GAMEPLAY
​
A game of Sleemo is usually played for a set number of rounds, usually between 3 to five. Within each round, the player with the lowest value double or lowest value tile opens. Play then proceeds through consecutive turns for each player, until one player has used all the tiles in their stock. A game of Sleemo is played through continuous rounds until a set score is of 100, 300 or 500 points is reached.
​
THE ROUND
​
The Deal: The dealer places the tiles face down and shuffles them. Players then draw 3 tiles to add to their stock.
​
Determine First Player:
The player with the highest double goes first. The double Sylop beats a double 6.
If no player has a double, players roll the die. The highest scorer goes first.
​
PLAYER TURN
​
The first player may lay any tile. Each player then takes a turn, proceeding clockwise.
On their turn, a player matches one end of a tile in their stock to an open Sabaccino end in the tableau. The ends of the tile must be the same value.
​
When a player cannot place a tile, they roll the die. They must then draw that many tiles from the Boneyard and add it to their stock.
​
The player may make a legal move using any of the new tiles if possible. If they still cannot place, they pass on their turn.
​
CONSECUTIVE TILES
​
If you play a tile that features consecutive values (i.e., a tile with 1 and 2, or 4 and 5), then you may force any opponent to turn over a tile (of your choice) in their stock. They will not be able to use that tile on their next turn. After that, it becomes playable again.
​
SCORING
​
Play continues until one player has used all of their tiles, or their are no possible moves remaining.
​
The sum of the values on the remaining tiles in every opponent's stock are summed up, and added to the winner's score.
​
ENDING THE GAME

The game is played through continuous rounds until one player reaches a set score is of 100, 300 or 500 points.
