Pai Gow – whose origins predate the Song Dynasty, and whose name translates roughly to ‘make nine’ – is a game played with 32 Chinese dominoes, the goal of which is to create a winning hand. In this way, the game doesn’t differ too much from poker. Like poker the dominoes in pairs are ranked from best pair to have to worst. The demarcations of the pairs boil down to Chinese mythology, with the best pair being the Supreme Creator, and the others being Civilian Pairs (Earth, Goose, Plum flower) and Military Pairs (based on the numbered military ranking from 1 – 9). To win, players must make the best of two hands, a low hand and a high hand. The pips on the dominoes for 1 and 4 are red, while the rest are white, in tradition with classic Chinese dominoes.
