Pokino

An odd fusion of rummy and dominoes for two or more players.

Object: To score points by playing card sequences that match sequences of adjacent numbers formed by dominoes in play.

You Need:

• A set of double-12 dominoes.
  • A poker deck.
  • A bunch of beads or other tokens. Pennies work well.

On your turn you may play a domino from your hand (to create a future point-scoring opportunity) or play two or more cards from your hand (to score points). When you play domimoes, you earn tokens. Tokens are necessary to play cards (You may not play a card that you cannot pay for.)

If you have no cards in your hand at any point during the game, call out 'Pokino!' The game ends immediately. You win the game. Winning this way is hard to do, but not impossible. The game also ends when there are no dominoes left in the poke. The player with the highest score wins.
