  42 (dominoes) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As there are 42 points in the game (one point for each of the 7 tricks, plus 35 points from the 6-4, 5-5, 3-2, 4-1, and 5-0 dominoes), the maximum bid would be 42--with one exception.
Each domino is considered to belong to the suit of its higher end, unless that domino contains the number of the trump suit, in which case it is considered a member of the trump suit.

When all 4 players have played a domino, the winner of that trick is the player who played the highest domino in the suit that was led, or the highest trump (remember, the trump suit is always the highest suit).
This is because most 84 hands will have an "off" domino in them which the player hopes will end up being the highest domino in the trick by the end of the hand (or else the player hopes that his or her partner will win that last trick).
Dominoes that have a high value on both sides are the best to keep until the end of the hand, such as the 6-5, 6-4, 5-4, etc., because they have the potential to end up being the highest remaining domino in 2 different suits.
