Origins of the game
    Dominoes are small tiles, traditionally carved from ivory or bone, inset with small, round spots of ebony. The name may have been derived from this black and white colouring. 'Domino' is the French word for a Christian priest's winter hood, which was black on the outside, and white on the inside. 'Domino' is also a style of mask, featuring a black and white motif. The tiles themselves originated in China, probably around the 12th century.

Basic rules and objectives
    Domino tiles may be used to play many different games. The basic principle of all of them, however, is to play a tile bearing a number that matches a tile at an open end of the layout. Usually, a hand ends, when one player has played all his tiles to the layout.
