One legend attributes the invention of the dominoes to monks from the Montecassino Abbey. Card games were considered as “immoral” and so they were replaced by dominoes. Domino games were also popular in places where puritanical tendencies prevailed. Probably due to the fact that the dominoes were popular among the clergy. Word “domino” probably comes from the Latin word “dominus” meaning “lord”. You can play many games with one set of domino tiles, just like you can play many games with one deck of cards. What a pity! This game is more addictive than you think, and besides, it has a fascinating history. In my country (Poland) it’s rather unusual to see adults playing dominoes. Sometimes we play with kids because this game seems simple. Often we treat dominoes as blocks for children, a simple toy used to learning to count.
