The only thought I had after watching that was that white men mustn't be very good at dominoes.

Dominoes is a very fun game when played at a high level. I'm sorry I missed this.

There are two main types of domino games: block games and draw games.

The game is strictly for gamboolers as the skill inherent in the game is not of any great complexity or depth.

Seriously, how many times have the announcers said at the beginning of a "hand" (or whatever its called) "So and So has this. He's going to win."

They all seem to be Jamaican? It's real dull to watch because it goes a little too fast for the normies like me to understand. When I played, I didn't even use their ruleset, as it really seems like possibly the stupidest one ever... (just get rid of all ur tiles!?)

Actually competitive dominos is more popuplar in Central/South America than North America. Players were all told they had to sit perfectly still as to not give away "tells" to their partner as to what they had.

Talk about a snore fest. Geezus, 4 guys sitting in a cirle, putting tiles on the table. No interaction whatsoever outside of the interviews. I hope to never see this on tv again.
