Learn to play Texas 42, considered the "national game of Texas."

The domino game 42 is a game of luck, skill, and strategy ... and it can be really confusing. Taught in an easygoing environment by a lifelong 42 player, this introductory class will teach you the basics of playing the “national game of Texas.”

The class is beginning level for absolute newcomers to the game. It is free and open to the public. Registration is not required. 

Two-hour opportunity to practice your newfound skills

Many attendees of the recent 42 class asked for more time to practice. If you're a beginner to Texas 42, join us for a chance to practice playing the game. We'll have tables set up and dominoes available. Experienced players will be on hand to answer questions. This is not a class; it's just a great opportunity to practice what you've learned. 

Even if you did not attend the class, if you consider yourself a beginner to the game, you're invited to practice. (If you need a refresher, you'll find the class slideshow here, and you can download the Texas 42 Reference Sheet here.)
