SET UP Eachplayerchoosesa coloredminitrainenginetoserveashismarkerpiece duringgameplay. Theblackminitrainenginemarkerissetasidetoserveasa marker for the Mexican Train. Shuffle dominoes face down, this is known as the“trainyard.” Thenumberof“boxcars” (dominoes)dealttoeachplayer,is determined by the number ofplayers. N o. of Players N o. of Box Cars 2 to 4 15 5 to 6 11 7 to 8 8 After the box cars have been dealt, players organize their box cars face up. The player with the highest double begins the game. The highest double serves as the “engine” for the game and is placed in the center of the train station hub. PLAY The player who has the highest double begins the game by placing the double in the center of the hub (as the 'engine') and starting their own personaltrain(ifthey are able). Eachplayermustbeginbuildinghispersonal trainbyplayinga boxcarwithanendthatmatchestheengine. (example: with 12-12 as the engine: 12-5, 5-7, 7-8, 8-11, 11-1, 1-9, and so on). Players build theirpersonaltrainoutfroma “track” onthetrainstationhubnearesttothem. Ifa playerhasnoboxcarstostarthispersonaltrain, hemaydrawinturnfrom the train yard until he can begin play. Each player plays one tile per turn, the only exception of this rule is when a double is played (see ‘doubles’). If a playerhasa tilethatisplayable, heMUSTplaythattile. Last Tile Whenanyplayerisleftwithonlyoneboxcar(onetile), hemustgivenoticeto the other players by tapping his final tile on the table or with his marker. If another player catches the player failing to do player must draw another two box cars from the train yard. This allows other players an opportunity to lower their ending score by ridding themselves of high numbered tiles on their nextturn. WINNING THE GAME The game is over when one player has dominoed (played his last tile) or when the game is blocked because no player has a playable tile and the train yard is gone. If a player has no remaining tiles, he is the winner. If there is no playerthathasdominoed, thenallplayersmusttotalthenumberofpips(dots) on their remaining tiles. Each blank scores 25 points and the double blank dominoscores50 points. Theplayerwiththelowestscorewins. Box Cars Ifa playercannotplayanyofhisboxcars,hemustdrawboxcarsfromthe trainyardtoplay.

The winner of the game then gets the honor of depressing the center starter engine tile , to hear the “Woo Woo” win! ALTERNATE PLAY Other Players Trains If a player can no longer play on his personal train, he takes his mini train engine from the train station hub and places it on the last box car in his personal train. This means thatother players may now play their dominoes on thisplayer‘strain. Whentheplayerisabletoplay onhispersonaltrainagain, he returns the mini engine to the trainstationhub signaling thatother players may no longer play onhis personal train. Mexican Train If a player has another tile whose end matches the engine, he may begin the Mexican Train, on which all players may play (this is usually located on an open track of the train hub or another area convenient to all players). Place the black mini-train engine marker on the end tile of the Mexican Train, to remindplayersthattheymayplayonitatalltimes. Itisalwayswisetostartthe Mexican Train as soon as possible because it gives more play options. There isonlyoneMexicanTrainina game. Doubles If a player places a double, it is turned sideways (perpendicular to the domino it was played on) and he must then play a second domino to complete the double. (ex. If a 9-9 is placed, then a 9-4 would “complete the double”)Iftheplayercannotcompletethedoublehejustplaced, thenhemust drawbox carfromthetrainyard. Ifthisbox carisunable tobe played, the player places his mini train engine marker on his personal train and says “pass.” The job of completing the double is then transferred to the next player to the left. After a double is played, all regular play is suspended until someone can complete the double. If players cannot complete the double, they must draw once. If they are still unable to play a box car on the double, they pass and must place their mini train engine marker on their personal train, even if they had a matching tile to play ontheir trainbefore the double was played. Whenthedoubleisfinallycompleted, regularplayresumeswiththeplayerto the leftofthe player who completed the double. Playing in rounds Before box cars are shuffled, the double twelve domino is set aside. It becomes the engine in the train station hub. G ame play is the same. W hen the game is over all players record their score (the total of the pips on their remaining tiles). This is Round O ne. Round Two begins with the double eleven as the engine and so on, for a total of thirteen rounds. The last round will use the double blank domino. W hen all the rounds are completed, scores are tall...
