Mexican Train Dominoes 4+

This is an awesome game! Less boring & more challenging than typical dominoes. Developer could improve it by making a shorter version (maybe 4-5 rounds) for when you didn’t have time for a full 10 rounds. Both would be good. Also, some of the nuances that make the game so challenging (and exciting) could be spelled out more clearly in a brief “guide”. For example, I played several games before realizing that I could tap a domino to reverse its orientation. Or when you play a double and don’t have that number to advance your train, you can play on the community train or another person’s open train

This game is a pleasure to play, if a little boring. It would be nice if there was some kind of progression and challenge. But you play the same game over and over unless you are willing to pay to buy tickets constantly to play more difficult opponents. My biggest complaint is that it appears there is no way to earn tickets. Really? That needs to be changed, otherwise, you have nothing you are working towards.
I gave it four stars due to no ads, but if ads begin and nothing improves, I will probably drop it to a three star.

The worst feature of this game is if the previous player plays a double and cannot play the next, you must rescue the player if you have that number in your train, instead of just leaving it open for everyone to play on. This usually means a train wreck since it is taken out of your train, and therefore breaks it up, and must keep drawing until you can play on your own or the slough train. Lately there seems to be less chance to recover. This is an option under Mexican train rules, but the designers of this game have chosen to make it mandatory. Please make this an option rather than mandatory. It makes me want to play with real dominoes and several dummy players rather than the convenience of playing in your lap on the tablet, or not at all.
