Game ends?

Game ends when my opponent isn’t able to play anymore, but I still have dominoes that can play on his. This is on the one opponent option.

I would also prefer that my train not open when I’m able to play on open trains. I’ve never played that way in other apps or when playing with friends on game night.

I love that there are options to play with fewer people as well as the option to draw until someone finds the current double to start the game. I’d like to try that with friends.

Overall, this is a fun game. I haven’t played my other Mexican train app since I found this one. Mexican train is the only game I have on my device.

Good, but can be better

One of the better implementations out there but needs work:
1. If I have a closed train, playing on any open train DOES NOT open my train, ever. Kind of defeats the purpose of open and Mexican train.
2. Counting a double tile for scoring doubled is just wrong. I have never seen this scoring rule. Might have missed it, but hope not.
3. The option to start with only single tile play would be nice, but not at the expense of losing the current game play option.
4. Minor issue: pip colors-would like to see them mirror many of the actual tiles I have played with, 5 is blue etc.

Weird rules

I really appreciate a game that includes pips above 9, but some of the rules/play don't match what I expect in Mexican train.
1) I wish there was a way to turn off play everything at the beginning and force it all to be one by one
2) I wish the build function could remain during the game to better keep track of orders
3) my own train becomes open simply because I've played somewhere else? Even when you haven't had to draw? My understanding was it only happened when you drew and couldn't play anything.

Thank you for you comments. When I started this project I discovered there were many rule variations; I tried to pick the most used options in my app. In particular your comments 1 and 3 were rule options I only discovered late in the project (I found these by word of mouth; these two variations aren't written in most rule descriptions I've found). I'll look at including these additional options in the future as I find time. Thanks again.
