Your computer opponents do not have to draw if they can’t cover a double but you do! So you will always be collecting more tiles and they won’t. ### 4/5 — VERY HARD TO WIN. BLOCKING GUARANTEED *2026-06-16, version 6.6* Win approximately 1 out of 20 games. Guarantee you will get stuck blocking a number and have to draw several tiles to proceed. Can win several rounds and then have to draw 150 or more points in order to lose. Consistant across all games. Fun to try to build train. ### 2/5 — Frustrating *2026-06-11, version 6.6* Your rules are different than what I learned when I first played . Those rules May be incorrect, but certainly makes it difficult for me to play. To begin, all players had to start their train, or they had to draw. Until they could open, not a double but whatever number was up, they had to draw to start their train. They could not play on any other train until they started. If you played doubles, you Had to follow and no one else could play until that double has been covered. Good strategy, you cannot pretend to not have a double. This is kind of hard to explain, but it is similar but not the same. Jesse James seems to Win more than anyone else. I was lucky to win twice a round. Yet, I kept playing thinking I will do better. I didn’t. Sorry not a fan if it seems the tables favor the original players. ### 4/5 — DISPLAY DESIGN ISSUES *2026-04-17, version 6.6* I’ve been playing this app for several years now and love it. However, I recently replaced my old IPhone 8 Plus with a new iPhone 17 Air and discovered I can no longer play your game on it. First of all, your display is larger on this new phone and only allows BARELY two rows at the bottom for your dominoes. This is not only very frustrating to try to move your dominoes into position to start playing, but does not allow room for additional dominoes, especially when you have to draw a lot. Secondly, when I try to move any dominoes in the lower area, it causes your screen to be moved up and away, because that is what that phone is designed to do. So now I can’t even play it at all!!! Fortunately, I still have my old phone to access and play the game as the display design has remained the same as before. But it’s a pain to have to keep two phones charged and on you and then have to bounce back and forth between them in order to play one game you love that happens to be one of your most favorite to play. Please do something to fix these two issues or explain to me how I can from my end without having to pay for a premium level to do so. Thank you for taking care of this issue. I’m assuming with all the new iPhone 17’s now out there, I’m not the only one experiencing this. This is the only reason I couldn’t give the 5th star on my review. ### 4/5 — Love this game *2026-03-27, version 6.6* This is a great version of Mexican train dominoes BUT one thing - there needs to be a mode where you can prevent your domino from getting stuck at the bottom, unable to be moved bc of the window close bar. Mine is currently stuck down there and I don’t know if I can ever play again now :/ ### 2/5 — Needs more work *2026-03-22, version 6.6* Game play is pretty good but it won’t let you win unless you pay money for “vouchers” which is basically just paying money to cheat ### 3/5 — Frustrating ads *2026-03-08, version 6.6* I like this game except that when I try to earn vouchers for adding features, it gets stuck on the ads and won’t let me go back to the game. If I force shut the game & reopen the vouchers are not there. ### 2/5 — You’ll never win *2026-01-31, version 6.6* The app is very basic, slightly hard to navigate but moves quickly. You’ll never win a game. As soon as you’re doing good, you’ll end up drawing 5+ dominos all with high points and end up in last. I’ve played this a long time and that’s the pattern. Good luck. ### 2/5 — Layout *2026-01-28, version 6.6* When I am playing on my iPad. I cannot see the top train. The train is hidden by the ad banner across the top. Can the trains be adjusted down? ### 4/5 — Gods but doubles rule inconsistent *2026-01-11, version 6.6* I like this version because it only allows you to play one tile (except when it’s a double) and this is closer to the original (“Cardinal”) rules. However, there is a glitch in the doubles algorithm: the rule is that a double must be satisfied before play can continue. Period. Sometimes the game enforces the rule, other times doubles are left open for a couple of turns. I’m not aware of any variation that allows this. If there were a more predictable situation where this happens I’d accept it as a “house rule”. ### 2/5 — You will never win *2026-01-05, version 6.6* Impossible to win a game ### 2/5 — Couldn’t get past the first ad *2025-12-30, version 6.6* I get that you rely on ads for support, but at least give us the option to “skip” after a short time. I delete apps that force me to make a move in a game I don’t want before I can move past. As far as MT, it was okay but there are certain rule options (e.g. first rule) I expect. I didn’t see any such options, but the intrusive ad never gave me a chance to study the panel more. So, adios. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cheating *2026-07-23, version 6.6* I’ve noticed your game likes to make people draw when they have a playable tile. That’s against the rules. If you can play a tile, you have to play it. ### 1/5 — Worst game ever *2026-07-05, version 6.6* Worst programming of this game. Do not waste your time playing this stupid computerized game. ### 1/5 — Deezywill *2026-06-23, version 6.6* This is the worst Mexican train I’ve played. The computer has the advantage it is very unfair. My frustration level goes up when I play this game. My advise is not to download it. Find some other game!!! This game also cheats! Players take several turns before they let you play! I quit! ### 1/5 — If you LOVE losing, this IS the game for you. *2026-03-15, version 6.6* I think my title says it all. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-03-07, version 6.6* Perfect strategy won me one round out of 6 games played. ### 1/5 — Can’t exit !!! *2026-02-15, version 6.6* No exit from the game. Also does not show what my drawn tile is when I start the game. ### 1/5 — Damn near impossible *2026-01-29, version 6.6* This game is damn near impossible to win. It’s rigged for the user to lose. And if you get a domino even close to the bottom, it gets stuck and you can’t move it without inadvertently switching app. FIX THESE PROBLEMS ### 1/5 — Fun game, the app isn't very enjoyable *2025-12-29, version 6.6* I don't like the layout of my tiles, and I am not a fan that it keeps freezing up on me. ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2025-09-09, version 6.6* It’s really difficult to line up the dominos when placing them. I also had no domino to play but the game glitched and wouldn’t let me pass. Deleted within 5 mins. Absolute rubbish. ### 1/5 — Mexican Train Dominos *2025-09-05, version 6.6* I loved this game. The game layout was perfect. The new layout is horrible. Obviously you have never played your own game. No one wants to open the tray then choose a domino to play and close the tray and then play on every move. Wasting time. CHANGE IT BACK! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Mexican Train *2026-08-11, version 6.6* A great game both played on the iPad and on the table with the real dominoes. ### 5/5 — iPhone 17 Pro prob *2026-07-25, version 6.6* Got new 17pro and now the tiles overlap when they first get thrown down. Irritating. Hopefully a fix is on its way ### 5/5 — Great app - untrustworthy ads *2026-06-26, version 6.6* I definitely enjoy the game, but unfortunately, the Sheen Place🖤 ads are not reflective of what you actually get when you order from the site. They refuse to refund the money and so far it’s been past the month where they allow a return and they have refused to give me to send the items back. They advertise the Embroidery tops and there anything but that. The flowers are stamped on and not three dimensional as it shows in the the ad. I would appreciate if you would review your advertisers. I purchased because I trusted the site on your app. This makes me untrustworthy of everything ad wise that you show. ### 5/5 — Each startup round *2026-06-16, version 6.6* You cannot tell what the starter is , or start your train starter ### 5/5 — Love Mexican Train *2026-04-15, version 6.6* A game that helps you think and remember what your strategy is. ### 5/5 — Love Mexican Train *2026-03-27, version 6.6* Un gm to play that helps with mental clarity. ### 5/5 — Mexican Train *2025-12-29, version 6.6* Fun game to play ### 5/5 — …… *2025-12-27, version 6.6* Challenging fun! ### 5/5 — Can not win *2025-12-17, version 6.6* Why does it take so long to win? I am in 4th place most of the time. The computer wins almost every time. ### 5/5 — Can not win *2025-12-13, version 6.6* Why does it take so long to win? I am in 4th place most of the time. The computer wins almost every time. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
