Games
Has anybody heard of/played Mexican Train? It started around here last fall and it's crazy how many people have really gotten "on the train". We played Thanksgiving weekend and got a game for son and his family, we played all Christmas weekend. Quite lively!

They play it here and all seem to love it. My sister did too, but I haven't tried it.

Re: Games
Yes, it uses dominoes, the rounds go fast and very easy to learn. You get x amount of dominoes to start and the first one to use them all by making a "train"of ones that match wins the round. Easy for kids to learn (the 6 year old did) but strategy for grown-ups too.

Re: Games
Just looked it up and you need the dominoes that have double 12's right? It also has 96 dominoes?

Doubles on 1-12 I've never played regular dominoes but I'm thinking these are different.
Oh, and up to 8 can play.

Re: Games
Can you play with just 2 people? I suppose it is more fun with more people.

Re: Games
I think here they want at least 4.
Anything like that is hard on my hands, they cramp.
They also play Hand & Foot here and seem to enjoy it.

Well - with just the 2 of us it may not work.

We talked about that and figured it was possible but not as much fun. I would do 3 and up.
