Each player receives four dominoes and splits them into two hands of two tiles each.
4
Arrange your two hands so your stronger hand and weaker hand are set according to traditional tile-ranking combinations.

Compare both of your hands against the banker's two hands; you must win both to beat the banker outright.
6
Settle bets based on how many of your two hands beat the corresponding banker hands, then reshuffle for the next round.
