Dominoes...not just for lining up to knock over. Seriously!

Apparently they're actually intended to be used in games similar to those played with playing cards.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominoes
Most domino games are blocking games, i.e. the objective is to empty one's hand whilst blocking the opponents. In the end, a score may be determined by counting the pips in the losing players' hands. In scoring games the scoring is different and happens mostly during gameplay, making it the principal objective.
