A domino (also known as bones, cards, men or pieces) is a flat thumbsized rectangular block, the surface of which is divided by a line into two squares bearing from one to six pips or dots. A domino set is typically twice as long as wide, and each piece has a value indicated by the number of pips on its sides.
The first player to play all of their dominoes in a row wins the game. Players can also compete in tournaments to determine the first winner of a round. There are many different games played with dominoes, including blocking and scoring games. Some of these games are adaptations of card games and were popular in some areas to circumvent religious prohibitions against playing cards.
An early mention of a domino-like game is found in Song dynasty China in the text Former Events in Wulin. The modern version of the game was developed in Europe around the 18th century, and it became popular throughout the world after that. Today, dominoes are made from a variety of materials including bone, silver lip ocean pearl oyster shell (mother of pearl), ivory and dark hardwoods such as ebony. The pips can be inlaid or painted.
Traditionally, the top half thickness of a domino is carved from a solid material such as ivory, mother-of-pearl or ebony and the lower half is molded from clay or plaster, which is then inlaid with black or white pips. Contemporary sets may be made from woods such as ash, birch or redwood, ceramics, glass, and even plastic. Occasionally, domino sets are produced in multiple materials, with the top layer in a translucent material such as mother-of-pearl and the lower layer in a darker material such as ebony or sycamore.
For games such as tai chi, dominoes are usually placed in a grid pattern on a table and the first player to complete their dominos wins the game. Other games, such as reversible tai chi, require the player to move all of their dominos in a specific direction to win.
The Brooklyn style uses a larger pizza dough ball than the stock hand-tossed pizza to create a thinner slice that allows for more toppings per slice. This results in a pizza that is more similar to an authentic New York-style pie than the company’s stock hand-tossed, but with a better toppings-to-crust ratio. The thin crust is chewy and has a slightly cornmeal flavor that adds to the overall texture. However, it lacks the crispy almost fried crust that makes good pan pizza so enjoyable, and the bottom flavor is somewhat bland. Domino’s sauce is sweet and salty, and the toppings are a cheesy symphony that includes mozzarella, feta, provolone, cheddar and parmesan cheese.
