About the product:

- Brand: Janod
- Recommended age: 3-6 years old. From 2-4 players.
- Contains: 28 giant cardboard dominoes (dimensions 13 x 6,5 cm)

Rules of the Game:
- Each player starts with 5 dominoes. The remaining dominoes are placed in a draw pile in the center of the table.
- To begin, the youngest player takes their turn first. They draw a domino from the pile, place it in the center of the table, and start building the game by matching animal heads to their bodies (if playing with the animal side up) or matching numbers (if using the numbered side).
- Players take turns placing their dominoes to continue the chain, either matching the animal head to body or the correct number. If a player cannot make a move, they draw a domino from the pile. If the new domino is playable, they continue their turn; if not, the turn ends.
- The first player to place all of their dominoes wins the game.
Special Rules:
- If all dominoes in the draw pile have been used and no player can make a move, the game is “blocked.” The player with the fewest dominoes in hand at that point wins the round.
- If playing with the number side up and the game is blocked, the player with the fewest remaining points wins the game, and the other player’s points are awarded to them.
