Domino Days
Screenings
Dominoes is a game that can be played in different ways. With different rules for different cultures. Solo and teams. Tournaments. For money on the table. Six dots, nine dots. But what is consistent is the loud trash talking across the tables, the slamming down of “bones,” the strategy of predicting what the next player has in their hand. Throwing Bones. Caribbean Chess.
In an ever-changing digital world, where unscripted human interaction can feel limited, dominoes brings people together for games that take all night with friendships that last a lifetime.
