Dominoes
 |
Dominoes is a family of tile-based games played with gaming pieces, commonly known as dominoes. In most domino games, only the “open” ends of a layout are open for play. An end is open when it has no other tile connected to it. Often, a double is placed cross-ways in the layout, straddling the end of the tile that it is connected to. Usually, additional tiles can only be placed agains the long side of a double. However, the rules of some games consider all four sides of a double to be open, allowing dominoes to be connected in all four directions. A game ends either when a player plays all his tiles, or when a game is blocked. |
