The game of dominoes traces its roots back to both China and Europe. The European, or Western, game probably originated in Italy and later gained widespread Popularity across Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries. A western set contains 28 dominoes: 21 tiles representing all combinations of a pair of dice, six tiles containing blanks – zero and one tile with two blanks – double zero. Many variations of dominoes are played around the world. These instructions outline one of the more basic Western games called Draw.
