Dominoes is a family of tile-based games played with gaming pieces. Each domino is a rectangular tile, usually with a line dividing its face into two square ends.

The tiles are placed face down on the table, shuffled and then arranged in a simple rectangular grid. The goal is to collect the largest number of pairs of tiles. With double-six dominoes, pairs consist of any two tiles whose pips sum to 12. For example, the 3–5 and the 0–4 form a pair.
This can be demonstrated by examination of the "singles" tiles: where 012 is a valid sequence in Triangular Dominoes, 021 is not, and so the mirror image of each "singles" pattern is excluded; there are ten excluded patterns for the set of 0–4 pips and twenty for the set of 0–5 pips. By examination, mirror images of the triples and doubles ...
A full set of Chinese dominoes. Chinese dominoes are used in several tile-based games, namely, tien gow, pai gow, tiu u and kap tai shap.In Cantonese they are called gwāt pái (骨牌), which literally means "bone tiles"; it is also the name of a northern Chinese game, where the rules are quite different from the southern Chinese version of tien gow.
The 32 tiles in a Chinese dominoes set can be arranged into 16 named pairs. Eleven of these pairs have identical tiles, and five of these pairs are made up of two tiles that have the same total number of pips, but in different groupings. The latter group includes the Gee Joon tiles, which can score the same, whether as three or six.
