Fact #1. The game of dominoes originated in China, and remained almost exclusively a Chinese pastime for nearly 500 years. The game pieces were not seen in Europe until the early 1700s. The first Western players were Italians. After the early 18th century, the game quickly spread across much of the rest of Europe, gaining particular popularity in France.
Fact #2. The popularity of dominoes transcends borders both cultural and geographical. Players old and young, casual and diehard alike enjoy round after round. The clicking of the tiles fills the air of alleyways in Kingston to pubs in Britain and almost everywhere in between.
Fact #3. A decent set of tiles won't cost you anymore than a cheeseburger with French fries would. This is an agreeable investment if you only plan on playing the game a few times out of the year. On the other end of the spectrum, you can find sets made of hand-carved stone with bright and colorful crystal pips.
Fact #4. Beyond the game of dominoes, there's another way to play with all those tiles: the chain reaction. Young and old players alike can enjoy the mesmerizing cascade effect of one domino after another knocking into one another, forming a fluid falling motion that continues along as lengthy a row as you had the patience to set up.
Fact #5. If you're purchasing a set primarily to be lined up and knocked down, there's no reason to get a traditional set of tiles. Instead, look for play sets purpose-built for lining up, stacking, and knocking down, many of which come with hundreds of pieces. It's not only amusing to play in this manner. The process can also help develop everything from fine motor control to the same type of critical thinking that plays a role in mathematics, engineering, and science.
