Domino is a classic board game played with dominoes – small rectangular tiles with dots on their faces to indicate numbers or symbols that can be combined to form combinations – played using small rectangular tiles called dominoes. When completed correctly, dominoes provide hours of enjoyable entertainment that span from children to seniors alike – as a great way to pass time or even used educationally in schools.

Most dominoes today are typically constructed out of polymers like bakelite or celluloid; however, sets made out of natural materials like bone or silver lip ocean pearl oyster shell (mother-of-pearl) or marble may offer an elegant appearance and feel while being more expensive than their plastic-based counterparts.

Some sets of dominoes can be used for positional games, with each domino positioned edge-to-edge against another domino with one of its pips facing up and the other down, then pushed or tipped over in an ongoing chain reaction that eventually leads to all dominoes falling over at once. Other forms of dominoes require them to be placed so as to form specific patterns such as seven-of-a-kinds.

Dominoes can provide children with an enjoyable way to learn mathematics and problem-solving, while at the same time teaching fundamental physics principles. A 1983 experiment by University of British Columbia physicist Lorne Whitehead proved that when set up correctly dominoes can topple objects about 1.5 times their own weight if set correctly.

People of all ages love domino shows, where builders compete to design the most intricate domino installations. A skilled builder can craft long, intricate chains that take several nail-biting minutes to fall, while Hevesh, an esteemed domino artist with over two million YouTube subscribers, designs complex installations that may take hours or days to finish.

“Domino” is an allegory for large and impactful events that can have both positive or negative results for an individual, situation, or goal. When undertaking tasks that seem too large for us to manage, breaking them up into manageable steps may make the task less overwhelming; creating a financial plan would be an example of this process that could act like dominoes on its way towards accomplishing its goal.

Undercover projects or initiatives are widely used in business to enact change that has an immediate and significant effect on a company and its customers. On an episode of Undercover Boss, Domino’s CEO Don Meij went undercover to study how their deliveries were managed – leading him to make changes that increased customer experience while increasing employee retention rates.
