Maker’s note
Dominoes is the kitchen-table game of the Parlor: a chain of pips, an eye on what your opponent cannot play, and the quiet pleasure of going out first. Our opponent thinks about what it cannot see, with a mild mistake or two at the easy level, and every choice it makes is worked out from the deal, so a finished game can be replayed exactly from the tiles you played. One deal a day, scored on the win, the margin and the clock.
