![]() ![]() The traditional domino set contains one unique piece for each possible combination of two ends with zero to six spots, and is known as a double-six set because the highest-value piece has six pips on each end (the "double six"). Sometimes, the tiles have a metal pin (called a spinner or pivot) in the middle. Such sets are lightweight, compact, and inexpensive, and like cards are more susceptible to minor disturbances such as a sudden breeze. Occasionally, one may find a domino set made of card stock like that for playing cards. Modern sets also commonly use a different color for the dots of each different end value (one-spots might have black pips while two-spots might be green, three red, etc.) to facilitate finding matching ends. Modern commercial domino sets are usually made of synthetic materials, such as ABS or polystyrene plastics, or Bakelite and other phenolic resins many sets approximate the look and feel of ivory while others use colored or even translucent plastics to achieve a more contemporary look. These sets have a more novel look, and the often heavier weight makes them feel more substantial also, such materials and the resulting products are usually much more expensive than polymer materials. Alternatively, domino sets have been made from many different natural materials: stone (e.g., marble, granite or soapstone) other woods (e.g., ash, oak, redwood, and cedar) metals (e.g., brass or pewter) ceramic clay, or even frosted glass or crystal. Some sets feature the top half thickness in MOP, ivory, or bone, with the lower half in ebony. Construction and composition of domino sets Įuropean-style dominoes are traditionally made of bone, silver lip ocean pearl oyster shell (mother of pearl), ivory, or a dark hardwood such as ebony, with contrasting black or white pips ( inlaid or painted). : 181–182 In Britain, the most popular league and pub game is Fives and Threes.ĭominoes have sometimes been used for divination, such as bone throwing in Chinese culture and in the African diaspora. Other popular forms include Texas 42, Chicken Foot, Concentration, Double Fives, and Mexican Train. The most commonly played domino games are Domino Whist, Matador, and Muggins (All Fives). ![]() Despite the coinage of the word " polyomino" as a generalization, there is no connection between the word "domino" and the number 2 in any language. The name "domino" is probably derived from the resemblance to a kind of carnival costume worn during the Venetian Carnival, often consisting of a black-hooded robe and a white mask. ![]() European dominoes may have developed independently, or Italian missionaries in China may have brought the game to Europe. Modern dominoes first appeared in Italy during the 18th century, but they differ from Chinese dominoes in a number of respects, and there is no confirmed link between the two. The earliest mention of dominoes is from Song dynasty China found in the text Former Events in Wulin by Zhou Mi (1232–1298). Another form of entertainment using domino pieces is the practice of domino toppling.Ī boxed domino set dating from the late 19th or early 20th century A domino set is a generic gaming device, similar to playing cards or dice, in that a variety of games can be played with a set. The traditional European domino set consists of 28 tiles, also known as pieces, bones, rocks, stones, men, cards or just dominoes, featuring all combinations of spot counts between zero and six. The gaming pieces make up a domino set, sometimes called a deck or pack. The backs of the tiles in a set are indistinguishable, either blank or having some common design. Each end is marked with a number of spots (also called pips or dots) or is blank. ![]() Each domino is a rectangular tile, usually with a line dividing its face into two square ends.
