Domino’s Pizza is an American chain of pizza delivery and carryout restaurants. The company was founded in 1967 by Jim Monaghan and is headquartered in Ypsilanti, Michigan. In addition to its flagship pizza franchise, Domino’s has a variety of other food options including sandwiches and chicken wings. It also offers delivery and online ordering. Domino’s is a leading delivery service for college campuses, and its innovation in the field has helped the company stay competitive with other takeout and delivery services.
In the domino game, a player places a domino edge to edge against another domino in such a way that the pips form either a set (all matching) or a number. The first domino played is called the “down,” or “the lead.” In positional games, each player in turn places one tile on an existing domino, forming a line of play. Then, he or she plays a second domino, adding to or subtracting from the total of the previous tile in a given direction.
There are many different games of domino, and the rules for each differ from place to place. However, most of the most popular games are based on the same principles. Some of the more common games are bidding games, blocking games, scoring games, and round games.
Most domino sets have 28 pieces, each representing one of the 21 possible results of two thrown dice (2d6). This number can be expanded by adding additional “add-ons” (also called expansions) that increase the number of pips on an end. These additional pips are usually added to the ends of the existing dominoes, but sometimes may be affixed to new ones. The most common add-ons are double-nine and double-12, increasing the maximum number of tiles in a domino set from 213 to 91 and 190 respectively.
Although dominoes can be made of plastic, polymer, wood, metal, or other materials, they are most commonly made from bone, silver lip ocean pearl oyster shell (mother of pearl), ivory, or a dark hardwood such as ebony, with contrasting black or white pips inlaid or painted on them. They are also available in ceramic clay or frosted glass, providing a more novel and attractive look and feel.
