  • Patent number: 5120068
    Abstract: A domino game is provided wherein some of the domino pieces have rotatable or convertible end sections that thus permit player a choice as the symbol to be displayed when the game piece is played. Symbols are displayed on both sides of each game piece, and the game pieces having rotatable or convertible ends can be changed to display alternative symbols, thereby adding to the challenge and complexity of the game. Preferably, the symbols comprise representations of U.S. or foreign currency or coins, with each game piece displaying both the front and back of at least one denomination. In one embodiment, the convertible game pieces comprise relatively rotatable sections. In an alternative embodiment, the game pieces have end sections that may be pivoted or flipped over, rather than rotated, to display different symbols. In another embodiment, each game piece comprises two separate sections which may be mated together in various orientations.
