What is 42 regular?

42 regular is a traditional domino game that is popular in the southern United States, especially in Texas. It is a partnership game that can be played with two, three, or four players. The game uses a set of double-six dominoes, with each player choosing seven dominoes to start the game.

The objective of the game is to be the first partnership to reach a total of 42 points. Points are earned by laying dominoes on the table in an attempt to make multiples of five. For example, if a player lays a domino with a 1 on one end and a 4 on the other end, they score five points. If a player lays a double (domino with identical numbers on both ends), they score the total number of pips on the domino.

42 regular is a strategic game that requires players to pay attention to their opponents' moves and make calculated decisions on which dominoes to play. There are many variations on the rules of the game, and it is often played with a "bid" system where players must bid on how many points they think their team can score in a particular round.

Overall, 42 regular is a fun and challenging game that requires both skill and luck. It has a rich history and cultural significance in the southern United States, and continues to be a popular game for players of all ages.
