On Sunday I was searching for some cards in my storage boxes, when I stumbled upon this old game I received from Santa Claus when I was a child. Luckily I have some of those old games left and they are still very usable, not missing all the essential parts.
This was one of my favourites. It is very simple and very tricky, just as a good game should be.
It is called Fantastic Dominos (Fantastiset dominot) and it is an altered version of the old domino game.
Here you have one board that can be used on both sides (so you have 2 games in 1), and they have different patterns consisting of sort of spikes. Then there is a set of these black domino sticks, each of them has punched holes coordinating with the board patterns. The player should find the right solution by setting all the sticks on the board in the right position. All sticks must be used, of course. This can be played very well on one´s own.
I am not quite sure whether this Fantastic Dominos is Finnish or was it sold in other countries as well. If you know anything about it I´d love to hear! And of course it would be great to hear about those games you had and played with as a child. If you have any photos, please feel free to email me, maybe we can make a set for others to view.
By the way, I will not put this domino game back where it was. I am going to keep it on the table in our living room for more regular brain training!
