chuckle indoor activity

Want a fun way to spend time with friends....play dominoes! We play with a couple of friends of ours several times a week. We also enjoy watching the Atlanta Braves on TV.

We used to play dominoes in our family when I was growing up. My mother just bought my son a set for Christmas. Now we are trying to teach him ( and re-teach me, lol) how to play.

It is a fun family game!!

do you have the little plastic trains for the game? or do you use pennies? We used pennies for awhile but then I found some trains so now we use them.

trains/pennies

I have the trains now also. Do you have a board piece to show the layout. A friend made me one from the plastic craft stuff and then covered it with yarn.

To debkenetchel the (train game) is sold at walmart stores by the name of dominoes starting at twelves & down. I hope this makes since.You have directions & rules in the box. To give a short version you start out with the double twelve and you start a train with matching end pieces with the twelve being the lead dominoe.Oh yeh you draw I think 12 dominoes. I will look for my game for more info if you like!
