Is it wise to play Chicken Foot with a double 18 set of dominoes?

Is it wise to play Chicken foot with a double 18 set of dominoes? This domino player thinks starting that game may not have been wise. Or was it the wisest thing ever?






Not wise if you want to play an endless game of dominoes that will be the social event of your life.

Not wise if you do not enjoy long hours with your family and friends.

Not wise unless one hand of Chicken foot taking about an hour to play sounds like a dream come true.

Not wise unless you can handle the winning of anywhere between 1 and three hundred points in one round in what will be a totally random event.

Not wise if your table is only a standard home sized variety and your family cannot come to terms on the rules for stacking and you are running out of table and then chair and then floor space.

Well, maybe the game took 18 hours to play and the points were well into the thousands. However we finally came to terms on stacking and consumed no more than 1 bag of chips per round overall. So the conclusion is that it was indeed wise to play chicken foot with a double 18 set.

Would we do it again? Doubt it. After all there are so many other games to take to the extreme - anyone up for an 18 train?
