According to Wikipedia, the oldest domino sets have been dated from around 1120. Modern dominoes, as most of the Western world knows them, however, appear to be a Chinese invention. They were apparently derived from cubic dice, which had been introduced into China from India some time in the distant past. Over time Chinese dominoes also evolved into the tile set used to play mahjong, a game which swept across the United States in the early to mid 1920s and has enjoyed moderate popularity, especially in its "solitaire" form, since that time. The early 18th century witnessed dominoes making their way to Europe, making their first appearance in Italy. The game changed somewhat in the translation from Chinese to the European culture. This set of 28 double six color cot dominoes comes complete with directions on how to play the original game with 2-4 people in a vinyl case. As the tile game that never goes out of style, it is a great accent to any office, playroom, classroom and more!
