Good Score, I played a lot of dominoes when I was kid....... and in the army during long deployment....I played a little bit of spades too.
Yes
My Grandfather (who is loooong gone) had an ivory set that he had for decades. Don't know where he got them, he was a simple row crop farmer in Greer County. Don't know what happened to them, but I'd give a kings ransom to have them now.
After a couple of rounds, he could tell everyone what they had left in their hands.
And don't even think about playing him one on one, he smack you every time
I drove past this place every day for 7 years...every now and then they looked busy but most of the time I think they just make and distribute them from there.
Well, my google alert popped up last week about a set of ivory colored Marble-Like's on Ebay. Added those to the collection this morning. As popular as those were, you sure don't see em pop up for sale much, and it's darn near impossible to talk people out of em. Just need to find a set of ivory Jumbo's to complete the butterscotch collection.
Dad is a master at Domino's. He plays a couple times a week with friends on Friday night or at a community center in Moore every Thursday morning. He wins most of the time lol.
I never understood how he knew who was holding what after the second round

My mother's father was that way. I learned you could easily throw him off by giving him unnecessary count. Toss him an easy nickel once in a while.
Good domino players can take a 1 second look at the board and tell you every bone out there. I can study it for 10 minutes, and still just see a bunch of dots.
Man, I use to play a lot of domino back in the days, I have not play maybe in 6 years.
Did you slam them down on the folding table so it registered as a small earth quake and yell DOMINO MUTHA @#$ like Samuel L Jackson while playing? Worked at a place were some guys did that everyday. So that is the image I always see when someone says dominoes.
Oh, you mean the same guys who "splash the pot" when putting chips in during poker? Same basic level of maturity....
