What is Domino?

A domino is a rectangular tile with a line down the middle that visually separates it into two squares. Each side has a number of spots, called pips, that indicate its value, or rank. Dominoes are used to play a wide variety of games. Most dominoes have a different value on each end, with the most valuable one having six pips, and the lowest one having none or blank (sometimes referred to as zeros). The most common sets contain 28 tiles, which are shuffled into a pile known as the boneyard, and then arranged in a grid called the stock. Players draw seven tiles from the stock, and then place them, face down, on their own domino board. Unlike dice or playing cards, dominoes do not have any markings on the back, so each player can see their own tiles at all times.

Aside from the purely aesthetic appeal, there are many practical uses for domino. For example, dominoes can be used to create designs on a tabletop or wall, and they can also help train children’s motor skills. Creating a domino design requires careful planning. A person must determine the direction in which the dominoes will fall, what shape the track will be, and how many dominoes will be used. Once a design is completed, the next step is to start placing the dominoes. Unlike real dominoes, which are stacked in a straight line, the domino art created on a wall or tabletop can be curved and even 3D.

For a writer, the domino effect is a useful concept to keep in mind when writing a story. Just like the pieces of a domino set are arranged in order to form an intricate pattern, the elements of a story should flow together in a way that makes sense to the reader. If a scene contradicts or runs counter to what the reader thinks is logical, it can throw off the entire narrative.

In the comics world, Domino’s ability to create an effect that causes everything around her to break down or disappear is often compared to a domino effect. The character has an unconsciously controlled talent that emanates from her body at all times, but in order for it to kick in, she must voluntarily put herself in a stressful situation.

Domino can also use her powers to perform a type of chain reaction, called a Domino Cascade. This is when she causes a series of events to occur, but it requires a great deal of chance and luck in order to work. Using the Domino Cascade in a story allows the author to tell a compelling story about an otherwise morally questionable action taken by the hero. For the Domino effect to be successful, however, it’s important that the writer provides sufficient reason and motivation for the character to engage in the immoral act. By doing so, the reader is able to give the hero a pass and continue to view him as a hero.
