If you think dominos are only for kids, you’re wrong. The classic game has been given a tinsel town makeover and the result, Hollywood Domino, is about to hit the market over here.

Touted as having become a favourite to Hollywood’s A-listers, the twist is that this version is set around the film world. It allows players to become a Director of their own film and players build “Blockbusters,” “Sequel” and “Trilogies” as they battle it out for the “Oscar” domino. After 13 rounds of play, the winner is the player who comes in “under budget” on their movie and has the lowest score.

However, despite the hype, it remains to be seen whether this new style dominos will have the same appeal here, where the draw to fill the canvas back chair may not be quite as compulsive as in Hollywood.  But if you’re interested in seeing play in action and deciding for yourself, a high profile tournament will mark its launch in London in late October.
