This offered dominoes games differ from traditional dominoes
game as follows: there is a playing board (game board); and dominoes elements (pieces, tiles,
tokens) are ordered and designated
by specific way, which allows players to receive unusual capabilities
for rule organization of their game interaction during playing the
dominoes tiles. The playing board squares have rectangular shape, which coincides with shape of dominoes tiles. Light and dark squares are alternated as in a chess, and also squares are divided in halves with thin linear marking that allows placing dominoes tiles lengthwise or transverse in relation to the playing board. At the playing board’s edges there are numerical designations corresponding to vertical and horizontal square rows. The playing board, which is used in this dominoes game, is consisting of 8 vertical and 8 horizontal square rows. The main reason for this playing board is the fact that 64 squares are the most optimal quantity for player’s perception, and the fact that this number of squares is accepted for many classical games such as chess or checkers. Well known dominoes sets including 28 elements (pieces, tiles) with digit combinations from 0 to 6 do not fit to the playing board which has 64 squares. Due to this circumstance in this dominoes game there are tile sets in which repeated dominoes tiles are added. Doubles 0/0, 6/6, 2/2, 4/4 are added to one dominoes tile set (designated with “A” letter), and doubles 0/0, 6/6, 1/1, 5/5 are added to the second dominoes tile set (designated with “B” letter). Altogether each complete set contains 32 dominoes tiles. Thus two sets of dominoes can be brought into confrontation with these 64 squares of the playing board. The dominoes tiles are dual digits combinations. Dominoes tiles, which are combinations of equal digits, are called “doubles”. And if dominoes tiles are combinations of unequal digits they are called “fractions”. Digits are applied on dominoes tiles as dots. These two sets of dominoes elements differ from each other with help of circles which have different colors. These circles are situated on face side of tiles. Red and yellow circles are applied on tiles of the set “A”, blue and green circles are located on the set “B”. In all, each set includes dominoes tiles of two colors. These two colors are necessary to designate proportional groups in sets’ composition. Namely, these two colors indicate that each set is distributed (divided) into two element groups, and digits in these groups are proportional. In the set “A” digits of 16 red tiles are proportional to digits of 16 yellow tiles of dominoes. And in the set “B” digits of 16 blue tiles are proportional to digits of 16 green tiles of dominoes. Thus, to play rules of this dominoes game you can select two proportional groups from any one set composition, digits in composition of which are proportional. In other case you can select two sets, which digit compositions are identical. In this circumstance, if each player is playing by dominoes tiles of his own set or his own proportional group then winning equal odds will be obeyed. Back sides of dominoes tiles, which belong to set “A” and set “B”, are differ from each other due to dark and light circles located on them. Proportional groups in sets’ composition are designated by presence/absence of crosses. Proportional groups of dominoes tiles located on the playing board in initial playing positions are shown in Figures 1(A) and 1(B). Dominoes digits are shown on these Figures with Arabic figures inside of the playing board schematic square frames. Dominoes tiles are directed towards the opponent with help of orienting arrows. It is necessary to ensure for digits of proportional groups to be oriented proportionally. Namely, digits applied on dominoes tiles can be directed forward or backward in relation to orienting arrows. And to ensure optimal game interaction it is necessary to have proportional number of digits, which oriented forward and backward, in each proportional group of dominoes tiles. This is shown in Figures 1(A) and 1(B) with help of schematic arrows located on right side. As can be seen from these Figures, dominoes tile sets included in this game package are presenting so called “magic square" of dominoes. In accordance with “magic” arrangement of digits in this “magic square” the sets of dominoes A and B are distributed into proportional groups. And orienting arrows are applied onto dominoes tiles in accordance to this “magic” arrangement. Due to this arrangement players may to place dominoes tiles on the playing boards directing towards opponent by orienting arrows. It ensures optimal game interaction. This “magic” arrangement consists in the fact that digits create regular sums in vertical and horizontal directions when dominoes tiles are located on specifies order. These sums are shown along schematic board edges. The sums of digits obtained in horizontal direction are shown on right side. The sums of digits obtained in vertical direction are shown above and under of the board. In such a manner, the present dominoes game has defined order, which allows players to have equal odds and to play with playing information opened completely.
