Domino Vobiscum

There are times in one's life when one once again finds meaning in owning one's very own extremely large set of dominoes. Though those times may be few, when they arrive, one can only look with joy upon the vast collection of domino games available to one through the dedication of one Teun Spaans, virtual landlord of the Domino Plaza. There you'll find the rules for the common and the arcane - games like the "Draw Game - which is probably the only version of dominoes most of us knew about, to games like Chickenfoot," which we are given to understand is the absolute latest craze in domino games. Then there's a collection of domino card games (who knew), and domino solitaire games (well, if there are domino card games...), and more and more links to just about all things domino, including, as one might hope, Domino Toppling and, as one might have no idea of, the astounding art of Domino Stacking.

I being one of those who seek immediate, if virtual satisfaction, was especially happy to find the link to the interactive, play-against-the-computer, island-like joy of Jamaican Dominoes.

It turns out that the game of dominoes can be traced back to fourteenth century China. Should you wish to demonstrate further domino erudition, click on over to the history of dominoes.
