How to Play Mexican Train (Domino Game)

[@youareanidiot7138]

Ohhhh, never knew it was mexican train we were playing. Being mexican, i thought this was just normal dominos

[@LogicalChronicalPhenomenal]

Yeah it's similar to normal dominos where you match the dots. The rules for normal dominos is you try to get to 250 first and then you win instead of trying to get the least amount of points after 13 rounds. You also can't make a new line of dominos from a double 12, like you can in Mexican train. Some of the dominos sets had Mexican train versions where the middle thing where you would place the dominoes would have a button you could push and it would do a train noise.

I now eat spicy stuff thank you

[@syphon0928]

Noticed an error where the player threw a double 2 to play off the existing double 2 that was down.

[@ArsLonga1967]

I noticed that too

[@RamirezVB]

@@ArsLonga1967 this means you cannot play a double off another double?

[@yaboiportch]

Yeah, in a real game of Mexican Train, it's considered bad form to cheat in such an obvious way

[@jonboner2987]

@@RamirezVB it shouldnt be possible for more than one double of the same amount of pips, to exist. This was a glitch in their video graphics, that's all

[@RamirezVB]

What happens to the dominoes we initially flipped to find the 12s? Do we keep those or flip them back over and reshuffle?

[@paullindsay1622]

According to this video, they get put back into the boneyard and should be reshuffled for fairness.

Thank U

2:46 2 doubles?

[@LogicalChronicalPhenomenal]

Yeah I think it was a mistake.

[@raeshipman5438]

We played where if you played on someone else’s train, they added those pips to their score. Scores got as high as 150 per round, but was a LOT of fun! Also played as partners a couple times in four person games.

[@thecomplexion7524]

13 rounds omg

[@2tallB]

He said because you start the first set with double 12’s, then double 11’s, the. 10’s etc. all the way to double blank tiles. We just stop when we agree to stop. :)

[@mewtwo150clone]

Question, are we post to use additional markers or are the trains the markers?

[@AD-ru5mb]

The trains r the markers

[@Jamesadamiak]

Thank you! Other videos are TLDR

[@zekeclark2594]

13 games is insane 😂

[@ZestedVim]

Not really. Get a few good friends and 13 rounds fly by. It's a great game that facilitates hanging out and socializing. Also the rule of playing as many dominoes as you can on the first turn speeds up game play. Some rounds can be just a few short moves.

[@billymsu77]

This was very helpful! Thank you,

[@ChasingVertical]

Question... on your first turn when you can play as many dominoes as possible... if you end with a double, what happens to the person who plays next? Do they have to close it? If they do have to close it, do they still get their first turn (and get to play as many dominoes as possible)?

[@porkchop955]

The way we play is if the player plays a double as the last domino in their hand, the game ends. It's the only time a double is not covered or satisfied.

[@yfbgca9492]

@@porkchop955 I think he meant on the first turn. If a player ends their first turn with a double, do other players need to close it before they set up their train?

[@porkchop955]

@@yfbgca9492 I think he is referring to a version called speed round where everyone places there dominoes that are linked together on the train at the same time. This happens before play begins to rotate around the table. Once everyone has placed all there linked dominoes, if one is an unsatisfied double, then that double must be covered. A double must be satisfied or covered as some say prior to the any other plays. I hope this helps.

[@JDL_2020]

We allow everyone to put their first train down, then the double needs to be justified, but remember to draw a tile first by the player who played the double tile..

[@MerkhVision]

I think you don’t have to worry about doubles during the first round of turns. You might only have to satisfy doubles starting from the second turn and after

[@mewtwo150clone]

Question, how is the Mexican Train started? Im missing it. And you said anyone can play off it?

[@raymondbillups2002]

With the double 12 is played. It’s the engine to get it started

[@catherinemarkopoulos4124]

This was the best video instructions I've seen great job!

[@xOGxSE7ENx]

Very helpful, thank you!

[@Сон-л2э]

Очень интересно, но ни хрена не понятно😂

[@ThreePhaseHigh]

There apparently is no video showing you how to play basic dominoes like you would play with two players. Every video you look at is different how I can find out how to play dominoes with two players if you’ve never played it before and play it right I can’t find one apparently there’s 15 different versions of the game or something.

[@TheMatthewDart]

if u buy a new 28 set of double six dominoes it'll come with instructions for basic dominoes gameplay, if u message me and I see it I can send u the instructions in my set

[@Texavis]

Can the be more than 1 Mexican Train?

[@westfriedman3522]

How many tiles are used in Mexican Train?

[@jaj0477]

91

[@tymothylim6550]

Thank you very much for this video! It was very helpful :)

[@xiayang3727]

Did you mean 11 for 7-8 players

So almost like uno

[@tomphilpott3659]

This was a very confusing and incomplete explanation compared to some others out there.

[@amorton94]

So how do turns work? Wtf.

[@ruhaansingh6956]

how is there so less comments on a 92.6k sub channel

[@Jamessblond87]

Theres different ways to play the game, this video isn't the way I'm use to playing the game.

[@f9mike]

why does it have to be called a Mexican train, why not just a train?

[@milk7210]

Why are you asking? Are you offended?

[@f9mike]

@@milk7210 NO, I am not offended, I just don't understand why it's called the Mexican train, why isn't it called the "domino train"

[@Cool233-z7g]

@@f9mike maybe because was invented from Mexico or a Mexican haha.

[@LostNFound432]

Why does a nationality have to be offensive? Are American eagle, irish cream and french fries also a problem?

[@sherececocco]

Someone said in Mexico they call it Cuban Train.
