# Game Mode 1️⃣
***How the game is played:*** The game will restart automatically in case a player serves 5 or more doubles.
The player with the double six starts the first round. While with 3 players or less the highest double starts the game (double 5, double 4, double 3, double 2, double 1, if there is no double 6). In case there is no double at the start of the round, the player with the highest tile starts, this only applies for 2 or 3 players.
After placing the first tile, the next players must join a tile from their hand with an open end on the playing line.
Then, in the second round, the player to their right follows, counterclockwise, and so on.
The ends of the two joining tiles must have the same number of pints. If a player cannot make a move with his hand, he must draw tiles from the graveyard until he draws a playable tile. If a player cannot make a move with his hand and there are no tiles left in the graveyard, the player must skip his turn until he can make a move.
***Scoring:*** A player receives points each time he makes a move that results in the open ends of the checkers in the line of play totaling a multiple of 5. (5 points for 5 pints; 10 points for 10 pints; 15 points for 15 pints, and so on).
The player who wins the round also receives points at the end of each hand by adding and rounding to the nearest multiple of 5, the pints of the tiles remaining in the hands of his opponents.
Only 1 or 2 pints are worth nothing; 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are worth 5 points; 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 are worth 10 points; and so on. The first player to reach 200 points wins the game.
If a player reaches 200 points during the game, the game ends at that point. If points are counted at the end of a hand and more than one player has a score of 200 or more, the player with the higher score wins.
If two or more players have tied scores to define the winner, all the tiles are turned over, each player must draw a tile at random and the player who draws the tile with the lowest number of pints is the winner.
***In case of deadlock with a tie:*** no points are scored for any player, Example: Deadlocked game and there are 4 points left for each player = the points are not distributed and in the next hand the player who was the hand in that deadlocked hand is the winner.
***Scoring if the hand is locked:*** The player with the lowest number of points adds up those of his opponents minus his own, the second player with the lowest number of points adds up those of his opponents minus his own, and so on. If a player ends up with a negative total, no points are scored.
***Graveyard:*** In case of 3 players or less; players take 7 tiles each, leaving the remaining tiles on one side of the table, the player who has no tiles in his hand must "take" tiles from the graveyard, one by one, until he finds one that can be placed in that round.
