Some old sets of dominoes were a thin layer of ivory on a darker substrate. By now I'd expect any markings to have faded somewhat - are you sure the tiles really were blank? I've also seen sets where the ivory really was blank, but there were markings on the other side. Perhaps they are playing a cross between dominoes and liars dice? -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
