On the warm summer nights of my childhood in Puerto Rico, we would spend evenings out on my grandparents' carport; the hot spot for family gatherings and parties. Off to one side, next to las tías playing briscas is my favorite table: the domino table. This is where family members crowd to try their hand at attempting to unseat the elder champions, hoping to end a game in the coveted trancao en chiva; a blocked shut-out. 

 

These family memories inspired us to take a closer look at dominoes and see how we might use follies in a fun way other than to build. Follies dominoes provided us with an interesting challenge; it essentially created a 4-sided domino tile that has strategy built not only into the game play, but in the layout of the tiles too!

 

 

   

Have fun trying out these 4-sided follies dominoes - best enjoyed with a side of salsa and bomba music!
