About the game

In Judge Domino, first released as チキンドミノ (Chicken Domino), players set up a challenging line of dominoes to be pushed over and hope to either successfully knock them over — or pass and have someone else fail to knock them over. On a turn, you either add a domino to the line or pass. If all dominos have already been placed in the line, remove a domino that's not at the end of the line and move it to either end of the line. When all but one player has passed, that player must knock over the dominoes with a single push. The first player to successfully knock over the dominoes twice wins. Additionally, players are eliminated if they twice attempt to knock all the dominoes over and fail to do so.
