Our Expert Score

82/100

Chickenfoot Dominoes is a faithful digital adaptation of the classic family game. If you've ever played this around a kitchen table, you'll appreciate how the app handles the 'chickenfoot' mechanic—where a double tile forces players to branch out three new paths. It keeps the board from getting too cluttered while maintaining the strategic depth of the game.

The AI is surprisingly competent, offering a decent challenge even for experienced players. However, the game really shines in local multiplayer or 'Pass and Play' mode. The UI is clean and functional, making it easy to see the score and the available moves. It’s not a flashy game, but it doesn't need to be; it’s a solid, dependable version of a great tradition that fits right in your pocket.

Tips

Rules of the Foot

The game starts with a high double (usually the double-9). Players take turns matching tiles. When a double is played, it must be 'filled' with three tiles (the chicken foot) before anyone can play elsewhere on the board. The round ends when one player runs out of tiles or the game is blocked. Count your pips—lowest score wins!

Gameplays

Solo and Multiplayer Options

Challenge up to 3 AI players with adjustable skill levels. You can also play with friends using the pass-and-play feature. Customize your game by choosing the starting double (9-9 or 12-12) and toggle rules like 'mandatory draw' to suit your preferred style of play.

Q&A

When a double tile is played, three new branches must be started from it before play can continue elsewhere. These three branches look like a chicken's foot.
