Who invented the domino?

Came a thousand years ago in China from the games of dice with six sides. The chips were of bone and wore a pin on each side or warhead that was holding a piece of ebony to the contrary ocullar points.

Thus was born the famous and symbolic contrast of white and black identifying the dominoes. This came to the West in the eighteenth century to the courts of Venice v Napoli. But the name he gave the French and curiously copied it from a black hood on the outside and white on the inside than the priests wore in winter.
