A domino set, also known as a deck or pack, consists of gaming pieces. The traditional Sino-European domino set has 28 tiles, often called bones, cards, tiles, tickets, stones, or spinners. Each domino is a rectangular tile divided by a line into two square ends, marked with spots or left blank. Domino sets are versatile gaming tools, much like playing cards or dice, allowing for various games. Extended sets like double 9 and double 12 are used for games like Mexican Train and Chicken Foot. Different countries have their own domino games: England has Muggins (All Fives), Scandinavian countries feature Bergen, Mexico is known for Mexican Train, and Spain plays Matador.
Dominoes were first mentioned in China's Song Dynasty and appeared in Italy during the 18th century, though the evolution from Chinese dominoes to the modern game remains unclear.
General dominoes rules:
Blocking Game
The basic dominoes variant for two players uses a double six set. The 28 tiles are shuffled face down to form the stock or boneyard. Each player draws seven tiles, leaving the rest unused. Players place their tiles on-edge so they can see their own but not others' tiles, allowing everyone to track how many tiles remain in opponents' hands. One player starts by playing the first tile. The starting tile varies by game: Muggins begins with the highest double (6-6), Bergen with 0-0, and Mexican Train starts each round with the next lower double. This begins the line of play, where tiles connect with matching values. Players take turns adding tiles to either end. The game ends when a player wins by placing their last tile or when no moves are possible, resulting in a block. In a block, the player who caused it scores all remaining opponent points, excluding their own.
Scoring Game
Players earn points for specific moves, configurations, or emptying their hand. Most scoring games are draw game variations. In Muggins (All Fives), players must make the open ends sum to 5 or a multiple (5, 10, 15, 20, etc.). In Bergen, players score when open ends match. If a player fails to call "domino" before laying a tile and another player says it after, the first must draw an extra tile. In Mexican Train, the double zero scores 50 points.
Draw Game
In a draw game (blocking or scoring), players can draw as many tiles as needed from the stock before playing. The game score is the losing player's pip count plus the stock's pips, with most rules requiring two tiles to remain in the stock. The Draw Game is commonly called simply "dominos".
