Domino is an enjoyable way to develop fine motor skills, language abilities and recognize objects and shapes while at the same time practicing counting skills. Domino can be played indoors or out; its popularity among children makes it particularly engaging!
Dominoes can be arranged in various patterns: straight, curved and even circularly. Some people even constructed a 15-color spiral out of them in 2017! Most people associate dominoes with being straight lines of color that people arrange on tables or floors; however, other variations exist that involve playing them with your hands instead of rolling them on surfaces like tables and floors.
A domino is composed of 28 small oblongs (typically twice as long as wide), each bearing between one and six pips arranged on both halves, usually colored black or white, that have their value determined by the number of spots per domino: those with greater value have more spots while blank or zero-pipped dominos have none.
There are various games played with dominoes, including positional ones. Here, a domino is placed next to another that matches its value; players attempt to match their own dominoes against those of opponents so as to empty their hands and win the game.
Typically, the more dominoes a player has in his hand, the greater his scoring potential is. In positional games such as Dominoes can also be used in scoring and blocking games to determine who wins first;
Fives and Threes, a variant of dominoes, is an enjoyable scoring game that is commonly enjoyed in British public houses and social clubs. Players place dominoes so that their sum divides evenly by five or three; when adding one of these types of dominoes onto an already laid out row of already played dominoes to create rows, points are scored accordingly.
Dominoes have a rich history both worldwide and in the US. Domino’s Pizza has utilized its core values to guide changes in operations and policy decisions; for instance, adding new delivery and pickup methods. As an example, this company now employs over 100,000 delivery drivers with its custom designed vehicle; further developments with robotic and drone deliveries could soon follow suit.
Domino’s has learned through experience the importance of listening to both its customers and employees, leading it to introduce policies such as flexible work hours and relaxed dress codes as well as leadership training programs and college recruitment systems based around listening. Focusing on listening has allowed Domino’s to go beyond simply serving delicious pizzas; their dedication has helped ensure more than delicious products!
