It looks like fun. After seeing all your posts about it I bought the game but have not played yet because of all the moving.

Yes, we have game night once a month, and Mexican Train is one of the most popular ones chosen. It's good because, you have up to 2 to 8 players.

And, it's fun because you can converse and still play at the same time! Easy game.

We play at 6:00 p.m. Usually have some hors d'oeuvres and wine and something sweet. I have M.T. at a friends on Monday night and then a different group at my house next Thursday night. Been sitting here planning the eats. I'm having some neighbors in the Sat. after M.T. so am planning on snacks and mini desserts that will do double duty.

I go to a game night most Fridays and we play a variety of games depending on how many people are there. We play mexican train, sequence, left right center etc. Lots of fun.

I've never played. I would if someone started a MT lunch tho.

We have a ladies crafts & quilt club that's grown to about 18 ladies. We meet once a month at someones home and serve a light breakfast, then go around the table showing what we've been working on that month.

I play Mexican trains every day. I work for a railroad with half of the operations in Mexico :-p

I learn something new everyday on Houzz;) I never heard of this game until now.

LOL, Lars. Not quite. It's a domino game played with colored dominoes. Our tiles are not like yours, Glenda. Ours have dots better know as pips on the tiles. At the end of each round we count the # of dots (in your case, you would add the 12 and 1, 11 and 2, etc.) on each tile we have remaining and pay the person who went out a penny for each dot. At the end of the evening you only lose a a dollar or two or win a dollar or two. On a really big night you might win$7.00 or $8.00 but it's more than likely a few dollars. Makes it more interesting.

This is just a picture, not the set I use. We have the dots as well. Start at 12 and end up with the blank domino to end the game. We each toss in a dollar per game each week.

I play and have the regular colored dominos too. It's lots of fun.

I think I did hear of this possibly several years ago on a forum (could even have been this one). I have never heard of it otherwise and wonder if it might be a regional thing? I don't play any games but I know around here, mah jong is very big, with canasta and bunko also pretty common.

I am going to try to learn mah jong as the libraries give classes and there are tons of games around.

I am in Penn and previously NYC and NJ and never heard of Mexican Train around here.
