Whether you are familiar with the game or not, you probably have heard of Dominoes. It is a family of tile-based games. These games are played with rectangular tiles that have two square ends, marked with the number of spots.
Chinese dominoes are longer than typical European ones
Compared to European dominoes, Chinese dominoes are a bit longer, narrower, and more carved out. They are also flat-faced, and have no dividing bar in the middle. They are also usually black. They are traditionally carved out of bone or ivory, but other materials are used.
Chinese dominoes are divided into two “suits”: Civilios and Military. In a standard set of Chinese dominoes, there are 32 tiles, with 11 of the tiles repeating a pattern. The patterns are based on the outcomes of the throw of two six-sided dice.
In most of the Chinese domino games, the total number of spots on a tile is the most important factor. This is because players must remember which tiles are in which suit.
Western domino games
Various variations of this game can be found all over the world. There are the Chinese and European versions. The Chinese version has a tad more to do with tradition. A Chinese set will also boast of a numeric value and the ceremonial number three pips on the double six.
The European variants are more akin to a board game than the Chinese shuffle puzzle. Most Western versions have a spinner in the middle of the dividing bar. Using the spinner will prevent the face of the tile from scratching the top of the table. Using the spinner will also make the tiles easier to shuffle.
Origins
During the eighteenth century, a secret government experiment was conducted to create super soldiers. Scientists used artificial insemination and manipulation of embryos to create superhumans. One of the products of this experiment was a superhuman named Domino. The story of Domino’s origins is told in a comic book series that is a favorite among comic book readers. The Origins of Domino comic book series follows the adventures of a superhuman named Domino as he becomes a super hero.
Domino was created as a result of a government experiment to create super soldiers. A baby born in Chicago was genetically engineered by scientists to become a super hero. However, the government abandoned the project after several years.
