    DOMINO

    History of Dominoes
    Dominoes (or dominos) is a game played with rectangular “domino” tiles. The domino
    gaming pieces make up a domino set, sometimes called a deck or pack. A domino set may consist of
    different numbers of tiles and dots. The traditional Sino-European domino set consists of 28
    dominoes.

    Dominoes are called bones because the earliest domino tiles were made from animal bones
    or ivory. In addition to "bones", dominoes are also called tiles, stones, men, tickets, or spinners.

    Each domino is a rectangular tile with a line dividing its face into two square ends. Each end
    is marked with a number of spots (also called pips) or is blank. The word "pip" commonly means a
    spot or a speck, and perhaps that's why a domino's spots are called "pips".

    Evidences show that tile games have been found in China as early as 1120 CE. Some historians
    credit Keung T'ai Kung, in the 12th century BCE for creating them. Other historians stated that
    dominoes were invented by a statesman named Chu sz yam in 1120 CE.

    How to Play Domino


    SHUFFLING THE DOMINOES
    • Before you start a game, the dominoes must be shuffled to make a boneyard. You need to shuffle
    the tiles all face down moving them in random motion.

    DECIDE WHO WILL MAKE THE FIRST MOVE


    • Each of the players choose a domino at random, with first move going to the player holding the
    "heavier" domino (these dominoes are returned to the boneyard and reshuffled).
    • The players draw their allotted number of tiles (which varies according to the game being played),
    and the holder of the "heaviest" domino goes first.

    DRAWING TILES
    • Once you begin drawing tiles, they are typically placed on-edge so that you and your opponent can
    see your own tiles, but none can see the value of other players’ tiles. Every player can thus see how
    many tiles remain in the other players hands at all times during the game.

    PLACING THE FIRST TILE


    • After you and your opponent have drawn dominoes, the first player places the first tile, usually a
    double-six, on the table. If no one holds the double-six, then the double-five is played, and so on.

    PLAYING SUBSEQUENT TILE


    • You can only put domino tiles to “open ends”, i.e., no other tile is connected to it.
    • A double tile is usually placed cross-ways in the layout, straddling the end of the tile that it is
    connected to.
    • All four sides of a double are open allowing dominoes to be connected in all four directions.

    DRAWING A TILE FROM THE BONEYARD ("DRAW" GAMES)


    OR YOU MUST "PASS" IF YOU CANNOT MAKE A MOVE
    ("BLOCK" GAMES)
    • As you take turns placing tiles with your opponent, if someone cannot make a move, you can do
    either two things. In block games (or if there are no tiles left in the boneyard), you must "pass" if you
    cannot make a move.

    • In a draw game, you can draw a tile from the boneyard. Depending on the game, you can then either
    play it (if it fits, and if the rules allow), pass (if he cannot play the drawn tile), or continue drawing
    until you can make a move or the boneyard is empty.

    ENDING A GAME
    • The game ends when you have played all your tiles, or when a game is blocked. When you play
    your last tile, tradition requires you to say “DOMINO!” (when this happens, the other players are said
    to have been dominoed.) A game is blocked when no player is able to add another tile to the layout.

    • When playing a multi-round game, domino games are typically scored by awarding the number of
    pips on opposing player's tiles to the winner.

    • Doubles may be counted as one or two (if one, a 6-6 counts as 6; if two, a 6-6 counts as 12), and
    double-blank may either count as 0 or 14. (These rule variations must be agreed upon before the
    game begins!) The player who reaches the target score (100, 200, or whatever is agreed on among
    the players), or the player who amasses the most points in a given number of rounds wins the game.

    DOMINO GAME TIPS


    1. SET DOWN DOUBLES EARLY
    Do not get stuck with doubles. Lay them down early in the game or whenever you have the
    opportunity. Domino Tips

    2. SET DOWN YOUR HEAVIER TILES EARLY


    Play your heavier tiles early in the game so you won't be caught with a high score of points for
    your opponent. Domino Tips

    3. HOLD ON TO A VARIETY OF SUITS


    Try to keep as many different suits as you can in your hand as long as you can. This will give
    you a range of options when it comes to the tiles you can set down and prevent you from being unable
    to make a play at all and having to pass on your play. Domino Tips

    4. NOTE YOUR OPPONENTS WEAK SUITS


    Take note of the tiles your opponent doesn’t have. This will allow you to block them later in
    the game. Domino Tips

    5. WORK OUT YOUR OPPONENT'S HAND5


    Study the layout of already played tiles and the tiles in your own hand to guess what your
    opponents are holding in their hands. You'll soon learn which tiles in your own hand to play to block
    your opponents. Domino Tips

    6. ALWAYS BE AWARE OF THE BOARD COUNT


    This is the total of all open ends on the layout. In games like Fives, players score points when
    the board count is a multiple of five. Domino Tips

    7. EVALUATE THE TILES IN YOUR HAND AND HOW THEY CAN CHANGE THE BOARD
    COUNT
    Determine the difference between suit values on either end of a tile so you quickly know how
    they will change the board count. For example, 5 and 3 on each end will change the board count by
    2. Connecting the lower end to the open ends of the layout will raise the board count, while
    connecting the higher suit will lower the board count. Domino Tips

    8. USE BLOCKING STRATEGIES NEAR THE END OF A POINT GAME


    When the opportunities for scoring points diminish Domino Tips

    9. CONTROL AND MANIPULATE THE BOARD COUNT


    Push the board count up when you can set down scoring tiles, and down when you can't.
    Knowing the suits your opponent does and doesn't hold will help you alter the board count
    accordingly, allowing you to prevent opponents from setting down scoring tiles. Domino Tips
