Origin
There are several theories about the origin of the Domino game. Some claim that it was created by the Chinese in the 12th century, while others say it was originally played by the Egyptians during the Tutankhamen period. While the actual origin of the game is unclear, most people credit the Chinese nobleman Kao Tsung. This man spread the game throughout the world.
The domino game first came to western Europe during the mid-18th century and gained popularity throughout southern Germany and Austria. It quickly became popular in France, where the name was first recorded in 1771. Despite the origins, the game has retained its popularity in France and has since become a favorite of pubs and cafes.
Variants
Variants of domino are variations of the game domino. Each set consists of six dominos. The dominoes are arranged in a circle. The dominoes must be arranged in a certain way to complete the circle. The dominoes must be the same size to complete the circle.
There are several variations of domino, including block, layout, and double-six games. Block is one of the easiest types of domino game. The players alternately extend their line of play and the winner is the one with the highest total pip count. The losing player must play the last tile before his opponent completes the line.
Scoring version of “5s-and-3s”
The Scoring version of “5s-and-threes” is a variant of the dominoes game in which players score points for making pairs and series of “ends.” In this version, five or three tiles are separated into two and used to form the score.
To start a round, players must hit a total of five consecutive balls. The higher the total number, the higher the score.
Game played
The basic rules of the game played with domino are simple. In order to win the game, players must match tiles of the same number of pips to the tile of their opponent. They must also try to get rid of all their tiles before their opponent does. The first player to make a play is considered the “setter,” or first player.
The game is broken when one player draws another domino. In some games, the player with the heaviest domino makes the first play. In others, the player with the highest double plays the first.
