Dominoes

Delivers hot pies

Dominoes is a game played with rectangular tiles divided into two squares, each marked with dots (pips) or left blank.

Players match ends with equal values, laying tiles in a chain.

The tiles themselves are also called dominoes.

A domino effect describes a chain reaction where one event triggers successive others: Budget cuts created a domino effect across departments.

To topple like dominoes is to fall in sequence.
