This Mexican Train Dominoes game will run on any iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. One human player plays against 3 computer opponents of varying skill levels. The "best" train can be calculated by the game so you can improve your play. Many rule variations and options are available. Change the names of computer players. Change the speed of the game. Show numbers on the dominoes instead of pips. Just touch the "Menu" button and then "Help" to learn about all the options. Very addicting! No Ads! No popups! No in-app purchases. Just the game.

Won’t stay in ‘slow’ game mode

I love this game and haven’t minded most of the minor bugs the app has dealt with, but since the newest update, the game speed gets faster and faster as I play. I like to play in the ‘slow’ mode, but can only play for a few minutes before it kicks it up to medium or fast. I have to reset the game in order to get it to go back to slow for a few minutes again. I’ve tried deleting and re-downloading it with no luck. I’ll continue to play because I love it, but I would greatly appreciate a fix to this annoying change.

I wanted to love this app - the dev is going out of his way to protect privacy and make a fun game. But, three times now I have had to delete and reinstall the app due to a bug that (first) prevents any input/interaction, and (second) crashes the game immediately on restart if you try to exit and come back to keep playing. Best description of this bug is: game assumes the full real estate of the screen is usable play area. But, iPhone uses the top center band and bottom center band as areas to control the OS (top: see notifications; bottom: change active app). When selecting a tile in the top band, the tile drops and seems to get “stuck”… it falls onto the board abutting or obscuring other tiles, and the game logic comes to a screeching halt (and then freezes, etc; see above). While I don’t expect a game dev to make bug fixes his full time job, I do expect a paid app with critical failures to be resolved. Five stars for intent, but one star for a fabulously failed execution.

The game itself is very fun. The missing star: the app crashes and you have to do a hard reset to start playing again. Also, when the game starts, a player goes through 7 or 8 tiles with a starting count of 5? You haven’t made one play yet! So, hit the restart hand button— or you’ll be behind by 80 points.

I play this game on my iPhone 12 and various iPads. Works very well for me. An occasional crash but is comes back up fine. My only suggestion is to place the Mexican train in the same spot on the iPhone as it is on the iPad version. Right now the iPhone has the Mexican train at the top but the iPad version has it near the player’s train (which is easier to follow). I would love to play this with others remotely using turn-based or at least live play.

1. Sound effects volume is now variable from 0% to 100%. 2. Game will no longer shut off music from other apps. 3. Improved fit for all screen sizes. 4. Bug fixes
