A game of dominoes

A tile-based game is a game that uses tiles as one of the fundamental elements of play. Traditional tile-based games use small tiles as playing pieces for gambling or entertainment games. Some board games use tiles to create their board, giving multiple possibilities for board layout, or allowing changes in the board geometry during play.

Each domino tile typically features an undifferentiated back side and a face side. These tiles are usually rectangular in shape, being twice as long as they are wide and at least twice as wide as they are thick. However, variations exist, with games featuring square, triangular, and even hexagonal tiles.
