### 3/5 — Traditional Train

*2025-04-01*

I like the rules options on this game, but it will not let you win a round. All the computer players will lay down 6 or 7 at the beginning, and you might not get any.   When there is a chance you might win a round, the computer makes sure you have to draw.  I also noticed that when you play on a train, it opens your train, which I don’t believe is correct.  I should be able to play on any open train.

### 5/5 — Great FUN+ NO ADS❤️

*2024-12-31*

I’d forgotten how much fun dominoes can be since the kids have grown up. This is a really cool implementation and NO ADS!!!

### 4/5 — Review

*2024-03-13*

I really like the game. I don’t mind all of the rules implementations that others complain about but can we please add a pass and play option or some kind of multiplayer. This would be a perfect game for me to play with someone else locally.

### 5/5 — Change players

*2023-09-30*

Can you change players, it seems like you play with the same people all the time.

**Developer response:** The names are fixed for each difficulty level. So for example, the "hard" setting has one set of name (implying smart AI), whereas the "easy" setting will have names indicating less talented players. There is no real special meaning to the computer player names.

### 2/5 — Game froze

*2022-10-19*

I have been playing this game for just a few days and have enjoyed it more than any other mexican train game I’ve played.  BUT, it just froze a minute ago and even deleting the game from my iPad does nothing.  I tried to contact the developer through their website but received a message saying it was not possible to do this.  WHAT NOW?

### 2/5 — Cant win

*2022-08-11*

The ai makes it so hard to win that you normally get over 500 points in each game. I play real domino’s mexican train and have never had so many bad hands given to me. I cant play this game anymore.

### 4/5 — Game ends?

*2022-07-22*

Game ends when my opponent isn’t able to play anymore, but I still have dominoes that can play on his. This is on the one opponent option. 

I would also prefer that my train not open when I’m able to play on open trains. I’ve never played that way in other apps or when playing with friends on game night. 

I love that there are options to play with fewer people as well as the option to draw until someone finds the current double to start the game. I’d like to try that with friends. 

Overall, this is a fun game. I haven’t played my other Mexican train app since I found this one. Mexican train is the only game I have on my device.

### 3/5 — Rigged

*2022-02-17*

I have been playing this for quite some time, and it seems about 85% of the time a receive at least 5 doubles in the draw.  This seems a little more than just a random luck of the draw.  My game still does double score on doubles, but shows this was one of the fixes.  How do I get an update.

### 4/5 — Strange open train rule

*2022-02-17*

Playing on the Mexican train or any other open train should not cause my train to open.

### 4/5 — great implementation but

*2022-01-02*

playing on an open train, when mine is closed, should not open my train up. especially when obliged to play on an open double!
