Domino — Dominoes are small rectangular wooden or plastic blocks resembling dice, featuring blank faces or marked with dots similar to those seen on dice. They may have one or more sides marked with spots or dots like those found on dice and can be stacked together into structures such as towers, pyramids, walls and spheres. Dominoes can be played many different games; the most commonly found set contains 28 dominoes: 7 doubles with similar numbered ends from double blank to double six) and 21 singles which may either feature numbers on one end or be blanks on both ends (doubling their potential number). Larger sets may include ends adorned with greater number of spots which further extends their potential combinations between ends resulting in additional combinations that could potentially increase game play opportunities – as well as increasing unique combinations between ends resulting in greater combination and pieces for use.
Dominos is a timeless classic game, beloved by both children and adults alike. To play, each player takes turns placing dominoes onto the table; those who are successful at this task earn points by stacking all their dominoes one upon another in line (one touching another and so forth) until their line reaches an endpoint; once all their dominoes have been scored successfully they win!
The word “domino” comes from Latin verb domini, which translates to “to conquer.” The term first appeared in English around 1750; an earlier usage involved long hooded cloaks worn with masks during carnival season or masquerade events.
As with any game of Dominoes, it’s essential that players observe all rules of the game and act fairly. Failing to abide by them could result in disqualification; there are multiple strategies for winning but most involve scoring points by aligning dominoes with matching numbers at their exposed ends and placing them end-to-end in a row.
Domino’s began its operations in Ypsilanti, Michigan in 1967 and encountered obstacles. Tom Monaghan recognized the need to listen and respond to customers; therefore the company implemented new policies and procedures such as relaxed dress codes and an improved leadership training program and opened direct lines of communication between customers and themselves and the company.
No matter which writing method you employ, using the Domino Effect to ensure your story stays on course is an effective strategy. Imagine each scene as an event or emotional beat before it, with its effects having to resonate through to other scenes in an orderly fashion to raise tension or not become unnecessary – this is something I always impart upon clients when editing their manuscripts with me.
