How to play Mexican Train online free

Mexican Train uses a double-twelve set for 2–8 players. Each round starts from a center engine — rounds count down from the double-12 — and every player builds their own train while the shared "Mexican Train" stays open to all. Doubles must be satisfied, train markers open your train to opponents, and the lowest total score after the final round wins.

Prefer looser table rules? Toggle on Ladner house rules in the lobby: draw or pass whenever you like, playable tile or not. New to the game? Read the complete Mexican Train rules guide.

Party setup in three steps

  1. Open hostbox.games/dominoes on the TV and pick Party mode.
  2. Everyone scans the QR code with their phone.
  3. The host taps Start — tiles are dealt straight to each phone.
