Jamaican Cut Throat Dominoes
Cut Throat in Six Love is a four-player Jamaican dominoes mode with no partners. Every player keeps an individual score, races to the target hands, and deals with Jamaican twists like One All Play Two and Game Bruk.
Cut Throat rules can vary by table. This page describes the Cut Throat variation implemented in Six Love.
What Is Cut Throat in Six Love?
Cut Throat is the every-player-for-themselves side of Six Love. Instead of North-South versus East-West teams, all four players compete individually. There are no partners, no shared team score, and the leaderboard path is separate from partner ranked play.
The mode keeps the Jamaican dominoes feel: a double-six set, no boneyard, legal passing, blocking, double-six posing on reset hands, table energy, taunts, and match targets.
How Cut Throat Scoring Works
Individual Scores
Each player has their own hands-won score. Winning a normal hand adds one point for that player only.
Target Hands
Players race to the selected target hand count, with short targets and full matches available in the app.
Game Bruk
Reaching the target ends the match only while at least one other player is still on zero.
One All Play Two
When all four Cut Throat players reach an exact 1-1-1-1 scoreline in Six Love, One All Play Two activates. The next reset hand opens with the double-six pose. The winner of that hand gets two points, and the other players reset to zero.
If the One All Play Two hand ties, the mode redeals and keeps the double-six reset active until there is a winner.
Game Bruk
Game Bruk happens when the last player gets off the "Love". In Six Love Cut Throat, the scores reset to 0-0-0-0 and the next hand opens with a double-six pose.
One All Play Two can happen again after Game Bruk cycles, so the mode can swing quickly even after everyone has won a hand.
