Domino is a small rectangular block used as a gaming object. Also referred to as bone, piece, or men, dominoes can be found made of both wood and plastic materials. One domino is placed at the edge of a table or other flat surface and then another domino stacked upon it in either an orderly fashion or with overlaps, either lined up vertically or overlapping one after another until all dominoes have been laid atop each other in line and overturned by tipping. Each domino that falls over can then be overturned further along its line until all have fallen over altogether. Chain reactions often form the basis for domino games in which players compete to build the most comprehensive or appealing layout. Domino is also used as a term referring to events within social or economic systems – this usage gives rise to the phrase “domino effect.”
A domino set consists of 28 small oblong blocks marked with dots similar to those on dice, typically six. This corresponds to each domino’s spots being assigned one of six possible results when two dice are rolled simultaneously. Early sets were often constructed of wood; nowadays however most dominoes are constructed using polymers or other durable materials.
In many domino games, domino numbers are used to match numbers on different dominoes with one another. Each side of a domino bears an arrangement of spots called pips which correspond to certain suits – for instance 0-6 belong to sixes suit. Some domino games such as Bergen & Muggins count sum of all opposing player pips for scoring purposes while other such as Matador, Chicken Foot or Mexican Train involve blocking opponents’ play.
Dominoes offer children an educational or therapy tool to use dominoes to match pictures or letters as part of an educational or therapy game. As children play, they can discuss what images match up as dominoes match them together – making a great way for kids to learn how to recognize letters, count correctly and practice letter recognition! They may also be used for teaching family member names or landmark locations.
Domino is an enjoyable activity to do as a family. Suitable for playing solo, with groups, or teams; domino can provide hours of fun for people of all ages! Domino can even be played anywhere – even with food!
