Domino is an age-old game of skill and chance. Popular all around the world, this timeless pastime embodies human connections through social interaction. Culturally significant in many societies around the globe, dominoes symbolize our desire for connection and companionship while providing children an introduction to numbers and counting. It can even help teach math concepts.
Each domino is a small rectangular block made of hard cardboard with two square ends marked by dots or blank spaces and decorated in common designs. Dividable along its long edge into two identically patterned sides; their backs remain undistinguishable from one another. Dominoes resemble a dice in that their numbering corresponds with each end, although not exactly identically. Named so because the first player to play a domino causes its matching end to touch an existing domino in the center of the board, thus creating a chain of adjacent dominoes. Each domino in a chain has a specific point of contact known as its node. All subsequent pieces played to this node must touch it at either of its ends either directly or across from it (depending on which game is being played), creating an inexorably-growing snake-like chain as each new piece is added to it.

Hevesh first began creating domino chains as a child with her friends, becoming fascinated with how much force was necessary to set one into motion. Later on she would post videos of her creations online through YouTube – her videos became so popular that movies and TV shows began asking her to create domino displays; additionally she has created numerous art projects using dominoes as clients asked her directly for assistance.
Domino’s success can be attributed to their ability to understand consumer needs and respond accordingly. They modified their menu, improved food quality and expanded into unfamiliar countries – an example of businesses being fearless enough to step outside their comfort zones and try something different.
While Domino’s leadership change was an impactful shakeup in the pizza industry, their CEO Doyle has made strides toward turning around their company. He has met with franchisees to address their concerns while meeting with employees individually to identify what’s working and what isn’t. These initiatives are helping restore trust within the organization.
