### 4/5 — Good game

*2026-08-05, version 1.9.1*

This is a good game and has no ads. Just wish there were more variations to play.

### 4/5 — Final results

*2026-06-08, version 1.9.1*

Final results are confusing. Just give winner and total wins. Thanks

### 4/5 — I still love this game

*2026-05-30, version 1.9.1*

I love this game, but for the last handful of  matches, ok this getting worse!! At the end of matches I can’t swipe to close when I’m finished.

### 4/5 — I love this game

*2026-05-12, version 1.9.1*

I love this game, but for the last handful of matches I can’t swipe to close when I’m finished.

### 4/5 — Game is great!

*2026-04-07, version 1.9.1*

Wish they had a tally of how many games played and won …

### 3/5 — Rules

*2026-03-26, version 1.9.1*

I learned if you have double tiles when starting you keep going until all doubles are covered.  
Also if you can’t cover your double tile and someone else does you stay open until your next turn. This game closes your train after next person covers your double. That’s incorrect. 
Food for thought

### 2/5 — Wild ride Mexican Train

*2026-03-16, version 1.9.1*

The game is fun but every once in awhile it is as if someone takes over my train and just plays in my place.  I don’t stand a chance until the game ends.  It does not occur when there are doubles but always ends with me having a double and I always lose.  This is annoying and enough to make me quit playing this version.  Anyone else with this problem?

### 4/5 — Great Game

*2026-01-12, version 1.9.1*

This is a great version of the game. I downloaded multiple versions and played through them to see what I like and dislike and I keep coming back to this version. I only with there was a setting for rules. Sometime when a computer player leaves a double open, it forces me to draw until I can cover the double but it seems like the computer isn’t forced to play in the double and ends the round.

### 4/5 — Too easy

*2026-01-09, version 1.9.1*

Make it harder, only gives you 20 "tickets" to play harder opponents then makes you pay.. just make the bots harder to beat

### 3/5 — Some setting options are needed

*2025-12-29, version 1.9.1*

The game play is good - but there are a few things that would be great if they were adjustable. For example - letting you put out all your available matches on the first turn, making the hands more realistic (I never get hands that good in real life), following the rules that if someone can’t play, their train becomes public, etc.

### 4/5 — Great Brain Training and Fun

*2025-12-25, version 1.9.1*

I love this game. I haven’t found many Mexican train domino games out there. So if you like to play this game is a great way to practice. The only question I have is how do I see how many tickets I have?

### 4/5 — suggestion

*2025-12-14, version 1.9.1*

Make it to where you have levels and when you win you get tickets!

### 4/5 — Score

*2025-12-10, version 1.9.1*

End result card could be a lot clearer

### 3/5 — A couple of things….

*2025-11-06, version 1.9.1*

I was really enjoying this game but today when I wanted to start a new game I was blocked: now I have to buy tickets to play? Sigh… It was fun while it lasted. 
Do you have a link to play this game free and without ads?

### 4/5 — Rules differ

*2025-10-31, version 1.9.1*

Good game but the rules differ somewhat from the game that I play regularly. If you do not go on your own line then the train line should generally be open

### 4/5 — Steep Penalty

*2025-10-29, version 1.9.1*

One of my favorite games although penalty can seem too steep for not upgrading players

### 4/5 — Review

*2025-10-27, version 1.9.1*

Name the players, shrink the dominoes a bit

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No way to accumulate coins only if you purchase them.

*2026-07-07, version 1.9.1*

The game is ok there is no way to accumulate coins without purchasing them.  So I’ll find a better versi9n.  Thanks

### 1/5 — Up to 18 pips?

*2026-06-18, version 1.9.1*

Lol in the game there are 91 dominoes in the original game but why did you put like 52 dominoes in this game?

### 1/5 — Where are the rules?

*2026-03-27, version 1.9.1*

It wouldn’t let me play my dominoes on my train and I had three lined up to win it. Made me draw dominoes and let others ruin my track. With no rules to explain why it did that, or there is a mess up in the game.

### 1/5 — Failure to Comply

*2025-08-25, version 1.9.1*

Single player 


Board allows player 4 to be bypassed on ending game any when a double has been covered .

### 1/5 — Bait & Switch

*2025-07-25, version 1.9.1*

I did not download this FREE app with the understanding that   A charge ensued if players rating (ability) improved.

### 1/5 — should have option for single player

*2025-05-12, version 1.9.1*

this game doesn’t give points for a single player solitaire game

### 1/5 — Fun for a short time

*2025-03-05, version 1.9.1*

Once you play for a certain amount of time they penalize you for not spending money  to buy credits and you stop being able to make progress or earn any credits.

### 1/5 — Mexican train

*2025-01-05, version 1.9.1*

Allow tickets to be won as well as purchased

### 1/5 — scores

*2024-09-22, version 1.9.1*

there’s no explanation nor breakdown of what the scores mean . how do you win this game if every time you finish 1st the score says 1500? better game instructions please

### 1/5 — Changed rules

*2024-05-29, version 1.9*

When there is an open double the player is forced to pull a tile to complete and open  another player’s train. That is not a rule in this game.  One player is not forced to open every other players trains. This is needs to be corrected.

### 5/5 — Train

*2026-07-24, version 1.9.1*

If I can use all my dominoes on initial beginning why can’t I lay them all down and get additional points

### 5/5 — Dad

*2026-03-04, version 1.9.1*

I don’t understand the rating system.

### 5/5 — Skips me 2-3 times occasionally and unable to play dominos and lose round

*2026-02-27, version 1.9.1*

Love app except this one glitch

### 5/5 — Fun Mexican train game

It’s just so fun and easy and organized.

### 5/5 — Score

*2026-01-04, version 1.9.1*

End result card could be a lot clearer. How about a personal score table showing percentage win rate etc.

### 5/5 — Good value game

*2025-12-31, version 1.9.1*

Game works well with no ads. Including a way to earn more tickets through gameplay would be a nice bonus.

### 5/5 — Fun Mexican train game

*2025-12-28, version 1.9.1*

It’s just so fun and easy and organized.

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2025-11-22, version 1.9.1*

I LOVE THIS GAME! Straight forward, no obnoxious ads.

### 5/5 — Why bother…

*2025-11-16, version 1.9.1*

The “ why bother” is to Bubble Pop AND the reviewer…why bother writing a review if Bubble Pop doesn’t care enough to respond to it and why bother,Bubble Pop, to offer a chance for a reviewer to try to make the game better if you don’t care about their opinion anyway and why do I bother to suggest that these reviews, that I sometimes agree with, are a waste of space….who ever invented the Mexican Train is a great game maker, but it’s too bad that Bubble Pop itself is not a good promotor of the game…just sayin’.
