Dominoes Quatern

I learned to win at Dominoes
To topple each one of my foes
It does not matter their standing
For on the floor they’ll be landing

Once I figured who to depose
I learned to win at Dominoes
Of whom each boss I’d tip over
To enact a full takeover

I used to try to gain by fraud
But quickly saw that that was flawed
I learned to win at Dominoes
Where one by one, down each one goes

The game is filled with exertion
Along with the chance assertion
Yet there are none left to appose
I learned to win at Dominoes

David, this one kind of grew on me. When I reread it, I liked it better the second time! It's a very interesting theme. Congrats in my contest.
