What is Domino Duel?
Domino Duel is an original PapoGames board title built for crisp, satisfying play in the browser. The table uses a club-parlor look — walnut rails, deep green felt, and ivory faces with clear ebony pips — so every placement reads instantly. Four modes cover solo practice (VS AI with four distinct difficulties), couch multiplayer (Pass & Play with a device handoff screen), a single-round Quick Game, and a championship-style Tournament. Standard scoring awards the winner the sum of the loser’s remaining pips; blocked games resolve by pip difference. Everything runs client-side with no install, localStorage stats, and full pause-on-tab-switch support.
