Dominoes in Devotionis a game that is intended for children of all ages. The purpose of the game is to help children develop the skills of co-ordination and distinguishing "like" animal pictures. It is also to remember Krishna and His devotees, such as Hanuman (the Monkey Warrior) and Garuda (the Bird-Carrier of Lord Vishnu.) CONTENTS: 22 cards....21 different, 1 duplicate
PRICE: $15.00 plus shipping and handling The following five cards were taken from a complete set for demonstration purposes. All cards measure 2.5 inches by 5 inches and are made of wood:
TO PLAY: Each player receives four cards. The remainder are left stacked face
down. The top card is drawn from the deck as a "starter" card. It is placed
face up. Each player in turn finds a card that matches one of the pictures on
the card(s) already played. If he matches a card, he draws another from the
pile. If he cannot match a card, he draws another card and tries to play it.
If he cannot play that card, he continues to draw cards until he can match one.
The cards should be placed in such a way that unlike cards do not touch. The
game is over when all of the cards are matched or when someone runs out of
cards.
A MORE CHALLENGING GAME: This game is played for points. The player with the
most points at the end of the game wins.
Decide who goes first, second, third, etc. Each player receives two cards. One
card from the remaining pile of cards is played face-up as a "starter" card. If
the first player can match one of the pictures, he does so. he receives three
points for a picture of Garuda or Hanuman, two points for a peacock or cow, and
one point for an elephant or parrot that is matched. After this score is
written down, his turn is over. He picks a card to replace the one playted. If
he cannot match a card, he draws a card and forfeits his turn.
If a player can match both pictures with the card he is playing, he receives
points for both. For example, a card with a cow and Garuda that is placed
touching another card already played with a cow, and the adjoining card is
Garuda, the player can join his card of cow and Garuda with those two, thereby
receiving double points.
GAME OVER: When all cards have been picked up from the pile, each player gets
one last turn to play one mare card. (Optional) Whatever point value that is
left in each players' hand can be subtrtacted from his point total. This is not
essential....players should decide on this optional ending rule at the beginning
of the game, so all players agree.
