### 4/5 — Statistics Table

*2026-02-10, version 1.8*

Would be useful to know my number of games played and how many I have won, come second etc.

### 4/5 — Fun game

*2024-09-03, version 1.8*

I keep playing this game.  It is simple and continues to be a fun challenge.

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2024-05-16, version 1.8*

Good game. It does not have as many rounds as the actual game of dominos only three rounds. But much better than other domino games online I have tried

### 4/5 — Great game

*2023-05-26, version 1.8*

It’s simple and it’s fun. Sometimes the dominos don’t place properly and that can be irritating but the game is still enjoyable. The game could be holding best scores but it doesn’t. Overall a great way to pass time.

### 3/5 — Review

*2023-05-24, version 1.8*

Good review and in most cases you will win, is their a way of making it more difficult to show up on top?

### 4/5 — Great game, would like it more if I could change my avatar

*2023-03-20, version 1.8*

Let me change my avatar please! The little guy fills me with rage!

### 5/5 — Fun dominoes

*2022-11-02, version 1.8*

No ads! Super fast play.  Not too smart aliens. Addictive fun.

### 4/5 — It’s great but…

*2022-10-29, version 1.8*

I really enjoy this game; it’s fast, easy and no ads.  My “but” is that you almost always win.  For example, ifyou don’t have a starting domino, the “other players” get you started.  That’s not real dominoes.  That doesn’t happen when the other players don’t have a starter.  Just a bit more of a challenge would be nice.  I know the graphics are for kids but it really is one of the better playing domino games out there.

### 5/5 — Train  mexicain

*2022-05-21, version 1.7*

Un bon passe-temps à réfléchir 😉

### 4/5 — Double not satisfied

*2022-05-08, version 1.7*

Other players are able to play after a double isn’t satisfied but the main player is locked and has to satisfy. Seems to be a piece of code missing for other players.

### 5/5 — Really great!

*2022-05-07, version 1.7*

I have a lot of fun playing this game.

### 4/5 — NanNan

*2022-03-17, version 1.7*

Create undo button

### 5/5 — Plays on me when it shouldn’t

*2022-01-31, version 1.7*

I can’t figure out why the other players  play on my train when my train isn’t up.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2021-12-24, version 1.7*

The app is fun and easy to play. It’s nice to be able to choose the number of players and number of rounds.  The only suggestion would be to enable the user to choose different background, including a solid one.   I have vision problems and that would make it a little easier to see.

### 5/5 — Best out there in my opinion.

*2021-09-15, version 1.7*

After trying many other versions, this pleases the most. I’m loving it. The choice of numbers of players and rounds, in a free version is great! I like the fast play and the pulsating number of draw cards. You quickly know you don’t have a tile that matches. Part of the challenge is deciding how to line up the tiles - why would anyone want it done automatically?! Thanks for this great game!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — The “robots” you play against are programmed to sacrifice themselves trying to sabotage you

*2023-06-16*

This can be an entertaining game because the robots don’t play the game the way that humans do. However, the result is that you almost always win because the robots aren’t programmed to strategize, they are programmed to attempt to sabotage you at the expense of themselves…which means that you win the game about 95% of the time. Fun for a while, but the lack of strategy from your opponents makes it boring after a bit, and it is nothing like the way that the game is played by humans in real life.

### 1/5 — Too Infantile

*2022-01-28, version 1.7*

I think this app would appeal to children most.  And that music is ugly!!!

### 1/5 — The Allien is cheating me in Domino

*2021-11-27, version 1.7*

The Alien has a cool move I kept trying to win this but I won don’t cheat the Alien you have to win

### 1/5 — Needs better directions

*2021-03-19, version 1.6*

Have to figure it out for yourself

### 1/5 — They need to fix

*2021-03-03, version 1.5*

Fix the touch accuracy issues

### 1/5 — Won’t let me play good moves

*2021-01-12, version 1.3*

It won’t let me play valid moves, forcing a draw when I shouldn’t have to. Deleted.

### 1/5 — Cute game that does not work

*2020-04-18, version 1.3*

Tried to play three times and every time the game freezes. Cannot play another domino, cannot draw, opponents cannot play. Nothing you tap works. Had to close out completely and then relaunch. Just not worth the effort.

### 2/5 — System Cheats

*2023-02-01, version 1.8*

You can tell that the other 3 auto players are not picking up cards when it is their turn.  Please fix this…getting very frustrating!

### 2/5 — Unfair

*2021-10-11, version 1.7*

Game looks at players hold tiles to make plays for computer.

### 2/5 — Bring back old version

*2021-04-14, version 1.6*

I lost the non-alien version when I changed phones, which was unfortunate especially when I went to the App Store to find it was gone. This version does not have a sort button to auto-sort or align your dominoes! Difficult to manually do it in the space provided. Plus you cannot choose how many rounds within a game. Do away with the childish alien theme and colors and bring back the better version!

### 5/5 — BEST I'VE FOUND

*2025-10-14, version 1.8*

I HAVE PLAYED JUST ABOUT EVERY MEXICAN TRAIN APP OUT THERE.  TO ME THIS ONE IS THE BEST.. I'VE BEEN PLAYING IT FOR 3-4 YEARS AND NEVER GET TIRED OF IT.  IT IS NOT PROGRAMMED AGAINST U AS SO MANY R. SOMETIMES I WIN, SOMETIMES I LOOSE. SOMETIMES I WIPE THE FLOOR WITH THE PC PLAYERS AND SOMETIMES THEY WIPE THE FLOOR WITH ME.  I WOULD SAY THIS IS A TRUELY RANDOM GAME. COLORS R NICE PLAY IS SMOOTH. U CAN  ARRANGE THE TILES YOURSELF, OR HAVE PC ARRANGE FOR U.  NO TIMERS OF ANY KIND.  PLAY AT UR SPEED.  BLADDER SAYS HELLO, NO PROBLEM, TAKE A BREAK. GAME WILL WAIT FOR U TO RETURN. THOSE R ALL THE REASONS I BELIEVE THIS IS THE BEST OF THE BEST MEXICAN TRAIN APP.  IN FACT, ALL APPS COULD LEARN FROM TTHIS APP. HAPPY PLAYING!

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-03-01, version 1.8*

Good game gets the old grey matter woken up.

### 5/5 — Simple and Fun

*2025-02-28, version 1.8*

Well crafted game. Works well and I love the space theme.

### 5/5 — Avatar

*2024-10-19, version 1.8*

I really enjoy the game.  Keeps your mind sharp thinking of ways to play.  I would like a selection of avatars.  Just the one little boy gets boring.

### 5/5 — Required

*2024-06-13, version 1.8*

This is my third iPad, I installed this game on every one… and it’s the only game which can claim that.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2024-04-17, version 1.8*

Wonderful game! Love playing.

### 5/5 — Great Ad Free Game

*2023-07-01, version 1.8*

If you love domino trains and hate ads, this is a good game! It's fast-paced and fun to look at, and you never have to wait 30 seconds to see a FarmVille ad or what have you. I love the flying saucers too.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2023-03-29, version 1.8*

Close to the board game

### 5/5 — Free

*2023-01-22, version 1.8*

The game is really free. Has banner ads but no annoying commercials. 
It would be nice if you could change backgrounds or player icons but for the price how can I complain :) I enjoy this game very much

### 5/5 — No wasted time

*2023-01-10, version 1.8*

Best game because they don’t force ads … just challenging fun 👍
