1. A domino structure comprising:
a body having a generally symmetrical profile with a trapezoidal side geometry from a wider base to a narrower top;
a front face and a rear face that are generally rectangular and include rounded edges;
a center of mass located below a vertical midpoint of the body; and
a base surface configured to provide upright stability and enable controlled toppling when manually initiated;
wherein the front and rear faces taper inward from the base toward the top, forming a second trapezoidal profile along an axis perpendicular to the sidewalls such that the combined taper creates a three-dimensional wedge shape that further lowers the center of gravity and improves resistance to tipping;
wherein the center of gravity is further lowered by an internal weight positioned asymmetrically below the geometric center, the weight being greater than 2 grams and structured to enhance recovery from partial tipping and stabilize the domino on uneven or soft surfaces; and
wherein one or more exterior surfaces include tactile features selected from the group consisting of shallow ridges, stippling, and patterned contours such that the exterior features correspond to the direction of taper and are configured to enhance orientation awareness, grip security, and stacking alignment and wherein the textured surface provides necessary anti-slip friction to prevent slippage when multiple dominoes are stacked on top of each other.
