Domino is a tile-based game that can be used to play a variety of different games. When a domino is tipped over, it causes the next one to tip over, and so on, until all the tiles have fallen. This can result in some very complex and elaborate designs. There are also a number of domino games that involve stacking the tiles to form shapes or to create patterns.

While there are many different ways to play domino, the most common involves placing a series of dominoes on end in long lines and then hitting them so that they all fall over. This results in a sequence of events that can have very complicated–and often catastrophic–consequences. This kind of domino play has led to the coinage of the term “domino effect” to describe a situation in which one small event leads to a chain reaction with much larger ramifications.

When the first domino is tipped over, it releases energy that makes the other pieces in the line want to move as well. Until the last domino falls, they remain inert and resistant to movement, but once it does, it unleashes the potential energy of all the other dominoes. This is why it is important to plan out a domino design before you begin playing the game, as you can avoid making mistakes that could lead to the domino effect.

The word domino is derived from the Latin, dominus (master of the house). Its English spelling came to be influenced by the French, dominie, which itself was probably a diminutive of dominus or dominique, a name given to a type of monastic hood. In the 18th Century, western dominoes became a popular fad and were imported into England from France, possibly by French prisoners of war, where the game was played in inns and taverns.

Today, domino is a multi-billion dollar business with thousands of locations worldwide. The company has developed a strong technology base and is experimenting with new ways for customers to order their pizzas, such as texting or using Amazon Echo devices. Dominos is even developing a purpose-built pizza delivery vehicle.

In writing, a scene domino is an individual point in the story that advances the plot by adding detail or information or creating conflict. It is important to have a clear understanding of the domino effect, so that you can plan out your scenes in advance and ensure that they work together. A story with too many scene dominoes thrown out in quick succession may seem chaotic and unfocused, while a carefully planned out story will flow naturally. This will keep readers engaged and give them a sense of what the story is trying to say. It will also help them understand why a character would do something that seems illogical or outside of social norms. This will allow them to either forgive the character’s immoral behavior or keep liking them as a hero. Ultimately, this is what keeps them coming back to your story.
