Playing Mexican Train – Dominos Rules
April 20th, 2009 by Julie HellstromMexican Train Dominos are a fun family game we have started playing. Our rules though are somewhat different than the games sheet we got with the game.
So I have decided to share our dominos rules of Mexican Train since it is simpler for our youngsters to learn.
The dominos themselves are different than regular dominos because they go up to double 12’s. One cool thing is that if counting dots is hard for your little ones, you can buy these dominos that have numbers instead of dots. The game go basically like this – each person takes a number of tiles based on how many are playing. Then starting with the double 12 tile (or the closest double someone has in their pile) it is placed in the middle. Every round goes down 1 number. Everyone then must start their leg (think spider here) with the same number that was the double. If you don’t have that number on your tiles, you pick one from the bone pile. If you can play you do, if not the next person plays. You then only play on your leg until 1 of 2 things happen.
1st – You can play on another person’s leg if after they have picked, they cannot. You know it is open to play on because they must place a plastic train – which comes in the set – on their leg when they can’t play. Then when they are able to play on their leg again, they can remove the train. We like to use M&Ms as the train marker, then eat them when you get to remove it!
2nd – Start a Mexican Train. If you have a another tile that matches the double played to start the game, you can start another leg, that is independent of the main body and legs. Then any player can play on the train too. There is only one Mexican Train started per round.
A couple of side notes – playing a doubles tile requires a “proof” meaning you must also play another tile on it in that turn. You don’t have to pick if you can’t play but the next person to play must either play on the double or pick to try to. No one can resume play until the double has been proven. This requirement can thwart your prelaid plans. And don’t get discouraged if you get stuck drawing tiles well into the game to get started. Because you have the potential to play up to 12 rounds (your choice), it seems most people will get the same chance.
The object of each round is to be the first to get rid of all your tiles. All other players add the total dots (or numbers) on the tiles they have left. You use this number for their score. Adding the score for each round, the winner is the person at the end who has the lowest points.
