domino game
Quick Summary
Sniff is a popular domino game in the United States that is essentially a variation of the game muggins. In Sniff, the first double played is called "sniff" and can be placed either endwise or sidewise. Subsequent plays can be made to this piece both endwise and sidewise. Dominoes themselves are small, flat, rectangular blocks used for gaming, typically made of wood, bone, or plastic. A standard Western set has 28 pieces, each divided into two squares marked with spots, similar to dice, ranging from double-six to double-blank.1
