Dominoes (or dominos) generally refer to the collective gaming pieces making up a domino set
(sometimes called a deck or pack) or to the subcategory of tile games played with domino pieces. In the
area of mathematical tilings and polyominoes, the word domino often refers to any rectangle formed from
joining two congruent squares edge to edge. A domino set may consist of different number of tiles and
dots. The traditional Sino-European domino set consists of 28 dominoes. The totals for all common domino
sets is presented in the following table:
Domino Set Number of Tiles Number of Dots
Double Six (6-6) 28 168
Double Nine (9-9) 55 495
Double Twelve (12-12) 91 1092
Double Fifteen (15-15) 136 2040
Dominoes are called "bones" because the earliest domino tiles were made from animal bones or ivory.
In addition to "bones", dominoes are also called "tiles", "stones", "men", “tickets”,or “spinners.”.
Each domino is a rectangular tile with a line dividing its face into two square ends. Each end is marked with
a number of spots (also called pips) or is blank. The word "pip" commonly means a "spot" or a "speck",
and perhaps that's why a domino's spots are called "pips".
Evidences show that tile games have been found in China as early as 1120 CE.
Some historians credit Keung T'ai Kung, in the twelfth century BCE for creating them.
Other historians stated that dominoes were invented by a statesman named Chu sz yam in 1120 CE. This
person is said to have presented them to the Emperor Hui Tsung, and that they were circulated abroad by
imperial order during the reign of Hui's son, Kao-Tsung (1127-1163 CE).
The word "domino" is most likely to be derived from the Latin, dominus (i.e., the master of the house).
The vocative, domine, became the Scottish and English dominie.
