indicated.
If a player cannot put down one of their dominoes, they take a
domino from the top of the pile and put it down if they can.
Level
If there are no dominoes left in the pile, play passes to the next
Elementary (A1-A2) student.

The first player to get rid of all their dominoes wins the game.
Time
20 minutes The other players should continue to put down their dominoes,
as when all the dominoes have been matched they form a loop.
If a loop is not formed, then the students haven’t matched the
dominoes correctly and they should look for the mistake.
