A San Francisco-based company recently gave a classic game of strategy a modern makeover. Dominos is a tile-based game that originated in China. Although the game has been around for centuries, it has changed little since its inception.
'Fire Road' is currently running a Kickstarter campaign to reinvent dominos for the modern age. 'Edge Dominos' brings new life to a classic game of strategy through the use of a captivating and sustainable design. The new set retains the essence of the classic game, but gives each piece a more tactile design. Instead of plastic pieces, each title is made from solid aluminum. No materials are wasted during the design process and the final product is 100 percent recyclable.
With its compact and lightweight design Edge Dominos is perfect for traveling, camping or simply lounging around the house.
