Ambigram Dominoes

For years we were known for our Ambigram dominoes. An ambigram is a something that is readable from different perspectives. In the case of dominoes you can read the domino both upside right and upside down.

You can see a detailed explanation of ambigrams on the WIKI page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambigram

What Happened to the Domino Creator?

In 2015 there was an issue with the site for the company that created our ambigrams for the dominoes and that site went down for a while.

At this point in time the links from our site to his to create Ambigram dominoes went down also.

He now has a brand new awesome site up and running but there is no direct link anymore between our two sites.

Step 2 – Order your Dominoes

2. Order a set of dominoes (any dominoes) from our site and put into the engraving area “AMBIGRAM”. You can select any color dominoes and choose the engraving color using

the button pictured here. Both the dominoes and your box will be engraved with the Ambigram selected.

  • Make sure to forward a copy of the PDF you receive along with the page number of the ambigram you like to us so we can extract your Ambigram and engrave it on the dominoes. Please also let us know which one is your preference – the only ones that do not work are the round ones because dominoes are rectangular. The one or two lines ones both will work just fine – including those with “AND” in them.

I know that a multiple step process is inconvenient, The results are a fantastic set of dominoes so worth the extra step.
