dominos
Black-and-white tiles
Dominos is the plural of domino, referring to the rectangular game pieces marked with dots, or to the game played with them.
The word also names a loose hooded cloak with a half-mask, worn at masquerades—though this sense is now rare.
We played dominos until midnight. (Capitalized Domino's is the pizza chain.)
