Can you still play and finish dominoes with a missing double 4s tile ?

Hi all,
Via a charity store, I bought for £3 the following boad games : backgammon (never played this before and really looking forward to it over Xmas with the family), cribbage and chess as well as some poker dice and some dominoes tiles.
However I have just realised that with the dominoes that they are missing a 'double 4s tile'. So can someone please advise me whether you can you still play and finish dominoes with a missing double 4s tile ? For info, I haven't played dominoes for years.
I am really pleased with this deal so ain't too worried if I can't complete dominoes with the missing tile but would be grateful for some advice.
Many thanks

Hi,
yes fine, as long as all players know it is missing.
Better a double being missing than a 5/3, 6/1, etc, because then you would have a blocked end.0 -
Go back to the shop and demand a discount!

While you're in there check whether they have any spectacles so that you can see which forum you're posting in :beer:.0

Why not <gasp!> create your own double-4 tile?
This would entirely solve the problem.0 -

Far easier to buy another cheap full set of dominoes.A man walked into a car showroom.
He said to the salesman, “My wife would like to talk to you about the Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
Salesman said, “We haven't got a Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
The man replied, “You have now mate".0 -

A 4:4 tile could go between, say, a 1:4 tile and a 4:2 tile.
Without the 4:4 tile the 4:2 tile could follow the 1:4 tile directly.0 -
It would be very difficult to make one that looked identical to the rest so it would stick out like a sore thumb.
