You can learn Dominoes rules in five minutes and still be playing it years later. A classic double-six set has 28 tiles with dots from 0 to 6. Place a tile next to another one so the numbers match. If no move, you have to draw from the "boneyard," the extra tiles sitting on the table. A game works for 2-4 players, and there is enough variety to last a whole season, from the classic Block game to Draw, Muggins, and Five-Up.
