Someone suggested I post the rules for a game that a friend and I invented many years ago. It's a two-player abstract strategy game with a large luck element but still a lot of room for skill. The game is called Domination , partly because the goal is to hem in your opponent, but mostly because the most distinctive component is a set of dominoes. The dominoes should be small enough that they can be laid flat on a square of the board without overlapping too much into other squares. Laying them at a 45 degree angle helps.
Rules Set up the board as shown below.
I.e., a piece that moves off one edge re-enters immediately at the opposite edge. Decide who will go first. One piece moves a distance equal to one of the numbers on the domino, the other moves a distance equal to the other number. Either number may be used first. A piece is moved in a straight line horizontally or vertically.
