Editorial Review

Mexican Train is a wonderful all-ages game of skill and strategy for two to eight players. Trains of dominoes spread over the table as each player attempts to avoid being railroaded. The object of the game is to be the first player to play all of his dominos or to play a domino on the Mexican train. Add to your own train, start a new one on the central hub, or play on an opponent's "stalled" train. However, it's almost worth losing this game of Mexican Train just to press the electronic train hub and hear it whistle like a real locomotive! Includes nine train games pieces, decent instructions, and 91 pro-size double-twelve color-dot dominoes--all stored in a convenient train-shaped metal tin. --Deb Oroszlan

After my 10-year-old son spent the night at a sleepover his friend's mom told me that he actually passed on video games to spend hours playing a game with her, her husband, and thier teenager. Then she told me this amazing game that could entertain adults, teenagers, and 10 year olds for so long despite the call of video games was Mexican Train Dominoes! This version has colorful locomotive peices and an electronic locomotive that makes sounds, which goes over big with the younger crowd.

5.0 out of 5 stars Battery Problem, August 23, 2006

First, we love this game and I will be giving several for Christmas presents this year.
Yes, there is a battery problem but it is simple to fix. Just take the 3 small, watch size batteries out of the turnstyle and rough up both sides of each battery - you can use a fine emery board to do this. Replace the batteries and it works like a charm. This is so much faster and less frustrating than attempting to return the product.

Same complaints as many others have. Mexican train is a very fun game for all ages but this particular set earned these minor complaints:

1. The tin box is too large. The Dominoes swim around in this huge box. While it's cute they made it the shape of a train, I would rather a box that is easier to store and holds the dominoes securely.

2. The battery operated train whistle went dead after exactly 3 whistles. That is okay since it was very loud, long, and annoying. I've read the batteries are at least $5 to replace so once you add that into the price, the set is no longer any deal.

3. The dominoes themselves seemed a little cheap and I didn't like the colors used. I've seen worse and cheaper dominoes but these were disappointing. I'm going to keep on shopping and sell these on Ebay when I replace them.
