Other Maths sites Competitions Display maths using fonts. This month we have a collection of games and puzzles using an ordinary set of dominoes. There are many more we could put in, including domino magic squares. We'll add to this collection in future months.
Every combination is represented.
The value of the domino is the sum of the values of the two squares. The basic rule in playing dominoes is that you make a chain of dominoes placing them end to end. In extending a chain, you always match one square of one of your dominoes to a square on the end of the chain. The players all start with the same number of dominoes and you win if you are the first player to use up ALL your dominoes. If there are extra dominoes at the start they are placed face down as the 'pool'.
