Dominoes Are Fun! By BusyBusyMom on Feb 10, 2008 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

This is a great game to have on your shelf at home. It is fun to enjoy a game of dominoes with children and adults alike. The included instruction sheet is detailed and gives you several games to play with the domino set. It is a good family game. It is easily taught to children - they can count the dots or simply match the color of the dots. It is a good game for children to begin with to learn strategy and cognitive skills. Between adults it is a game that everyone can play and you may be surprised how you really get into the game. A friendly competition among friends is a pleasant way to pass an evening. And a game of dominoes can last as long as you have time for. The Train Game opens with a "hand" of dominoes based on the double twelves. As you progress, each hand starts with the next-lowest double domino piece. You can play one hand or all 13 hands as you have time for. And there are different ways to score each game. There are various ways to score, you count the dots remaining in your hand and try to be the player with the lowest score. Or you can score by giving the winner gets 50 points and each player gets 10 less in the order in which they go out - that way you want to be the play with the most points. Either way, you'll have fun!
