The oldest confirmed written mention of dominoes in China comes from the Former Events in Wulin (i.e. the capital Hangzhou) written by the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) author Zhou Mi (1232-1298), who listed "pupai" (gambling plaques or dominoes) as well as dice as items sold by peddlers during the reign of Emperor Xiaozong of Song (r. 1162-1189).[1] Andrew Lo asserts that Zhou Mi meant dominoes when referring to pupai, since the Ming author Lu Rong (1436-1494) explicitly defined pupaias dominoes (in regards to a story of a suitor who won a maiden's hand by drawing out four winning pupai from a set).[1]
The earliest known manual written about dominoes is the Manual of the Xuanhe Period (1119-1125) written by Qu You (1347-1433).[1] In the Encyclopedia of a Myriad of Treasures, Zhang Pu (1602-1641) described the game of laying out dominoes as pupai, although the character for puhad changed, yet retained the same pronunciation.[1] Traditional Chinese domino games include Tien Gow, Pai Gow, Che Deng, and others. The thirty-two-piece Chinese domino set, made to represent each possible face of two thrown dice and thus have no blank faces, differs from the twenty-eight-piece domino set found in the West during the mid 18th century.[2]
Many different domino sets have been used for centuries in various parts of world to play a variety of domino games. Each domino originally represented one of the 21 results of throwing two 6-sided dice (2d6). One half of each domino is set with the pips from one die and the other half contains the pips from the second die. Chinese sets also introduce duplicates of some throws and divide the dominoes into two classes: military and civil. Chinese dominoes are also longer than typical European dominoes.
The early 18th century witnessed dominoes making their way to Europe, making their first appearance in Italy. The game changed somewhat in the translation from Chinese to the European culture. European domino sets contain neither class distinctions nor the duplicates that went with them. Instead, European sets contain seven additional dominoes, with six of these representing the values that result from throwing a single die with the other half of the tile left blank, and the seventh domino representing the blank-blank (0-0) combination.
Ivory Dominoes were routinely used in 19th century rural England in the settling of disputes over traditional grazing boundaries, and were commonly referred to as "bonesticks" (see Hartley, Land Law in West Lancashire in the mid- 19th Century, Farm Gazette, March 1984).

Dominoes were originally played in China. Historians suspect that the modern dominoes were adapted from Chinese dominoes that Italian missionaries brought back to Europe with them.
There are multiple steps in playing dominoes. The first is to acquire a domino set and pick a place to play. Once you do that, then shuffle the dominoes and draw 7 dominoes for each person, and decide the order of play. Start laying the dominoes one person at a time. When somebody lays all 7 of their dominoes, the game ends.
