Double six Dominoes are the small tiles traditionally carved from bone or ivory and featuring small round pips of inset ivory that collectively make up a domino set.
The oldest known double six domino sets date back to c.1120 A.D. in China and it is thought that they were introduced to China from India before that. It wasn't until the 18th Century, however, that double six dominoes appeared in Europe where, over time, the game was adapted into the form that we know today.Standard double six domino sets today include 28 pieces, each of which consists of a line dividing it in to two squares and a number of spots (or 'pips') in each square end. Double six sets have ends ranging from zero to six spots. The Tiles are rather generic gaming devices, like playing cards. Many different games can be played with a set of Dominoes.
