Abstract

A set of candle dominoes includes a domino playground and a plurality of domino members. The domino playground has a playing area and includes a plurality of holding seats. The domino members are erected on the playing area in predetermined domino sequence to define a starter domino member and a final domino member, wherein each of the domino members includes a wax-made domino body sitting at the corresponding holding seat and an ignition rope upwardly extended from a top surface of the domino body for being ignited to produce an illumination effect, wherein the holding seats initially hold the domino member at an upright position and allow the domino member to be toppled, wherein when the starter domino member is toppled to hit an adjacent domino member until the final domino member is toppled, the domino members are sequentially brought down by the previous domino members.

Claims

1. A candle dominoes set, comprising:

a plurality of holding seats adapted for spacedly erected on a playing area; and

a plurality of domino members spacedly and selectively erected on said playing area in predetermined domino sequence to define at least one starter domino member as the first of said domino sequence and at least one final domino member as the end of said domino sequence, wherein each of said domino members comprises a wax-made domino body sitting at said one of said holding seats and an ignition element upwardly extended from a top surface of said domino body for being ignited to produce an illumination effect, wherein said holding seats initially hold said domino member at an upright position and allow said domino member to be toppled at any direction, wherein when said starter domino member is toppled to hit an adjacent domino member until said final domino member is toppled, said domino members are sequentially brought down by said previous domino members to form a predetermined illumination domino pattern on said playing area.

2. The candle dominos set, as recited in claim 1, further comprising a playing mat of a predetermined shape defining said playing area within said playing mat, where said holding seats are spacedly provided within said playing mat for normally holding said domino members thereon.

3. The candle dominos set, as recited in claim 1, further comprising a plurality of flexible guiding tracks spacedly provided on said playing area to define said playing area between said flexible guiding tracks, wherein said domino members are spacedly disposed on said playing area along said flexible guiding tracks for forming a predetermined illumination domino pattern when said domino members are sequentially toppled along said flexible guiding tracks.

4. The candle dominoes set, as recited in claim 2, wherein each of said domino bodies further has a top surface, a bottom surface, and a rounded side surface extended between said top surface and said bottom surface to form a three-dimension structure of said domino body, wherein said side surface of each of said domino member has an area substantially larger than an area of each of said top surface and said bottom Surface, so that when said front surface of one of said domino members is toppled by said rear surface of said adjacent domino member, said domino member is easily brought down by said adjacent domino member to ultimately create said sequential illumination domino pattern on said playing area.
