![]() If you want to play a 3 round game, any double can be the starting engine, not the highest. We recommend playing rounds of 3, 6 or 13, depending on how much time and how many players you have. The number of rounds you play is dependent on the number of players you have. Use the table below to see how many tiles should be shared out at the beginning of the game in relation to the domino set used.Īfter the dominoes have been distributed to players, any leftover dominoes are placed face down in the ‘boneyard’ to be used during the game (taken from the alternative name for a domino tile ‘bone’).Īllocate a score keeper, who can keep a tally over multiple rounds to determine an overall winner. If playing with four or less people, a Double 9 set is recommended. Mexican Train Dominoes can be played with any set of dominoes, but a Double 12 is most popular, which allows room for up to eight players. Note: Double blank dominoes are either 50 points or 0 points, depending on the agreed upon rules. Each player adds up all the pips on their dominoes for their score which is noted. The round is finished when a player has laid down all their dominoes or there are no moves left for any player (including picking up from the boneyard).If a player’s train is open and public and they cover it, it will return back to a private train for that player only.This is marked by placing a coin at the end of the train. Their train becomes public and can be played to by any other player. They can play that domino immediately if a move is available or pass on to the next player. If a player cannot make a move they must draw a domino from the boneyard.This means you can leave multiple doubles for players to cover! Doubles can be played in succession on any available train. An open double domino automatically makes that train public and any player can play to it. If there is an open double domino at the start of a player’s turn they must either cover it or take another domino from the boneyard.When a player lays down a double they must make one more move, either connecting the double or playing a domino to another train.Players take turns laying down single connecting dominoes to any public train or their own train.It is a public train and can be added to by any player. The Mexican Train is started with a double domino. ![]() Each player is dealt dominoes according to the number of players and the domino set used.
