paths from the beginning double must be satisfied before play to other areas can
begin.
  4. Subsequently, each time a double is played, it must be satisfied with three “toes”
before other play can commence.

must draw from the boneyard if unable to play.
  6. Until a double has been satisfied, the responsibility falls to each player in turn.
  7. If a player goes out playing a double, the double does not need to be satisfied.
  8. Play continues until one player goes out or all the bones have been chosen and
no one is able to play.
  9. At the end of each round, players must turn their remaining bones face up until
the scorekeeper records all scores (total remaining dots).  The double blank counts
zero.
 10. Score sheets for all tables will be compared to determine the winner.  The
player with the lowest total score is the winner.
