Description
This kids' dominoes game comes in a traditional wooden box with a sliding lid, so every tile has its own home when play is done. The box is pale natural wood, and the lid carries a cream printed panel with the word Dominoes in a curling script, the words 'with traditional wooden box' beneath it, and a row of drawn dominoes in green, olive, yellow, red and black. Inside, the tiles are black with crisp white spots that are easy to read at a glance across the table. The box measures 15cm long, 5cm wide and 3cm high, small enough to tuck into a drawer or a coat pocket.
Dominoes suits almost any table: the kitchen after supper, a rainy afternoon in the sitting room, a holiday cottage or a caravan on a wet weekend. A leaflet headed How to Play Dominoes comes with the tiles, so anyone who has never played can learn the rules and start matching ends straight away. We think it is a simple, unhurried way to bring everyone round one table, with a little counting and a little strategy in every turn, and the black and white tiles look smart enough to leave out on a shelf between games.
The box and lid are wood, and the set arrives in a red and cream card sleeve printed with the same row of coloured dominoes, so it is ready to give just as it comes. The lid slides out to open and back in to close; keep it shut between games and no tile goes astray. Care is simple: wipe the box with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp, as you would any wooden piece. At just 0.119KG it adds next to nothing to a weekend bag, and as a present it is a game that keeps coming out long after it is unwrapped.
