Mexican Train Dominoes

Mexican Train is a domino game, played mainly in the USA. It is probably best for four or more players.

Equipment and Preparation

A double twelve set of dominoes is used. This contains all possible pairs of numbers from 0 (blank) to 12, giving 91 pieces in all. In addition some markers are required. Traditionally, coins were used: one penny for each player and one nickel, but some players nowadays use markers representing locomotives.

The dominoes are shuffled and each player takes a number of dominoes and stands them on edge so that their faces are visible to the owner but not to the other players. Up to 4 players take 15 dominoes each, 5 or 6 take 12 each, 7 or 8 take 10 each, and 9 or 10 players take 8 each. The remaining dominoes are left face down in the bone yard.

In this version of dominoes, everyone contributes to their own train as well as the Mexican Train! Try to get rid of all your dominoes!
