About the Cross Dominoes leaderboard
This board ranks the fastest completed games of Cross Dominoes by finish time. Cross Dominoes opens with a ritual: the first tile must be a double, and the next four plays all attach to it, one on each side, building a cross at the centre of the table - a game rated Four arms, more choices where near 50/50 - arm management separates players.
How ranking works
- Only completed (won) games count, and every result is checked for a plausible time and move count before it's listed.
- Ties break toward fewer moves, rewarding efficient counting as well as speed.
- Signed-in players keep a permanent name on the board and sync records across devices; guests can still post a display name.
- Switch between Today, This Week, This Month and All Time above to see recent form or lifetime bests.
What counts as a good Cross time?
Times vary a lot by player and by shuffle, but here's a rough guide to aim for:
| Just learning | Winning at all is the win - don't watch the clock yet. |
|---|---|
| Casual player | A comfortable, unhurried game, usually a few minutes. |
| Getting good | Quick, confident placements with almost no wasted draws. |
| Speed runner | Single hands in under a minute - clean, decisive counting. |
The fastest way to climb this board isn't frantic clicking - it's making fewer, smarter plays so the clock barely moves while you count.
