There are many different domino sets in use around the world and there are a great number of games that can be played using them. While the rules of the particular game will vary from place to place, they will often be based on some common principles.
The domino set consists of rectangular tiles with an arrangement of spots or pips on one side and blank or identically patterned on the other. The dominoes are normally twice as long as they are wide, making it easy to stack them on top of each other. Each domino has a line or ridge running through the center to divide it visually into two squares called ends. The value of either end is indicated by the number of dots or pips in that square, or in some cases by a numeral symbol. A domino with more pips is said to be heaver than a domino with fewer pips.
Each domino is also marked on the edge with a number which indicates its rank or value in a given set. The ranking system is similar to that used on playing cards. The values range from six pips down to none or a blank.
Depending on the particular game, the first play may be determined by the player with the highest ranking tile in their hand, the player with the lowest ranking tile in their hand, or the holder of the only double in their hand (called a spinner). In some games a player is allowed to buy a domino from the stock if it is not their turn. This process is called byeing.
Once the dominoes have been arranged and placed on the table, players will begin placing tiles in a line, or string, across each other. Each tile must be positioned so that its matching end touches the adjacent end of a previously played domino. This way a domino chain develops that can increase in length as each player takes their turn.
It is important to play domino on a hard surface, such as a table, to prevent the pieces from sliding off of the board as they are placed. The players should be seated in a circle so that they are all facing one another and can see each other. The game should be played in a manner that is friendly and competitive. This will ensure the best atmosphere for a fun and entertaining game of domino.
