RULES

Game Rules

Dominoes

Double-six set (28 tiles); each player draws 5; remaining tiles form the boneyard. Highest double leads.

If a player cannot play, they draw until they can play or the pile runs out. If the game is blocked, the lowest pip count wins the hand. Score the pips remaining in the opponents' hands. The first team to 150 advances.

Spades

Four players per table, with one non-playing dealer managing the deck and tracking books, bids, and infractions.

The minimum bid per team is 4. No blind bidding. Spades are permanent trump and cannot be led until broken.

Card hierarchy: Big Joker → Little Joker → 2♠ → A♠ → K → Q → J, and so on.

A confirmed renege results in an automatic three-book penalty.

PRIZES

Championship Prizes

Championships

Each game crowns its own champions. The Spades championship team and the Dominoes championship team each receive:

  • One Kings of the Table trophy per player
  • A $100 cash prize per team

The prizes are intentionally modest because the emphasis is connection, competition, and community—not payout.
