<p>In a game of muggins, do you count a  double 5 as 10 or just 5? Since some people have been saying that a double 5 you only count one side. From my knowledge you count both sides of the domino; for example double 5 = 10, double 3 = 6.</p>

"Count" for what purposes? And also what specific game are you playing? "Dominoes" by itself is not a game, it's like saying "cards". There are lots of different games you can play with a set of Dominoes.

For example muggins and the game is blocked and no one can play anymore. The player with the least amount of pipes on their cards wins. Now do you count a card like double 5 as 10. Some people say that it only counts as 5

All pips count, so a double five, having ten pips, counts for 10.
