Features of Choosing Dominoes Sets

Dominoes are not just a game; they are a part of memories, moments that can easily be forgotten if the dominoes don’t fit.

However, so that this game does not become dusty on the shelf, you need to choose the right set, which will please for many years. So how to choose the perfect dominoes?

What Do You Need to Know About the Components of Dominoes Game Sets?

Today there is a wide range of dominoes, suitable for different age categories and preferences. From classic sets to more extravagant options with dots and numbers. Let’s dwell more on the characteristics that are important to consider when choosing.

1. Assortment and Sizes

Dominoes are more than just a game. It is a whole world, which can be both compact and large-scale, from 28 to 190 tiles. Classic sets of 28 tiles are a choice for those who appreciate simplicity and tradition, with them you can always spend an evening in the company of loved ones, without overloading yourself with complexities.

But if you want something more — there is MEGA dominoes. It is not just a set, but a real scale, where as many as 190 tiles turn each game into a fascinating adventure full of strategies and unexpected turns. The tiles in the MEGA set are much larger, which provides comfort in the game and a vivid impression of each move.

Sets with 28 tiles are the standard for most family games, but if you want to diversify, choose sets with 55, 91, or 190 tiles. The more tiles, the more play options, and the longer and more interesting your play sessions will be.

2. Domino Sets with Holders

The Queensell store’s lineup includes not only standard sets but also those that include domino holders. This is not just a nice bonus, but also a practical convenience, because the stands allow you to keep the tiles in order and not to lose them during the game. Especially it is actual for big sets, such as MEGA dominoes, where without stands it is easy to get lost among many tiles.

3. Design and Colors of Dominoes

One of the most important aspects in choosing dominoes is the design of the tiles. Our sets range from traditional dominoes with dots to more modern ones with numbers. Tiles can come in a variety of colors such as white, black, and ivory, offering a classic and elegant look. Additionally, the dots themselves can come in different colors, adding a vibrant touch to the game.

Some sets, for example, dominoes with colored dots, will give you a real spectacle: the game becomes not only fascinating, but also visually pleasant. Colored dots speed up perception, help to build strategies faster, and, of course, make the process of playing brighter. For lovers of classics — dominoes with black dots on white tiles will always be an actual choice. Such sets are time-tested and popular among families looking for harmony between tradition and simplicity.

4. Tile Sizes

The size of the tiles depends on the number of tiles in the set. Sets with 28 tiles have standard sizes — about 1.9” x 0.9” x 0.4”. The more tiles in the set, the larger the size of each tile, for example, in MEGA dominoes the tile size reaches 3” x 1.5” x 3/4”. This allows for more comfortable play, especially if there are many players on the table.

5. Materials

Material is an important aspect that determines the durability and ergonomics of the game. There are domino sets made of different materials on sale:

• Melamine is one of the most popular materials for making dominoes. It is durable, easy to clean and looks modern. The melamine surface won’t rub off, making dominoes a durable choice for regular play.
  
• Wood is for lovers of tradition. Wooden tiles give the game a special warmth and atmosphere. If the surface of wood is qualitatively processed, such tiles last long and feel pleasant in hands.
  
• Metal is the choice for those who aren’t afraid to stand out. Incredibly stylish material that gives dominoes a special sophistication. Metal tiles are not just strong and durable, they seem to speak about your taste, about elegance, which does not shout, but quietly declares itself. This is for those who appreciate out-of-the-box solutions and are ready to add a little luxury to the game that will last for years to come.

6. Domino Sets with Different Numbers of Tiles

The difference between 28 and 91 tile domino sets is like the difference between an evening tea party in the kitchen and a noisy family feast, where not everyone knows each other by name, but they are already laughing together.

«Double Six», 28 tiles, is that classic, recognizable feel to the set. Everything is precisely measured: from 0-0 to 6-6 — a total of 28 unique combinations, like a neat notebook with filled cells. It was born for a chamber game: 2, maximum 4 players — to have time to look into each other's eyes, to compete without hurry. It is ideal for games such as All-Fives, Draw Game, Block Game, Classic Dominoes, or even Chickenfoot. It can also be played with Mexican Train, but it's like being in a railroad car where there wasn't enough room for everyone — fun, but crowded.

But «Double Twelve», 91 tiles — that's a real all-rounder. The numbers stretch to 12, and there are so many combinations that the game turns into a true theatrical performance: longer, wider, more intense. This set is made for larger groups — up to eight players or more, if laughter takes over. It truly comes alive in Mexican Train, where each player takes their own track and adds to the thrill as the game unfolds. Games like All-Fives, Chickenfoot, Block Game, and Classic Dominoes become more than just pastime — they evolve into near board-game epics.

And yet, the essence is the same: both 28 and 91 aren't just numbers. They're two moods, two rhythms, two ways to spend an evening. One is short, like a toast. The other — with a continuation.

Experts' Recommendations

Experts recommend choosing dominoes that will be comfortable in the hand and have a stable surface. It is also worth paying attention to the set — if the set has a stand or a case, it will be a big plus. It is important to consider how many tiles you need for the game. If you are going to play with a small company, a classic set of 28 tiles will do, for a large company it is better to choose a larger set, for example, Double 12-18 dominoes set.

Here every, even the smallest, attention to details plays a role: material of tiles, their sizes, packaging — all this influences the atmosphere and comfort of the game. Here and MEGA dominoes with its impressive tiles and infinitely fascinating number of elements and Mexican Train Dominoes are ideal companions for long evenings with close people.
