Our travel-sized version of Double 12 dominoes uses the most efficient material for travel size and weight: playing cards!
Domino-size playing cards are 1/4 size versions of playing cards, which is very nearly the same size as domino tiles. We love this size because they're just like dominoes, and they couldn't be more compact and lightweight for travelers.
Poker size cards are the same as a standard deck of playing cards. Easy to shuffle and easy to hold, they work for tabletop dominoes because of our unique corner numbers.
Completely hand-drawn, the full-color set features a unique pip color for each domino value (1-12) for faster recognition and innovative corner numbers for viewing all the dominoes fanned out in one hand.
2-10 Players. Can be turned into Double 9 or Double 6 dominoes simply by removing the higher-numbered cards.
"Mexican Train" is one of our customers' favorite games and this set was designed specially for this game, with 10 train cards, a "quick start guide" with how many cards to deal how many players, and a link to complete rules of play and a free printable scoresheet.
During prototyping and testing, we carefully tested several sizes and styles of material to end up with just the right material and size for these dominoes. The thin, FSC-certified card stock provides the best table action for dominoes: they don't glide across the table with air-cushioned ease (a feature you want in regular playing cards but not with domino cards!) and the thinner material is easier to pick up and put down into domino formations. Because a double 12 set requires 91 tiles, the total size and weight is the more efficient and cost effective than wood or leather tiles.
For shuffling, we find the domino-size cards are easier and faster to flip over than traditional domino tiles. Shuffle them just like you do with tiles: turn facedown and swirl around the table, "Monaco style".
INCLUDES: 91 domino cards (from 0/0 to 12/12), 10 train cards, 4 blank replacement cards, and 1 Mexican Train "quick start guide" with link to full rules of play in carrying tuck box (that can be also used as a train hub!).

Just what I was looking for. It's been fun to slip the travel size dominos into my pocket to take to the brewery to play dominos with my friends. As much as I love the tactile feel of a real set of dominos, I was happily surprised how great these card style dominos work. Play on!
Definitely not worth the money. The cards are a little bit smaller than actual dominoes. They are also hard to hold and view when you have more than 6 cards.
The Poker Size cards are a new size you'll love for easier holding in the hand. They are the size of regular playing cards. Yet with the corner index numbers, they don't take up too much space on the table. I wish we had been given an opportunity to try to make this right for you. If you don't love it, we do accept returns. -Geoff
I got three sets of the dominoes cards and everyone loved them. What a great way to take a fun game with you and not take up space. Love these!
