Label Text:
The traditional domino set consists of 28 tiles, also known as pieces, bones, rocks, stones, men, or cards, featuring all combinations of spot counts between zero and six. Most domino games are blocking games, where the objective is to empty one's hand while blocking the opponents from doing the same. In the end, a score may be determined by counting the spots or pips in the losing players' hands.
