General Rules:
1: After drawing tiles, each player places their bid. The highest bidder sets which tiles act as trumps...a special kind of suit that beats any other kind of tile.
2. The leading player may set down any tile he/she wishes. If a non-trump is played, the leading tile is highest number on the tile. Doubles are considered the highest tile of any suit. The rest of the players MUST follow suit if they can. If they do not possess any matching tiles, then they can play a trump. Otherwise, they will automatically lose the trick.
3. A player may wish to “Shoot the Moon” with a bid of 21. They must win all the tricks in order to make this bid. Depending on the House Rules, a bid of 21 will end all bidding.
4. If the winning bidder fails to make their bid, their bid will be subtracted from their overall score.

Great game!

I love playing the Texas 42 game, and I can tell I will fall in love with this game just the same. Thank you!
Yes! Finally a moon app for my iphone!

Absolutely love the look and feel of this app. It's a much quicker pace than 42 and you can play a full game in just a few minutes. Can't wait for multiplayer to come out.
Great companion to Texas 42!

I'm a big fan of the Texas 42 app, and this game is just as fun. Moon has helped me improve my bidding and the play is fast-paced but easy to follow. Great graphics and excellent AI. It's been a great way to pass the time over the holidays.
Works fine, but...

I'd like to see the "Shoot Creepers" option in the bidding: bidder takes no tricks. This bid can be overridden only by Shooting high (to take all tricks). If successful, bidder scores the same as if he'd shot high instead of low.
It's about time! :-) Love it!

We love the new game! Shoot the Moon has a great scoreboard feature so you can see a tally of wins and losses. It's a fun, fast-paced game, and challenging, too! Great job!
Good but could use work

Defensive play needs help in two areas. When discarding they throw high doubles and save double Ace and Blank. Appears to be no intelligence at all. Next, if a defender has two trump, say the 4-6 and 4-2 he will always trump in with the highest leaving the other one useless. Also, once a player has all remaining tricks he should be able to "claim".
Great Texas Moon app

After playing 39 games with this Moon app, and years of playing Moon in Texas, I can assure you that this is a good app that is worth buying.
Not worth the price

Has glitches and isn't made according to the correct rules of moon. I only paid this much because I love moon. If you don't love it, don't buy this app.
True rules

Enjoy playing the game, but this is not true Texas Moon. True rules (per every domino hall I played) follow me must lead with DOUBLE BLANK. Low bid is 5 not 4, that only for beginners. If you bid 5 (are whatever) and you make 6 are 7 you get ALL THE POINTS, not just your bid points. The game is 21 points to win but ONLY 21 in the hole, NO MORE. Also I don't see where you can double shout. I guess that would be Vegas rules.
