Domino is a game that is played by placing small, rectangular pieces on end in long lines. When one domino is tipped over, it sets off a chain reaction that causes the remaining dominoes to tip over and so on, until all the dominoes have fallen. Dominoes can also be used to form interesting shapes and are a fun way for children to practice counting.
Dominoes are usually made of a material such as bone, silver lip ocean pearl oyster shell (mother-of-pearl), ivory, or a dark hardwood such as ebony with black or white pips inlaid or painted on the top surface. They can also be made of polymer, a type of plastic. In the past, dominoes were often made from natural materials such as stone (e.g., marble, granite or soapstone); other woods; metals (e.g., brass or pewter); ceramic clay; or even frosted glass.
Each domino has a single, unique, identifying mark on one face. The other faces of each domino are blank or identically patterned. The identifying mark is known as the “pips” or a “spot.” There are many different types of games that can be played with dominoes, but most of them fit into four categories: bidding, blocking, scoring, and round games.
The first player to play a domino must decide which tile he will use for the opening move. He may then make his play in any order, depending on the rules of the game being played. The player who plays the first domino is sometimes referred to as “the setter,” “the downer,” or “the lead.”
A common rule for positional games is that the next player must place his piece so that adjacent edges are either identical (e.g., 5 to 5) or match some specified total (e.g., 10 to 11). This means that the next player has to add up his points before he can start adding more points to his total.
Many of the most popular domino games are bidding games in which players bid on a particular number or set of numbers and then try to take them before anyone else can. These games can be very competitive, and it is not uncommon for a domino to become a “hot” item that all the players want to acquire.
Domino’s Pizza has an excellent leadership structure. Their CEO, Don Meij, has been featured in the hit TV show Undercover Boss. Don Meij has shown that he is a strong leader who cares about the people in his company. He has a very hands on approach to management and is very involved in the day-to-day operations of the company. He has also been a big advocate for using behavioral theory in the company instead of the traditional bureaucratic style of management. This has helped the company stay ahead of the competition and keep their employees motivated. In fact, this type of management style has been credited with the company’s quick turnaround in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
