Abstract
Apparatus for playing a domino-type game comprising a plurality of domino-like pieces intended to be joined end-to-end or end-to-side. Each of the game pieces is structurally distinctive and different from each other game piece. Each of the game pieces has one of a plurality of different interfitting geometric configurations at at least one end which is matable with a complementary geometric configuration in the end or side of another game piece to connect adjacent pieces. Numerical values may be assigned to particular geometric configurations. The game pieces are preferably packaged in a dispensing receptacle.

Apparatus for playing a domino-type game comprising a plurality of domino-like game pieces:
- (A) each of said game pieces being flat and of substantially equal length and thickness,
- (B) each of said game pieces having parallel substantially equally spaced apart sides,
- (C) each of said game pieces having one of a plurality of different interfitting geometric configurations at at least one end matable with a complementary geometric configuration in another of said game pieces to connect adjacent pieces,
- (D) each of said game pieces being structurally distinctive and different from each other game piece,
- (E) certain of said geometric configurations comprising a single geometric element and other of said geometric configurations having a plurality of geometric elements,
- (F) complementary male and female geometric configurations on said game pieces being equal in number,
- (G) certain of said game pieces being doubles in the sense of having the same male or female geometric configuration at each end, and
- (H) two of the game pieces having only a single geometric configuration at one end, the other end of the game piece being flat.
