Software Board-Games - Shark Dominoes

Description:

There are many variations of the game of Dominoes, Shark Dominoes is one variation. Each game round starts with the 28 dominoes face down in random order.
The Human player and the computer player take turns drawing 11 dominoes each.
The remaining dominoes are removed from the board. Play starts with the first player that has the double six dominoe.
If no player has the double six dominoe, the next highest double dominoe (5-5, 4-4, 3-3, etc.) is placed in the center of the board. The other player then tries to match one of their dominoes to one end of the double dominoe.
If the first dominoe is a double five, the other player will add any of their dominoes containing five dots on one end.
Dominoes are placed length-wise rather than at right angles. If a player can not match the dominoes at either end, then the player must pass and then try again on the next turn. Points for the game are scored by adding both ends together.
If both ends add up to a multiple of five (5, 10, 15, 20, etc.) then the player receives those points. Play continues until one player has used all of their dominoes or until no player can play.
If no further plays can be made, the player with no dominoes, or with the least number of points (dots) on the remaining dominoes wins the round.
The player subtracts the total of their points from the total of the opponents' points and scores the balance to the nearest five multiple (5, 10, 15, etc.).
Rounds continue until one player scores 200 points.
The game is won by the first player to score 200 or more points.
