Seems to be rigged
A great game and fun to play, but over the last year it seems to be more and more rigged. In the past it was equally as possible to beat the computer as to be beaten by it, though now it seems impossible to win.
They will beat you
It sounds stupid but it is rigged against you. When forced to pick from bone pile, it always takes me 3-4 dominoes to get what I need. Computer always takes one maybe two. When computer has to draw, amazing, they can always play on theirs or another train! While you rack up 4-5 more. And you always draw the double 12 or 11 just in time for computer to go out.

Good game! A couple of suggestions…
I play this game a lot, and like it. I play it almost exclusively on my iPad. There are 2 things that drive me nuts, though.
First, and most importantly, I wish there was a way to speed things up. I don’t need to take a good, slow look at what the computer players are doing. I need the game to move faster.
Secondly, and less important, I wish the tiles could snap to a grid (maybe an invisible grid?) to keep things a little tidier.
Otherwise, I think it’s probably the best Mexican Train app in the App Store.

Completely frozen
**UPDATE - still no response from developer.
Update:app freezes on my iPhone after I complete a game. Only way to get to a new game is to delete the app and reinstall. No response from developer here and no way to contact developer through game or here on apple. A real shame. Also, it is "rigged" in that the robots never make a mistake so winning is darn near impossible. The app keeps freezing on my iPhone (running current iOS). I bought the "remove ads" option and can't get to a new game. HELP please! I love the game and want to give it five stars but can't play it.

What if ..
Can you be the creator of a Mexican Train game that allows 1 on 1 … or player selection of your choice that includes a chat room, I would play this all night if I can chat with friends during !!
Rigged game
I have been playing this game for a while now, thinking that over time the stats would balance out. I was wrong. This game is so clearly rigged towards the computers and it is incredibly frustrating. I love a good challenge, but this goes beyond “challenge” when the computers are constantly getting the right dominoes and playing unrealistic moves to block trains any chance they can, even if it means breaking their own train up. Unrealistic, annoying, and absolutely pointless. Not sure what the developers are thinking not fixing this game.

Addictive
I do like this game, but is it me - as when lm just about to play my last domino another player plays a double and no one can cover it, which means l then draw and pass until l’ve got a stack of dominoes to play! Has happen quite a lot.
Also, not sure as the game goes so fast but when the other ‘players’ draw and pass l don’t see their hand increase?
Otherwise it’s ok, makes you think.

Same player wins every time
I could be missing something here but I played 25 games and the NPC player Butch Cassidy wins every time usually because they have a lot of doubles. They even win when I can go out without passing. Rather spoils the game when you can’t win!
Avis
Un jeu intéressant mais assez frustrant car c’es toujours Jesse james ou Pancho qui gagnent. J’ai plusieus jeux et j’avoue que c’est le seul qui est déja gagné d’avance. Très déçue.
Still Hate new update
I spent - rather wasted - my time watching videos ads from TRAIN BUILDER in order to get a hint. I get 0 hints. Each time I think it will be better, but it isn’t. Don’t waste your time. Totally inconsistent. Yesterday I used Train Builder watching a video to get a hint. It refilled it to 9. Today I did the same thing and didn’t get a single hint. The developers still have a long way to go to make that a good choice for an app.
