Mexican Train~ A New Way To Play Dominoes

Mexican Train. That is what they call it. I heard about this game of dominoes just the other day for the first time. Bestafar, aka Pete, played that game endlessly and up until the last few days before he passed. It was his favorite board type game to play with anyone and everyone who would face his challenge.


After dinner at Hank's the kids, Lynn and Linda brought out the game. I never knew what they called Mexican Train. I had played Chicken Foot, as Tara's months ago for the first time around Thanksgiving last year. The rules are a little different. Each person gets a small, different colored, rubber-like replica of a train to identify their place on the board.


It was fun and think I could actually get the hang of it. I will look for one of those games. Not to be left out, I will get one and teach it to Aaron and the kids. He said he didn't know how to play Dominoes. How neglectful can that be?

The future is bright to teach him and have him become a champion at it. I like the idea of getting the kids interested in playing the "Mexican Train," game.
