Bendomino

Domino and Tile Games

Bendomino is a tile-based tabletop game published in 2007 by Blue Orange Games and designed by Thierry Denoual. It reimagines the traditional domino set by curving each of the double-six tiles through a 120-degree bend, so that a chain of matched tiles no longer runs in a straight line and instead loops and doubles back across the play area. Between two and four players draw a hand of tiles, seven for a two-player game down to five each with four players, and take turns extending the shared chain by matching the numbered pips at either open end. A version aimed at younger players replaces the numbers with pictures and symbols. Points are scored from the pips left in opponents' hands when a round ends, and the first player to reach 100 points wins the game.
