How to play

• The deal. With two players each takes 7 tiles and the rest are the pile. With four, 5 each (7 each in the Block game).
• Who goes first. The highest double leads the first round; after that, the last round's winner leads.
• Your turn. Add a tile to either open end so the touching halves match. Tap a tile, then a glowing end, or drag it.
• Can't play? In Draw and All Fives, draw from the pile until a tile fits, then pass when it's empty. In Block, pass.
• Winning a round. Play your last tile first and score the pips left in the other hands. If nobody can play, the fewest pips wins.
• All Fives. When the two open ends add up to 5, 10, 15 or 20, you score that many points. A double at an end counts both halves.
• The match. First to 100 points (or 150) wins.
