Rule variations[edit]

  • Oriented Dominoes: Present in WPC 2000. Numbers are represented by dots as in classic domino. Orientation of the dots mhas to be taken into account.
  • In WPC 2012/Round 1, some numbers were blanked out and solvers had to reconstruct these numbers too.

History of the puzzle[edit]

The puzzle was patented in 1893 by Richard Osa (Germany), under the name "Dominosa Omnibus".[1]

Variants[edit]
