French term or phrase: convenir pioche
Chaque joueur joue à son tour et l’on continue ainsi une chaîne dont les parties voisines ont le même nombre de points. Les doubles se placent transversalement. Le joueur qui n’a pas le domino qui convient pioche en prenant une à une les pièces du talon jusqu’à ce qu’il trouve un domino qui convient.

neutral  Colin Rowe: The player is trying to match a domino that has been played and picks up from the pile (of dominos that have not yet been played). It is not possible to match the pile, since the dominos in the pile are face down.//The played ones are face up.
6 mins
  -> I always thought that the dominos were face up, so that you could see the dots.
