Our DIY Rock Dominoes are a perfect game to bring camping or to your next summer outing.
Summer is such a popular time for camping in Michigan. The weather is finally warm enough to spend all day and night enjoying the outdoors. I love hiking, cooking over the campfire, and visiting with friends/family but one thing that isn't so fun is trying to keep everyone occupied. The kids love being busy all the time but when the adults need their down time, our DIY Rock Dominoes come in handy.
It's easy to play dominoes. Grab a total of 4 players and place your dominoes face down, pick 7 Rock Dominoes each, and the player with the highest double places it face up to start the game. Continue to move around the table playing a domino as it fits. The first person to run out of dominoes wins! If you've never played a game of dominoes before you should check out this book.
