A domino is a game that is played with two pieces. Each piece has identifying marks on one side and blank on the other. Some dominoes are marked with pips or spots. Others are blank. The players attempt to make a chain with all the tiles with the same number at the end.
The game first appeared in Italy around the early 18th century and spread to southern Germany and Austria. Later, domino games spread to France and became a fad. In 1771, the French dictionary Dictionnaire de Trevoux recorded the word domino. Interestingly, the word domino originally referred to two different things. It was also used to refer to crude woodcuts on paper, popular among French peasants.
There are several different variations of the game, with the most basic being Block for two players. A player starts the game by drawing seven tiles from a set of double-six tiles. They then alternately extend the line of play until one of them is unable to place a domino. The player with the highest score wins the game.
In dominoes, the last domino is played. Then, the remaining dominoes are turned over to be counted. If all players have at least one domino, the winner gets the hand and gets a score based on the number of dots on their opponents’ hands. The winning player receives the highest score, but if their opponent has more dots than him, they do not score any points.
The game can last for a long time. The best way to play dominoes is to start with the lead player. The lead player plays the lead domino, which is the highest domino. If the lead player blocks, then the other player takes the lead. If they are able to eliminate the lead domino, they win.
