Mexican Train

Players shed numbered domino tiles by building personal lines of play—called trains—radiating from a central station tile. Each round starts with the highest double in the center and players extend their own train by matching pips; a communal “Mexican” train is available for anyone to play on. When a player cannot legally play, they draw and, if still blocked, place a marker that allows others to play on their train. Rounds end when one player empties their hand; opponents score the pips remaining on their tiles and the game is decided over multiple rounds by the lowest total score. Usually played with a double‑12 set (or smaller sets for fewer players), and often includes train markers and a station piece to organize play.
