Other than playing games of strategy, another common pastime using domino tiles is to stand them on edge in long lines, then topple the first tile, which falls on and topples the second, etc., resulting in all of the tiles falling. Arrangements of thousands of tiles have been made that took several minutes to fall. The chain reaction of falling domino tiles is referred to as domino effect. |

By analogy, similar phenomena of chains of small events each causing similar events leading to eventual catastrophe are called domino effects. |
