Mexican Train is played with double-12 dominoes. Players build connected “trains” (chains of dominoes) starting from a central hub. The goal is to empty your hand and end each round with the lowest possible score. After multiple rounds, the player with the lowest total score wins—making it a fun mix of skill, strategy, and chance.
