DOMINO GAMES

Domino tiles have crossed centuries and seas. First noted in 13th-century China, the shiny bones later reached Italy, France, and beyond. Mass production in the 1800s turned once-rare ivory pieces into pocket-friendly sets that landed on kitchen tables around the world.

People gather around dominoes for simple reasons. The rules are easy to grasp, yet the choices feel deep. You can chat with family, plan a sneaky block, or race a partner to open ends. A single match often sparks laughter, light strategy, and a wish for one more round.

The core idea is clear, match pips. In a classic Block game you lay a tile or pass. In Draw, you dip into a boneyard until luck smiles. Scoring titles like All Fives add math twists, while Mexican Train and Chicken Foot let every player start fresh branches. Larger sets such as Double-Twelve widen the field for bigger groups.

Modern tech keeps the tradition alive. HTML5 sites and mobile apps let you play on lunch breaks or train rides. Whether you enjoy quick solo puzzles or live tournaments, dominoes reward steady memory, smart timing, and a calm smile when that perfect double shows up.
