Mexican Train is a popular domino game that has been enjoyed by people worldwide for many years. The game is played using a set of tiles that are marked with different numbers of dots on each end, similar to traditional dominoes. However, Mexican Train uses a specialized set of dominoes that includes a wider range of numbers and symbols.

Players begin by selecting a certain number of tiles from the set, usually 15 or 16, and lining them up in a particular manner called the "train". In Mexican Train, the central "engine" tile always has two "dominoes" protruding, and players must match their tiles to the ends of this engine so that they form new "trains".

Players take turns laying their tiles and trying to play as many of their tiles as possible in each turn. If a player cannot make a move, they must draw a new tile from the set. The winner of Mexican Train is typically the first player to empty their hand of all dominos.

Mexican Train is an engaging and entertaining game that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether played casually with friends or in competition with experienced players, this classic game provides hours of fun and strategy.
