A domino is a small rectangular wood or plastic block that has one face blank or marked with dots that resemble those on dice. It is used in a game with other dominoes, where the player aims to build a line of dominoes by adding one domino on top of another until it reaches its end. The first domino to fall is called the aces and the remaining blocks are called pips. Dominoes can also be referred to as bones, cards, or men and are typically twice as long as they are wide.
Dominos are normally held in the hand with both hands and a domino set is usually placed on the table so that all players can see its value. After each player draws his dominoes, a single tile is played and the chain begins. Each subsequent tile must be played to the right or left of the open ends (which are marked with numbers) of the previous domino. When a double is played, it may be touched at both ends or perpendicular to the line of play, but it must not be touching any adjacent dominoes.
Using a domino set to play a variety of games helps players develop their visual memory and math skills. Players can also develop the ability to read their opponents and anticipate their moves by studying their own hands and the available pips on the other players’ tiles. A good domino player is able to keep track of the pips in their own and opponent’s hands at all times during gameplay, and is able to estimate what type of tile to draw next.
The most popular game with a domino set is probably draw, where each player takes turns drawing two tiles from the stack and placing them on the table so that their matching ends are touching. The player then plays a domino adjacent to the double until the chains are completed. Players can also play against each other by blocking their opponents’ play, and a number of scoring games exist where the player who has the most pips in his or her hand at the end of the round wins.
