Cuban Dominoes
Dominoes are thought to be the national sport and game of Cuba. For many people, doing the activity regularly gives them the chance to compete with others in a healthy way while also building a strong sense of community. Locals often play sports in gardens and other public places.

This tradition is kept alive in the United States at Maximo Gomez Domino Park on Calle Ocho in Miami. “Los Veteranos,” or older Cuban men, keep a number of workstations going at all times. Many of them smoke cigars and wear the traditional guayabera top. These people are known as “Los Veteranos” as a group.
