Mexican Train is a Dominoes game that strikes the perfect balance between accessible casual fun and engaging tactical depth. The core concept - matching numbers to build a train track takes less than five minutes to explain and is easy to learn. However, deciding when to play certain tiles or block opponents keeps it endlessly challenging. Because turns are relatively straightforward, there is plenty of room for table talk. Players can chat, laugh and catch up without losing track of the game.  To give the game a bit of an edge we play for a halfpenny a point. Keeps it competitive without breaking the bank.
