Domino game: How to play and Where to buy?

Joseph Needham, a British sinologist, coined the catchphrase "The Four Great Inventions of Ancient China." These are significant discoveries, each of which brought China to a new level. These include paper, gunpowder, printing, and the compass. Such a technological leap can be compared to the Industrial Revolution, with the exception that China made its big breakthrough even before the 11th century. What does dominoes have to do with it? I just have a feeling that if you ask a fan of this board game, they would rework this catchphrase and say: "The Five Great Inventions of Ancient China." And all because this game also comes from China and for its fans - Dominoes are no less a gift from the Far East than paper, umbrellas or silk.

How to play dominoes?

To answer this question, it is necessary to first make a reservation that there are more than forty variations of this game only in the East, where it came from. And with the spread of dominoes from the 18th century, when it came to Italy from China, each country began to have its own rules of the game. But we will consider the most popular version of our country - the so-called "Goat".

Two, three or four people can participate in the game, who are dealt seven or five dice, respectively. Then the first to go is the one who got a dice with two sixes or, due to their absence, with two fives. You can only go if the player has a stone with the same number of points as the last dice. If there is no necessary dice, then you will have to take one from the reserve. The game ends when someone has managed to get rid of all the stones from their hands or has declared a fish. This is a situation when there are dice in their hands, but none of the players can make a move. Then the one with the fewest points in total wins. Thanks to the variety of options, dominoes are real mathematical fun that is worth buying for yourself or as a gift.
