Jamaicans are among the "vibesiest" set of people on the planet. By that I mean they bring charisma and excitement to anything they set their hands and hearts to. Dominoes happens to be one such thing Jamaicans love. Jamaicans come up with the most spectacular moves to place emphasis on game-play, in ways that are nothing short of drama and excitement.
PlayJamaicans play a form of the "draw" style domino. Jamaican style domino games are filled with a lot drama and as such require a very solid and firm surface to be played on, since most players "dramatize" to a point where dominos literally "fly" off the board.
PlayThe scoring of Jamaican dominos varies. In the traditional scoring scheme - four (4) players play to give "Six love" - that is all four (4) players win games in order to "Nil" each other, any player of the four who does not win any round before a player reaches six(6) wins is said to have gotten "Nil" or "six-love". Other variants of the scoring scheme include the same (0-6) concept but players "up" the limit from six(6) to ten(10) or more (10+)...
PlayIn the above mentioned scoring, the game type would be "Cut-Throat" with a "every player for themselves" attitude, which is one of the two types of donimo games that Jamaicans love to play with the other type being "Partner". In Partner Game players facing each other "partner-up" and score togather in an effort to nil the other team.
