Any game has its advantages and disadvantages, even a millennial one like dominoes. Its advantages surround the richness of the game, and the disadvantages its inconvenient specifics. Starting with the advantages, one of them is that a game for all ages, for being easily understood, easily assembled and handled, and yet with a wealth of strategies to please those who play longer. Within this enormous age range are several cognitive benefits, such as stimulating logical-mathematical development for the youngest, strategic logic for adults and memory for the oldest. Finally, it is a practical game. All you need is a straight surface and at least two players and that's it.
Starting with the fact that it's only four players, at least in most modes. It's hard to entertain a large group, for example. Another drawback is the "delicate" way the game is assembled, just like most table games or even board games. The pieces are fitted together without any fixture. It's just a sudden bump on the table and that's it. The pieces, by the way, are an inconvenience in themselves, at least when they get lost, because they are small, or wear out, losing their visibility or even their value, in the sense of points.
