The History of Mexican Train
While dominoes date back to 12th-century China, the "Mexican Train" variation has a fascinating global heritage. It is widely believed to have evolved from Pai Gow, brought to North America by Chinese laborers in the mid-19th century. In Cuba, it took the form of Longana, and eventually, it was adapted by Mexican railway workers who helped build the international rail systems. The version we play today was popularized in the 1990s, becoming a favorite for its unique "Public" and "Private" train mechanics.
Strategic Tips for Beating the AI
To master the Neon Night Edition and defeat your opponents, consider these professional tactics:
- Protect Your Private Line: Always prioritize playing on your own train first. As long as it remains "Locked," opponents cannot use it to discard their high-point tiles.
- Dump High Pips Early: Tiles like the double-12 or the 50-point Double Blank are dangerous to hold. Play them on the Mexican Train (Public) as soon as possible to minimize your score if someone else goes out.
- The "Doubles": In this Neon Nigths Mexican Domino Game, a player who plays a "double" (1:1), (2:2) etc can immediately play again but he doesn't have to "cover the double". Instead, he can play on any playable train lane (private or public). Doubles can both be played aggressive to reduce tile count early or wait for the late-game to surprise the opponents.
- Strategic Power-Ups:
Sabotage: Use this exactly when an opponent has 1 tile left to force a last-second draw.
Freeze: Best used on the player with the current lowest score to halt their momentum.
- Plan Your Train: Before making your first move, look at your hand and find the longest possible sequence. Playing with a long-term plan is the only way to win in Hard Mode.
