Domino is a game in which two or more players place edge-to-edge tiles onto a table so that their ends form identical numbers or other arrangements such as totalling or matching suits. Players then add more tiles onto the table as dominoes are added gradually – creating chains of dominoes as they go. Some versions also involve scoring mechanisms; the player with the most points wins the game.
The first player who places a tile adds it to an already established line of dominoes. Other players then take turns adding tiles of their own, each trying to match up their number of pips with any open ends present on an already played domino – known as “passing” or “byeing.”
As soon as the first domino falls, much of its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy; this provides momentum needed to knock over subsequent dominoes until all have fallen in a chain of dominoes.
Some find the most exciting aspect of playing dominoes is witnessing its domino effect: when one domino is subtly nudged and all its counterparts tumble with forceful rhythmic movement. The same principle holds true in business world, as companies use their core values as motivation for practical actions that lead to success – giving way to what some call “Domino Effect”.
One example of the domino effect would be a company with strong leadership structure and is always seeking ways to enhance employee experience. One effective way of doing so is listening and responding to employees needs through employee surveys or other means.
Dominoes can be used for more than just domino effects – they’re also great tools for making art! Arranging the pieces can produce lines of straight or curved lines, grids that form pictures, or 3D structures such as towers and pyramids – providing another great opportunity to practice engineering and architecture skills! These structures can be viewed from many angles simultaneously and allow engineers and architects to practice their trade!
As well as traditional wooden or plastic dominoes, sets can also be made of various natural materials such as stone (e.g. marble or granite); other woods such as ebony or spruce; and metals like brass or pewter. Exotic or rare materials have also been used, including silver lip ocean pearl oyster shell (mother of pearl), bone, ivory and dark hardwood such as ebony. Although such sets offer more unique looks and feels than polymer or other synthetic materials, these sets tend to require special care compared with cheaper polymer versions; hence less common.
