Names of the dominó tiles
In Costa Rica, at least among the people with whom I played the game, there were names for the numbers on the tiles:
1 chuzo 2 pato 3 oreja 4 pata cruzada 5 brincona 6 sena (or cena?) 0-0 pastilla de jabón 1-1 ojos de culebra 2-2 dos patos 3-3 hiedra venenosa 4-4 alacrán 5-5 pepitas de oro 6-6 furgón What other names might they have in other countries? |

That was a double-six set I was referring to, the only version I have encountered. Apparently in some countries, such as Cuba, the double-nine set is more popular. What an undertaking it must be to learn the names of all those numbers, if in fact they have names!
