===== Description =====

Dominoes is a board game played with numbered rectangular tiles, usually white on the face and black on the underside. The game consists of 28 pieces, the largest tile being double six.

The game is generally played by 4 players alone. You can play from 2 to 12 people by dividing the chips for it. In this game we will play against the machine.

The objective of the game is to get rid of all the tiles and if not, the one with the highest score wins. Double tiles are the only ones that are placed crosswise.
