About this board game
Spinner is a domino variant for 2-8 players, with games lasting about 30 minutes. Released in 1983, it builds on standard dominoes with two distinctive changes that shape how the pieces are used.
Some dominoes feature a wild symbol on one of their faces, allowing that face to serve as a flexible element within the game. The set also includes a double wild domino, adding another form of wild capability to the available pieces.
The second major difference concerns double dominoes. Rather than being built from in a single continuation, double dominoes are built off of in four directions. This gives them a distinctive role in the layout and sets Spinner apart from standard domino play.
- Domino variant for 2-8 players
- Approximately 30 minutes per game
- Dominoes with a wild symbol on one face
- A double wild domino
- Double dominoes built off of in four directions
These changes make Spinner a clearly defined variation on the traditional domino format. Its combination of wild faces and four-direction construction provides the central identity of the game while retaining the familiar foundation of dominoes.
For players looking for a domino game with a different structure, Spinner offers a compact variant built around two straightforward but notable twists: wild domino faces and expanded building from doubles.
