Dominoes originated as a tile game played with rectangular pieces made by joining two squares edge to edge. Common domino sets contain 28 to 136 tiles depending on the maximum number of dots, which range from 6 to 15 dots per tile. The name "domino" likely comes from the Latin word "dominus" meaning master of the house or the black and white hood worn by Christian priests in winter from which the game takes its name.
