. The large dominoes are designed to stand on their own without holders.
- Shuffle the Dominoes: Place all 28 domino tiles face down on the playing surface and shuffle them thoroughly.
- Draw Tiles: Each player draws a set number of tiles. For 2-4 players, each player typically draws 7 tiles. For more players, adjust the number of tiles drawn per player so that some remain in the "boneyard" (the pile of face-down tiles).
- Arrange Tiles: Players arrange their drawn tiles so that only they can see the faces. The Mega tiles are designed for stable upright placement.

4. Operating Instructions: Double Six Dominoes Gameplay
Objective:
The goal of Double Six Dominoes is to be the first player to empty their hand of all domino tiles, or to have the fewest points remaining in their hand when the game ends.
Starting the Game:
The player with the highest double domino (e.g., double-six) starts the game by placing it in the center of the playing area. If no player has a double, the player with the highest single tile starts.
Playing Your Turn:
- Players take turns matching the open ends of the dominoes on the table with a tile from their hand. For example, if a double-six is played, the next player must play a tile with a six on one end.
- Double tiles (e.g., double-four) are typically played perpendicularly to the main line, allowing play on both sides of the double.
- If a player cannot make a move, they must draw tiles from the "boneyard" until they draw a playable tile or the boneyard is empty. If the boneyard is empty and they cannot play, they pass their turn.
Ending the Game:
The game ends when a player plays their last tile ("dominoes out") or when no player can make a move (a "blocked" game). The player who went out, or the player with the lowest total points in their hand in a blocked game, wins the round.
