Mexican Train Dominoes

Mexican Train is a modern version of dominoes played with 91 double-twelve dominoes. Up to 8 players may play. The little trains are used as game markers. Has an electronic train keychain with sound and light.

Each time a player places a domino on the table in Mexican Train, it must conforms to normal domino play. i.e. The domino must be placed so that one end is touching the end of a domino already on the table and such that the end of the new domino matches (shows the same number of dots) the end of domino it is adjacent to. Unless the tile is a double, the tile can be placed square in any one of the three directions as long as the two matching sides are touching fully.



A domino with the same number at either end is called a 'Double'. A Double too, can only be placed adjacent to a matching end of a domino already on the table. However, doubles are always placed perpendicularly across the end of the domino that is already on the table to make a 'T'. A tile played to a double must also be placed accordingly - perpendicular to the double touching at its middle. So unlike the other dominoes, a double can never turn a corner.



The shape of the domino chain develops snake-line at random according to the whims of the players and the limitations of the playing surface.
