The game has always been particularly popular in Central Texas, and it was known to be introduced on campuses by students from rural areas who brought the game with them in the early years. There are reports of the game being played at Southwestern University in Georgetown as early in 1896. That was just over a decade after Texas A&M opened its doors.
He suspects the game first made its way to Aggieland even earlier than that-and possibly much earlier.Ĥ2 was invented in Garner, Texas, in 1887, according to the generally accepted history of the game. Untold millions of hands of 42 have played out on the battered wooden tables at the Dixie Chicken since it opened in 1974, but Proft has accounts of the game being played at A&M as far back as the 1960s. For example, a set of "Official Lechner Hall 42 Rules" was created in the early 1990s. The game is and has long been popular at the College Station campus and has a rich history in Aggieland. Paul Proft, a 42 expert and the owner of the 42-themed website, has for years been trying to document when the game made its way to Texas A&M. A historian of the game is trying to pin down when the game first made its way to Aggieland, and you may be able to help. The domino game 42 is an integral part of Aggie history and culture, known to anyone who frequented Northgate, even those who were not 42 players themselves.
