Mexican Train Dominoes Set Double 12

What matters most

If you want a game-night set that comes with more than dominoes alone, this Mexican Train kit includes the pieces for organizing play and packing everything away together. It has 91 colored Double 12 tiles, eight wooden trays, nine colorful trains, a hub, instructions, a score pad, and a zippered case. The trays have three slanted slots each, so tiles can stand upright or lie sideways instead of being held in a hand. It suits you if a ready-to-set-up family game appeals more than buying a basic tile set and sorting out holders separately.

Ten in mind that eight wooden trays need room around the playing area, that added organization is useful, but it is not the most compact way to play at a crowded table. The tiles are plastic, with colored dots, while the holders are wood. The included case is intended to store and carry the set, and the description says the pieces, including the trays, fit inside.

Best use cases

This set is geared toward family play, parties, and holiday gatherings rather than a minimalist travel kit. Picture players setting their tiles into the slanted slots, then looking across the table to find their own pieces without laying every tile flat. The colorful trains add visible game pieces, while the hub, instructions, and score pad make the set more complete for a group starting a game together.

The product is described as suitable for families and kids, but no age guidance or player count is provided. If you are choosing for a particular group, check that the Double 12 format matches the version you want to play. For someone who only needs domino tiles and already has a way to hold or score them, the extra accessories may be unnecessary. Not the best choice if your priority is carrying only the smallest possible set.

Tips for day-to-day use

Before play, place the trays where each person can reach their tiles and keep the hub and trains accessible in the center of the table. The slots support tiles upright or sideways, so players can arrange them in whichever orientation is easiest to scan. For example, at a family gathering, a player can set their tiles into a rack as they get ready, rather than spreading them face-up across the table.

When the game is over, return the tiles, wooden trays, trains, score pad, instructions, and hub to the zippered case. Keeping the components together makes it easier to bring the set to another room or gathering and reduces the chance that a small game piece gets separated in storage. The colored dots may also help distinguish tile values at a glance, though the set details do not specify a particular color scheme or scoring method.

Before you decide

How many tiles are included? The set contains 91 Double 12 domino tiles.

Are tile holders included? Yes. It comes with eight wooden trays, each with three slanted slots for holding tiles upright or sideways.

Does it include instructions and scoring materials? Yes. The contents include one instruction booklet and one score pad, as well as a hub and nine colorful trains.

Buying verdict

This is a sensible pick if you want a Mexican Train set with wooden holders and a case, and expect to play around a table with room for the trays. The included accessories make it more self-contained than a tile-only set, especially for a family gathering where keeping pieces organized matters. Choose a simpler set instead if you do not need racks, trains, or scoring materials, or if minimizing what you carry matters more than having the full kit.
