At the beginning of a game, when all the dominoes have been turned face-down and shuffled, the collection of ramdomized tiles if referred to as the "boneyard". Players draw tiles from the boneyard to form their hands. The remaining tiles are also called the boneyard. Also known as the "reserve".
A pool of face down tiles from which players draw their hands. No tiles are stacked on top of each other. This is the most common way of handling tiles in Western domino games. Each player can draw any tile he wishes from the boneyard and is not obligated to pick a particular tile in his turn. Tiles are also drawn one at a time. See woodpile.
