How To Play Dominoes

During a two player game, each player gets 14 game pieces. They aren't supposed to so which pieces they got to the other player. Player one will start the game by putting down the domino of their choice. If Player one put down a domino with two dots on on half and six on the other half,  player two  has to put  some type of match. By a "match" I mean like connecting a domino with two dots on one half with Player one's domino with two dots on one half. Here is an example of how a finished game should look:

The game will keep repeating itself, unless one player doesn't have a match for the other player's domino. To let the other player know, they knock on the surface that they are playing dominoes on. That means that they are skipping a turn and that the other player can go again. To finish the game one player needs to get rid of all their dominoes. If they do they would win the game.
