Editorial Review

Are you clicking yet? Play dominoes! It isn't just one game, as many people think--there are many games and variations at many skill levels. Domino sets vary in size and complexity, according to the number of dots. This big Double Twelve set has 91 domino pieces, and each piece has from one to 12 color-coded dots at each end, or no dots (blank). The pieces can be used to play 16 different games; instructions for all the games are included. Made of a heavy white, ivory-like plastic, the pieces are 2 inches long, 1 inch wide, and .3 inch thick, and they store neatly in their case. --Richard Farr

This review is from: Cardinal Double 12 Color Dot Mexican Train Dominoes in Tin (Toy)

I bought this game on the recommendation of friends, and took it on a three week vacation. We played it frequently and enjoyed it immensely.

The dominos are durable, washable (in mild soap), pleasant to look at and have a nice, solid feel. They come in a metal tin with instructions along with a plastic "train station" for the Mexican Train version of the game.

We found the instructions didn't cover every single situation. This gave us the chance to make up rules which we found satisfactory. You can research the web to find more about this game.

This review is from: Cardinal Double 12 Color Dot Mexican Train Dominoes in Tin (Toy)

Our friends brought this set of dominoes to our house for after dinner gaming, and although my husband and I were skeptical at first, we quickly became obsessed with this game! Playing dominoes is more complicated and competitive than simply matching numbers -- this set comes with instructions for several multi-player games as well as solitary games. The dominoes themselves are high quality -- they are made of heavy white plastic, but feel more like ivory, and the colors are bright and distictive. We have since bought these dominoes as gifts for almost everyone we have played with.

We took this set on vacation and aside from playing regular dominoes we also played one of the new games that was suggested in the box. What a blast!

My sister in law also mentioned that my 2 year old nephew also loves playing with these dominoes with her or on his own. He likes to match the colors and is learning to quickly count or identify the dot patterns and their numerical equivalent.

I recommend this game for families or for adults who enjoy getting together to play games.
