Domineering Drift

Claim the board two squares at a time — and adapt as gravity slides every domino downward each turn.

How to play

Take turns placing dominoes; the player who can no longer place one loses, so the last to move wins.

• One side places tall vertical dominoes, the other places wide horizontal ones
• At the start of every turn, all pieces drift down one row if space allows
• Legal placements are highlighted for you

Controls

• Desktop: click a highlighted anchor cell to place your domino
• Phone & tablet: full touch support — tap to place

Game modes

• Versus computer — Easy, Medium, or Hard
• Two-player hotseat on one device
• Online multiplayer

Tips & strategy

• Predict where the drift will leave gaps before you commit
• Crowd your opponent's orientation — deny the space their pieces need
• Save a guaranteed move for the endgame squeeze
