Dominó en parejas

Domino history:

Dominoes is a board game that can be considered an extension of dice. Although its origin is supposed to be oriental and ancient, it does not seem that the current form was known in Europe until the mid-18th century, when the Italians introduced it.

Its popularity in Latin American countries is immense, particularly in the Hispanic Caribbean (Puerto Rico, Cuba, etc.)

How to play dominoes:

Each player receives 7 tokens at the start of a round. If there are less than 4 players in the game, the remaining chips are kept in the pot.

The player who has the tile with the highest double starts the round (if 4 people play, the 6 double will always start). In case none of the players have doubles, the player with the highest chip will start. From that moment, the players will make their move, in turns, following the reverse order to the hands of the clock.

The player who starts the round leads the hand. This is an important concept for domino strategy, since the player or pair that is "hand" is usually the one that has the advantage during the round.
