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 huge Double Fifteen set has 136 domino pieces, and each piece has from one to 15 color-coded dots on each end, or no dots (blank). The pieces can be used to play 20 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 blue tin. --Richard Farr

Product Description

With 136 tiles, lots of people can play. Dive into domino game variations like Mexican Train, Four-Hand Texas, Muggins, Draw, Block, Matador, Tiddle-a-Wink and many more! In virtually all games, players try to block the game so others cannot make a play. Or, players try to make ends that, when added together, equal some given number or multiple of that number. Or, they try to play so that the ends of the line will show spots of equal value. As always, the player to play his last piece before any opponent wins! Set packs neatly into sturdy game tin. Includes a starter piece to help organize the game, 136 tiles, and instructions. For 2 to 10 players.

4.0 out of 5 stars Try them again or for the first time., December 21, 2000

Wow, this is a great set of dominoes. You can play a huge number of games with varying levels of complexity.

Fun: Personally, I recommend you get the box of Double 12s. This box has more 'bones' as the dominoes are called and unless you sort out those with higher values you will find some games too time consuming or unnecessarily difficult. Otherwise this would have gotten 5 stars for fun.

Education: From simple for all ages, to more complex rules to satisfy those who require games with thought and strategy. The great part about dominoes is that you can play a game with both types of folks at the same time!

Durable: Not only are the dominoes very durable, the tin they come in is a wonderful storage container.

Extra: The colored spots/dots on this set. They truly liven up the bones in a way that white on black simply cannot match. They add more ways to play than counting spots or pattern recognition, adding to the ease of play and ability to use the game educationally. None of the dots have not chipped or faded for me.

Buy this game for yourself. Play with friends and family. Watch them go out and buy their own set.

This review is from: Cardinal Industries Double Fifteen Color Dot Dominoes in a Collectors Tin (Toy)

We purchased the 15 color dominoe set and we loved it! We have German neighbors and we taught them how to play dominoes and
"chicken claw" (a fun dominoe game). The dominoes are so durable and colorful that even the kids were able to play with the adults. They are easy to clean (if necessary) and store nicely in their tin box. Great product!

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic MUST!, October 26, 2003

This is a must have for all classic game lovers. With 3 of our 4 children visually disabled, it was quite easy for them to see the dots (easy for the older parents too!). The youngest children were not frustrated because they could match up the dominoes by color, and eventually learned the patterns and counting as well. They are very durable and come inside a tin that has a snug-fitting lid to prevent spills. Detailed instructions are included for many versions of play. This is a perfect game for Family Game night as the games are short enough to complete before younger players get frustrated.
