About

Caboose

Read full description

The Mexican Train scorecard that never loses track of a round. Caboose shows the next engine big and bright, keeps every round in one grid, and highlights who is leading (lowest wins). After each round, type each player's pips on a big number pad, give whoever went out a zero with one tap, or let the tile picker add up the dominoes left in a hand. • Double 12, double 15 and double 18 sets: 13, 16 or 19 rounds, or a shorter game • 2 to 8 players with double 12, up to 12 with double 15 and 18 • Play the doubles in any order: Caboose tracks which ones are left and suggests the next engine • Optional house rule: the double blank counts 50 • Fix any past round or undo; totals recompute instantly • iPad and landscape: the whole grid on one screen, round entry beside it; the screen stays on during play • Works fully offline. No ads, no account, no tracking Pro (one-time purchase): unlimited game history, player stats and head-to-head records, sunset and blue express colors, and a shareable picture of the final standings.
