Mexican Train in a Metal Box

Yes, you didn`t think so, this is a variation of Domino. But how interesting and bright! The advantages of such a game set are the ability to play up to 8 people, a fixed playing field, train figures, and large numbers on the chips, which makes the game more exciting. After all, in order to win, it is necessary to get rid of the maximum values, so that at the end of the game there is as little amount of chips as possible in the balance.

How to play

Everyone receives chips and takes turns laying them out according to the domino principle either in their own row or in a joint row, which is called a consonance game.

The most interesting part begins if the player does not have the opportunity to make a move: then he must take a new chip from the reserve, and if it does not fit either - the player must place a train figure on his row, which now becomes available to opponents, hoping to extend his row next turn to be able to remove the train figure.

Another interesting feature of the game is the ability to effectively use double chips, because they allow you to play an additional chip, but only by continuing this double. Otherwise, the right to an additional move will be given to the next player, and if he cannot, then the next player.

Each of the 13 rounds begins with the fact that the maximum double is placed in the center of the field - 12-12, 11-11, and so on, the final round is played with a double-empty chip. This allows you to get rid of the maximum numerical chips in the first place.

The player with the minimum amount of unused chips becomes the winner.
