The Domino Column

Arrange the $28$ dominoes in a column so that the three sets of pips, taken anywhere,

shall add up alike on the left side and on the right.

Such a column has been started in the diagram.

This is merely an example, so you can start afresh if you like.

Solution

The column has been broken into three for convenience in presentation.

Place the second column under the first, and the third under the second.
