Competitive Dominoes: How To Play Like A Champion

Very informative and helpfull in the strategy of the latin dominoes.

Partner's Dominoes - How to get it all!

I liked this version of dominoes by Mr. Lugo. It is about most of a one game variation which is a Block game for partners, but there is a lot explored too. I play every day on a small hand-held Radica domino electronic game a similar variation of Block. I can't get enough of it just like Mr. Lugo with his Block game! His book really helped me to appreciate more and more all Block dominoes and stay interested with it too - which is saying a lot! I think I will soon start my own league too!

Really, I have in this book all I need to learn the game.

At last! A book on how to play the real game of Dominoes. This book is like a text and a reference guide at the same time. I like the way Mr. Lugo guides the reader by ascending steps towards the "Advanced Skills" (How to communicate with your partner, play the Doubles, Pull a Hand, Locate Unplayed Tiles, Jam a game, etc.). You will definitely play like a champion and, what's more important, the game will become an endless challenge. You will enjoy it more and also suffer it more! The Sample Games and the illustrations are a jewel! In my case, I know many of the parameters addressed in the book, but I learned and corrected some of the wrong concepts I had. Also I got a lot of reassurance about my game from it.
