This review is from: Tin Dominoes, Dbl 6 28 Color Dot Dominoes (Cover May Vary) (Toy)
Alright folks ─ I’ll say up front that I’m not just any kind of domino enthusiast…I’ve been playing for over 20 years, and have written a book on the topic entitled The Simple Guide on How to Play Dominoes– so I hope I’m not being too picky with my review of this set. I only want to provide a clear picture of what you’re getting.
There are pros and cons so I’ll do cons first, then pros.
Cons: -The set had a strong smell to it. Like paint and plastic (the stuff it’s made of) but it took a while for it to taper off. – Some tiles had a weird residue on their surface; others had specs of paint, or barely visible smudges. You really get the sense that these are mass-produced, which all sets are, but this one looks and smells like it.
Pros: – These dominoes are sturdy. I’ve slammed a few down during a game and it felt good. When I opened the tin and saw that these dominoes were thinner than what I am used to, I was disappointed, but it turned out that the thinner tiles were better for slamming ─ they’re not as clunky as my “fancy” set. -Speaking of thinner tiles, these dominoes are easier for my children to handle. – I like the use of colors to identify different suits in the game. Again, it’s a plus when teaching beginners to play. – This set is certainly not pro quality, but is perfect for playing at home (game nights), or taking on vacation.
Overall I am satisfied with my purchase. I got it for family game nights and I wanted a set that the kids could have to themselves. This was exactly what I was looking for.

The pieces are perfectly shaped and uniform in size, making them great for stacking, lining them up to knock down, or to actually play as dominoes.
The product description say’s they’re hard plastic, but I’m almost certain they’re porcelain. They have the sound, feel, and weight of porcelain, and if they’re not porcelain, kudos to whoever invented a plastic that acts 100% like porcelain.
The painted dots are neat and colorful.
I bought two sets to line them up and knock them down with the kids.
Absolutely a no brainer if looking for dominos.

I ordered two boxes for my kid’s scientific projects. Both came as damaged tin boxes with poor packaging. Worst of it is that the dominoes in two boxes coming with different size. One is at least 2mm thicker than the other.
