Maybe it's a southern thing but I have just been cheated out of a victory at dominoes because of the blanks not meaning I can place my dominoe anywhere.

They say blanks are equivalent to a number so it can only go next to a blank, what are the real rules? I feel cheated. 18 years of dominoes being a lie until now.
 
Wikipedia said:
The value of each end of a bone is determined by the number of spots on the end, with zero (blank) being the lowest and six being the highest. The rank of a bone is determined by the combined number of pips on the two ends. This rank is sometimes referred to as the bone's weight so that a higher ranking bone is called a heavier bone while a lower ranking bone is called lighter.

* 0 is referred to as "Blank" (this is common in Jamaica and the UK)
* 1 is referred to as "Ace" (common in Jamaica, pronounced as "Ess" - like this letter "S")
* 2 is referred to as "Deuce" (this is occasional in the UK - common in Jamaica and where cards are played)
* 3 is referred to as "Trey" (this is occasional in the UK - common in Jamaica and where cards are played)
* 6-6 is referred to as "The Dog!" (because of the high point value, common in California)
