In a game of 42 dominoes a player bids 42 and then the next player to bid also wants to go 42. What happens and which bid should take it?
Two different people cannot each bid one mark....RED AG 98 said:
42 is one mark. After one mark, all following bids are also only in marks. We play the max one person can bump the bid is two marks. Also means 2 marks is the max opening bid. So after 1 mark, the next person can pass, bid 1 mark, or bid 2 marks.

Nello is an acceptable bid at any time in the bidding process. By nature it is a 1 mark hand. The bidder must lose every hand to win. Therefore the bid contractor is stronger than any other none 42 bid.

Those are the real rules.

Q. What's the bid?
Depends on where my partner and I are in the game. If we are down then it is a one mark hand. If we are up then depends on the bids around me but probably 35. You can be trump set and screwed real quick if they are stacked. I think the 5 off works out in the end though. I have been trump set too many times with a hand like that to not at least have it in the back of my mind.WestTxWood88 said:

I have played it for $$ that way. It does slow down a lot of the crazy 37 type bids and overbids.hellapark said:
Have any of y'all played 42 by keeping score rather than using marks? I learned to play this way and didn't play using marks till I got to A&M. Marks are easier to keep track of, esp when beer is involved.
Play to 250, rather than 7 marks.
Lowest bid is still 30, outbid up to 42, the 84. But you get the points you win in you and your partners won hands. Other team gets whatever scraps they manage to pick up.
The fun part is when some one is set. If you set someone, you get their bid and whatever you picked up in setting them. Gives the game a little more strategy on playing defense and keeps people from getting to crazy in bidding when all that's up for grabs is a single mark.
I rarely meet anyone outside my home county that knows how to play this way.

If people are going nello too often, get better at setting them.
Your only hope is to first not get trump set and then to run everything out and play the double 5 then the 5 blank. You could try playing the double 5 early after the trump are gone to try and through people off your trail, but it is risky.Thisguy1 said:
