Dominoes is a family of tile-based games played with gaming pieces. Each domino is a rectangular tile, usually with a line dividing its face into two square ends. Each end is marked with a number of spots (also called pips or dots) or is blank. The backs of the tiles in a set are indistinguishable, either blank or having some common design.
The tiles are placed face down on the table, shuffled and then arranged in a simple rectangular grid. The goal is to collect the largest number of pairs of tiles. With double-six dominoes, pairs consist of any two tiles whose pips sum to 12. For example, the 3–5 and the 0–4 form a pair.

The notation used here for the MacMahon equilateral triangular tiles is a simple enumeration of each edge, in anti-clockwise order, starting from the bottom left edge. Rotating each tile by 120° may change this notation (e.g., after rotating the 314 tile, the revised notation would become 431 and 143 in turn) but the actual tile itself remains ...
