Amazing!

Time for a little fun...

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Wow...incredible. And to think I was happy with a single straight line of maybe 50 dominos.

Thanks for posting.

How in the world did they prevent accidental triggering of the whole thing? There must have been a lot of safety devices installed during construction to contain false triggers.

Clever and carefully done

Looks like they worked from the inside out. To prevent accidents they probably pre measured short sections with no dominoes then would put them in last.

[Jonty30]

They probably put dividers between sections to ensure that any accidents would only affect what was between the dividers.

A similar subject with few dominoes;

Yes - I did watch the whole 14 minutes in morbid fascination.

Now here's what I want next -

I want to see one of these displays that resurrects itself.

(Perhaps a tiny wire string through a miniscule eyelet at the top of each
Domino that will pull it back up by the action of a heavy weight at the
end of the run. I haven't quite figured out how to redo the big fall-down
thingys yet.)

I’ve never done anything like this, but just guessing...

I bet they had to build everything twice.
First time just to make sure it worked the way they planned.

Got kids,...now there is a project!

[Randy Larsen]

Now make them reverse and stand back up!

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

And a popgun at the end ....excellent ...for big kid fantasies.

[Salamander]

And some unlucky someone has to clean all that up.

No pizza? ;-)

I’ll be here all week

[FoxInSocks]

There’s probably an app for that.

[Telepathic Intruder]

To think it was either this or a manned mission to Mars.

The Kickstarter raised $1 million within 19 minutes of going live,

You'll never encounter a more brutal game than the pen-and-paper monstrosity that is Kingdom Death: Monster. Let's rattle off every one of its negatives:

Nothing really mattress.
