Standard double-9 Chicken Foot.
Chicken Foot is a domino game built around one signature rule: every double played creates a three-pronged branch that must be filled before play can continue elsewhere. The game is usually played across multiple rounds, and the lowest cumulative pip total wins.
Choose the domino set size and starting double. Shuffle the tiles face down, deal the agreed hand size, and leave the rest as a boneyard. A round begins by placing the round's starting double in the center. Players take turns matching open ends. When a double is played, the next three matching tiles must be placed diagonally on that double to complete the chicken foot before other branches can be played. If a player cannot play, they draw under the group's draw rule. A round ends when someone dominoes or the game blocks, then players score the pips left in hand.
Add pips left in hand each round; lowest total wins.
