Dominoes are a game or puzzle in which players place one domino on top of another to form a line of dominoes. They can be played in a variety of ways, including using straight lines or curved lines, grids that form pictures when the dominoes fall, and even 3D structures such as towers or pyramids. Dominoes are usually made of a combination of wood and plastic, although sets can also be found in natural materials such as bone or silver lip ocean pearl oyster shell (mother of pearl). They are typically marked with black or white pips that are either inlaid or painted on each domino.
A player wins a domino game by completing the most dominoes in the shortest amount of time. In some games, the first domino is set up so that it cannot be knocked over, while in others a player must complete the entire line of dominoes to win. Depending on the game, the number of dominoes required can vary from a few to hundreds.
There are a few different types of domino games, the most common being blocking and scoring. Blocking games require players to place their dominoes edge to edge with the same numbers so that they form a row of identical dominoes or total some specified number. Scored domino games are based on matching pairs of tiles, with each pair of dominoes having the same total number of pips on their adjacent faces. There are also solitaire and trick-taking games that use dominoes.
Hevesh has built a reputation for creating mind-blowing domino setups, and her installations can take up to a week to complete. Her process involves considering the theme of the installation, brainstorming images or words that might be used, and then planning how each piece will fit together. She then tests each section of the design before putting it all together.
The resulting pieces can be used in flat arrangements or 3-D sections, with the latter often forming giant artworks or portraits. Some of her most elaborate creations have used more than 300 dominoes, with each section of the installation connected to the next by a line of dominoes. She has also created a series of videos that demonstrate how each of her installations are designed and put together.
