The above solve does not work because there are two ones next to each other on the right hand side Dunce

I found that with this one, the tried and tested method of "just bung some numbers in lots of times and see where it breaks down" was quite revealing Smile

after about ten goes I identified the source of my troubles and fixed it.

oh, having some dominoes helped too.

In the style of ebay "VERY GOOD PUZZLE WOULD SOLVE AGAIN A+++++"

I never noticed this on the original card but are the coloured blobs that show up so clearly in the scan of any significance? They don't match the solution.

Guin, really? are you sure you didn't repeat a domino? I was pretty sure the answer was unique, since I think pretty much everything I put down was forced.

I know there's a solve but thought i'd attach the file that helped me

My file isn't that hi-tech but it helped me get the answer.

Just rotate the dominos to fit where you want them.

nope, the 1 and 3 on the bottom right of my solution arent part of the same domino, but its hard to see without putting all the numbers into a domino-divided pic.

its possible (like has happened with other cards, ie Magic Square) that there are more than one solution, but that they are only accepting one particular solution (the one posted above by Lilian)

EDIT: removed because i was being stupid! Embarassed

First, i misread what dominoes echidna was referring to, and then upon realising what he/she was saying, i realised that i had it in my head that 3-1 and 1-3 are different dominoes, but of course they arent! D'oh!!
