2–4 players · 45 min · 8+

Nougat is a domino climbing game for 2 to 4 players that uses a single set of double-nine dominoes (for 2 players, you only need a single set of double-six dominoes).

The goal of the game is to shed all of your tiles before the other players by playing melds of singles or suited runs of two or more tiles. When you start a trick, you may only lead a single tile. A single tile can be beaten by a higher single or by a run of 2; a run of 2 can be beaten by a higher run of 2 or by a run of 3; and so on.

The first player to shed out wins one point. The first player to score two points wins the game.

With 4 players, you can play as individuals or in 2v2 teams. The team variant is recommended.
