Mexican Train

Gather around the table with a handful of domino tiles and one goal: be the first to empty your hands. That is Mexican Train in a nutshell. Everyone builds their own train of tiles, one tile at a time, trying to play them all as fast as possible. The rules are so simple that you can start playing almost right away, and yet it stays exciting until the very last tile. It begins with the highest double tile in the middle of the table. That is the station. From there you add your tiles and your train grows longer and longer. There is also a shared train, the Mexican Train, which everyone may play on. Cannot make a move? Then you place a little train marker on your track and others may use it for a while. So there is always something to do. You play Mexican Train with two to eight players and a game takes about twenty minutes. Perfect for a quick round in between, but you can also fill a whole evening with it by playing several rounds in a row. Whoever has the fewest points left at the end may call themselves the winner.
