Game Inventor

I like to invent my own games. Here are a couple of recent inventions, both involving dominos.

Your Tail is On Fire

In this game, the "firestarter" stacks dominos in small piles, some of the dominos in the pile are face up while others are face down. Next, the "firecatcher" has to choose a pile of dominos and lift them off the pile one at a time. If the firecatcher draws a domino that is face up, the firestarter yells, "Your tail is on fire. Your tail is on fire."

Crash Dominos

Each side arranges 14 dominos in a line. The sides then take turns choosing a domino to crash into the other side. The crashed domino is then kept by the "crashee" side while the "crasher" gets to keep all the dominos that were pushed out of the line by the crash. The winner (not that we've ever managed to play to the end) is the person with no dominos left.
