An indoor game that I enjoyed to play when I was a child was Domino’s. It started when I was in first grade. At the time I often visited my grandparents in the village. Every evening my grandfather and my uncle, his son, played Domino’s in their house. So Domino’s is a family of tile-based games played with gaming pieces. Each player must in turn them playing a tile onto the table positioning, so that it touches one end of the Domino chain. The basis of most Domino games and it which I preferred and my family is to lay down a Domino next to another Domino, so that the numbers or blanks on a jazz and Domino’s match each other. The rules are so easy and understandable, I think playing Domino’s is a blend of strategy and luck. The more I played, the more I appreciated the subtleties of the game. Not depends your age, concentration or any reasons. So this game share my reflection on my childhood, Domino’s so close to my heart because the time holds a special place in my memories.
