Or playing dominos can mean what it means in everyday American English: playing dominos. What's the basis for skipping this interpretation?

Sure. Who hasn't played "domino ON pasta" or "domino ON cheese"... Or used such inane phrase in Everyday American English. Is English your first language. It doesn't sound like it. Or you must really think that you are smarter than anyone here.

Ah yes, much better to make up some fake code and pretend that's what they are speaking about. That's the rational response. Because anyone doesn't talk the exact way you do must be speaking in code.

I speak English well enough that this email is not confusing whatsoever, even if I wouldn't put it that way.

It's a logical fallacy to argue things can't be just because you are suspicious or you can't imagine other options. It's called argument from incredulity or argument from lack of imagination.
