Dominate

The rules are simple, but there is much strategy under the surface. Although the game looks like dominos, the thinking needed to solve it is similar to that in sudoku. The tutorial is good, but the hints are an even better way to learn because they come just when you need them. Each new version has been better than the previous one. The latest version adds a better point assignment system; previous updates made the interface much nicer. This should be considered one of the all-time great computer games. It is too bad it is only on iOS.

I enjoy the game very much. I would appreciate having the ability to disable the hint function - or at least relocate it - so I don’t accidentally tap it when trying to undo/redo. It would also be very nice if the developer would share the method by which scores and rankings are calculated.

In this game, it looks quite simple, but it’s not; it’s quite challenging. All 28 dominoes have been placed in a 7x7 square grid, but you can’t see the edges of the individual dominoes, so you can’t tell which two numbers go on a single domino. It’s your job to figure out where each individual domino is. The logic is much like Sudoku. It’s I’d give it 5 stars if its hints included help with where you have made mistakes. It looked like some hints were wrong, but that might have been a result of my having made prior mistakes. It also needs some way to help you track when you’ve narrowed down the possibilities.
