Concepts:

Probability, Logical Reasoning

Equipment:

1 set of dominoes

Goal/Object:

To have the most dominoes at the end of the game.

How to Play

The dominoes are placed face down and mixed. Player one begins by turning one domino over. Player one must now declare whether they are going for greater than or less than. Player one turns over the next domino, if it is as the player declared, the player can choose to keep both dominoes and end their turn or risk it and try for a third (they may not change their declaration for the third domino). If they turn over the third domino and it too fits the declaration, then player one gets to keep all 3 dominoes. Player two then takes their turn.

Examples:

Player one turns over a 3 and declares "Greater Than". Player one then turns over a 5 and decides to risk it. Player one turns over an 11, keeps all 3 dominoes and their turn has ended. Player two turns over a 7 and declares "Less Than". Player two turns over a 4 and risks it. Player two turns over an 7 and is "busted" (7 is = to 7 not less than) loosing all 3 dominoes from that turn. Player One turns over an 8 declares "Less Than". Player One turns over a 6 and decides to keep both dominoes and end their turn.
