"Hi, my name is Blake Whitaker, and I am going to teach you the game of dominoes. What you are going to need to start is a playing surface, such as a table. After you find your playing surface, you are going to want to get a pad of paper and a pen so that you can keep score. Next, of course you need your set of dominoes—which today we are playing with double sixes, meaning that the highest domino in this set is a pair of sixes. Along with double sixes, you can also play with a set that is double nines, meaning that the highest domino is a double nine. You are ready to begin, and we dump out the dominoes onto the table, spread them out, and shuffle the dominoes. "
