Dominoes<\/b> is a family of games played with rectangular “domino” tiles. Each domino is a rectangular tile with a line dividing its face into two square ends<\/i>. Each end is marked with a number of spots (also called pips<\/a><\/i>, nips<\/i>, or dobs<\/i>) or is blank. The backs of the dominoes in a set are indistinguishable, either blank or having some common design. The domino gaming pieces (colloquially nicknamed bones<\/i>, cards<\/i>, tiles<\/i>, tickets<\/i>, stones<\/i>, chips<\/i>, or spinners<\/i>) make up a domino set, sometimes called a deck<\/i> or pack<\/i>. The traditional Sino-European domino set consists of 28 dominoes, featuring all combinations of spot counts between zero and six. A domino set is a generic gaming device, similar to playing cards<\/a> or dice<\/a>, in that a variety of games can be played with a set.<\/p>\n

The earliest mention of dominoes is from Song dynasty<\/a> China found in the text Former Events in Wulin<\/i> by Zhou Mi (1232\u20131298).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Modern dominoes first appeared in Italy during the 18th century, but how Chinese dominoes<\/a> developed into the modern game is unknown. Italian missionaries in China may have brought the game to Europe.<\/p>\n

The name “domino” is most likely from the resemblance to a kind of carnival costume<\/a> worn during the Venetian Carnival<\/a>, often consisting of a black-hooded robe and a white mask.[3]<\/a><\/sup>[4]<\/a><\/sup> Contrary to the coinage of the word polyomino<\/a> as a generalization, there is no connection between the word “domino” and the number 2 in any language.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
