About Domino-Games.com

The purpose of Domino-Games.com is to provide an informational portal for the great game of dominoes. At the time that this site was conceived, there were a number of excellent sites that offer domino rules, and a few that offered domino software, but there was no single site that brought it all together -- everything domino, all under one roof, so to speak. That's the purpose of this site.

Thus the tagline: Your Dominoes Portal - All Dominoes, All The Time

Domino-Games.com offers the following for those seeking to learn about dominoes and play domino games:

• Dominoes Information: You can learn about the history of dominoes and the basics of gameplay, find links to other domino sites, and find out where to purchase dominoes and domino accessories.

In addition, Domino-Games.com provides, for each of these games, links to other domino rules on the web, so that you'll be assured of the most authorative and complete set of domino rules on the net.
• Domino Software: The aim of Domino-Games.com is to provide the most comprehensive directory of domino games available -- freeware, shareware, and commercial -- for all popular operating systems, including Windows, Macintosh, PocketPC, and PalmOS.
• Online Dominoes: Domino-Games.com provides a directory of online domino games. This includes simple you-against-the-computer games, one-on-one games against real people, and online domino tournaments.
