## Description

_Win42_ is a single player, shareware game that is based on a domino game
known as just _42_. _42_ is a domino game played predominately in the South
central United States and has been referred to as ‘the national game of
Texas’.

Briefly this is a like a card game played with dominoes. In _42_ dominoes are
said to have suits just like the suits in cards, one end of the domino will
determine it’s suit while the other will determine it’s rank so a 2-6 is the
highest domino in the ‘2’ suit while 6-2 is a low domino in the ‘6’ suit. It
is a game for four players playing in pairs, in this implementation the
computer plays both partner and both opponents, that is played with a standard
set of dominoes – i.e. the biggest domino is double six.

Each hand starts with a bidding phase in which each player states how many
points they think they and their partner can score. Whichever player makes the
highest bid wins the contract and the right to nominate trumps as in a card
game. The hand is then played and scoring is based on the number of tricks
taken. A detailed description of the game can be found here
