A domino is a tile-like piece of material that, when set into motion, causes something much larger to fall, often in a chain reaction. Although its initial effect might not seem dramatic at first, subsequent dominoes can quickly increase in size until becoming much more striking than their predecessors. A domino is frequently used as an allegory to depict how one event influences or affects another – this phenomenon is commonly known as “the domino effect.”
Hevesh begins building her display by making several test versions of each section prior to mounting them on a wall, so as to allow for precise adjustments and ensure dominoes work as one unit. Sections are assembled flat before she adds the largest 3-D pieces. She then performs slow-motion tests of her whole arrangement and if successful completes her domino line.
Domino has the power to influence laws of probability and manipulate odds in her favor; she is also a weapon expert with an anti-projection staff that shoots projectiles. Domino initially joined Cable’s Wild Pack; later she joined X-Force after an expedition in Rumekistan went wrong when an Ekatarina Gryaznova controlled its feedback system neurologically by controlling her droid under test with neurological control techniques.
Some domino sets are made from materials other than polymer. These include stone (e.g. marble, granite or soapstone); other woods such as acacia and ash; metals such as brass or pewter; and ceramic clay. While such sets tend to be more costly than those constructed from polymer, they provide an authentic appearance and feel.
Dominoes can be easily identified by their distinguishing markings: dominoes feature an arrangement of spots or dots known as pips on their top surfaces, while their under surfaces remain either blank or identically patterned. Some sets can even be “extended” by adding ends with more or fewer pips to increase the possible combinations and numbers of dominoes in a set.
Dominoes can be used for much more than blocking and scoring games; they’re also great for solo play or trick-taking – two popular card variants often played to circumvent religious prohibitions against card gambling. Dominoes can also be used as educational activities by teaching math skills such as counting pips on dominoes – particularly useful when developing mathematical ability!
