These unusual Moon Dominoes are black and white, as well as rectangular in shape, but they are very different looking from a conventional domino. The set by Fredericks & Mae is made from painted wood, but instead of painting on a series of small dots, the set uses silkscreened images of the different phases of the moon.
The $80 domino set is an unconventional twist to an age-old game, although it still can be played in the same way. However, it might take some keen observation skills to tell some of those sliver-thin crescents apart. Even so, one of the best things about dominoes is that if playing an actual game fails, you can still stack them on end and topple them over.
