Peg Scoreboard Assembly

Abstract

A peg scoreboard assembly includes a pegboard that has a series of wells each extending into the pegboard. The series of wells are strategically arranged into a plurality of groups on the pegboard to represent points that can be achieved in the game of dominos. Additionally, a storage compartment is integrated into the pegboard. A plurality of pegs is removably stored in the storage compartment and each of the plurality pegs can be assigned to a respective player of the game of dominos. Each of the plurality of pegs is insertable into a respective one of the series of wells during game play and is moved along a number of the series of wells which corresponds to a score achieved by a respective player during each of the respective player's round of dominos to facilitate each player to track their score during the game of dominos.
