Holy Dominoes

So I got a set of Dominoes as a gift. I never played dominoes as a kid, except for the set up knock 'em down game. So I was excited to fill this hole in my gaming experience. The problem though with this particular set of Dominoes was that the instructions were just utter nonsense. There were so many subject/predicate disagreement and missing verbs that I could not make any sense of the rules. These rules were not written by a person who speaks English as their first language. Now I don't mind things made in China, nor do I mind going online to get info. like directions, but some English speaker should at least proof read the darn directions. Plus, the quality overall was just bad. The dots are colored, but some are missing. Some dominoes are chipped, others have splashes of paint on the back side. (though I got that off with a green pad.) So I came across a Dora pictorial version of Dominoes and read the rules, which were very clear, then I was able to play. Apparently someone in charge of Dora licensing checked or probably wrote the rules, very well done. Again I don't mind going online or hunting around a bit for clear rules, but I should not have to.

Also the set is big so it goes up to the 12/12 dot piece. The kids and I had a great time playing both Dominoes and the set 'em up knock 'em down game.
