In Mexico this game is known as cuban train!

[@sherececocco]

Thank you for your energy.

[@eRwdy]

Así es, en muchas partes de México lo mal nombran y lo confunden con el Dominó Cubano, que se juega de forma estándar. Oficialmente la forma de jugarlo es Tren Mexicano. El domino Cubano usa hasta dobles nueve y se juega de forma estándar igual que el doble seis.

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.

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

[@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

[@ArrogantBaSStard]

@@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]

@@ArrogantBaSStard 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

[@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. :)

[@ArrogantBaSStard]

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.

[@billymsu77]

This was very helpful! Thank you,

[@mewtwo150clone]

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

[@AD-ru5mb]

The trains r the markers

[@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

[@RedSytheMMVI]

2:46 2 doubles?

[@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

[@xOGxSE7ENx]

Very helpful, thank you!

[@The_Jayviator]

Can the be more than 1 Mexican Train?

[@user-fo6yf7nz7x]

Очень интересно, но ни хрена не понятно😂

[@xiayang3727]

Did you mean 11 for 7-8 players

[@westfriedman3522]

How many tiles are used in Mexican Train?

[@jaj0477]

91

[@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

[@amorton94]

So how do turns work? Wtf.

[@tomphilpott3659]

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

[@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"

[@LENymar1000]

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

[@pocasanchez]

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.
