Description:

DominOSA is a mouse controlled game where you have to place all the domino stones on the gameboard according to the numbers. The program has interactive features to help you to place the stones. There is also a number of spoils (or cheats) that will help you to solve the puzzle. The game comes with over 40 different layouts.

DominOSA has both English and Dutch help texts. However the program interface is completely in English.
O.S. Adler originally designed the game in 1874 and added his own initials to the word "Domino".

For an instruction to the game and some hints on how to solve the puzzle see the site of  Domino Logic
