Mexican Train Dominoes

This is a great version of the game to play, results need to be more obvious and rewarding.

I have played Mexican Train during family game nights for more than60 years. I played this game on this app many times, and it became clear that there were fairly predictable patterns of the domino plays. I always win the first round and most rounds, with a couple of rounds where some player has to draw a large number of dominoes. Another common pattern is among the last few rounds, I am often down to play my last domino when the player before me plays a double but cannot cover it. If these different scenarios didn’t frequently happen at the same round, I doubt it would feel so formulaic. Another peeve is that at the end of each round, you are told your scores are not great because you are playing with inferior players. To upgrade the competition, you need to buy (literally) points. That is not motivating me to play the game or to pay for anything from the developers. However, if there was a way to buy the app and ensure an upgrade could be won by good playing, i might be willing to pay a one time fee for that bonus. One last peeve… I just played a hand where I had a domino that would play but the app forced me to draw another domino then ended the game. I would have won if this had not malfunctioned. Quite annoying.

I wish the scores were clearer each game. Symbols off putting

Rete

Very good game

Good game ,but too long 5 games in a set would be fine

Love this game

Seems odd that whomever plays a double and can’t cover it still gets to play initially on the train. If a subsequent player cannot cover the double their train is then opened up for everyone else. If you are able to cover the double, you should also get to play on your own train in the same turn.

Sometimes the game just plays itself and skips right over me until it wins.

I recently found this version of Mexican Train and I’m enjoying it. Would have given 5 stars except for following — If you click the button to ask the game to build the best train for you with your dominos, it costs one ticket. I guess I was given a few to start with. But now I have used those opportunities and there doesn’t seem to be any way in the game to earn tickets. The only way I can now get tickets is to pay cash. So now I’m building my own trains. Aren’t the apps supposed to tell you up front that there are “in app purchases”? I was hoping that if I won a game, the reward would be a few tickets, but that didn’t happen either. PS to Developers - The video and the text support do not describe this computerized game and are not helpful.
