Dominate is a logic puzzle that uses a standard 'double six' set of 28 dominoes. The puzzle board represents all of the 28 dominoes from 0:0 to 6:6 placed next to each other in a 7 by 8 grid. The problem is, you can't see which squares join to which others to form the dominoes. Your task is find those links, by applying logic to determine a layout for the entire board such that each domino is used only once. FEATURES: + Auto-generated boards + An almost limitless number of puzzles + Inbuilt solver provides hints and a target time to beat + Full tutorial to help you learn the game + Tracks your progress, keeping puzzles challenging + Pause the game to easily see your progress TIMING & HINTS: Dominate rates each puzzle it generates to give you a target time, the faster you are the higher your score.
