Mexican Train, also known as simply Trains, is a game played with dominoes. The object of the game is for a player to play all the dominoes from his or her hand onto one or more chains, or "trains", emanating from a central hub or "station". The game's most popular name comes from a special optional train that belongs to all players. However, the game can be played without the Mexican Train; such variants are generally called "Private Trains" or "Domino Trains". It is related to the game Chicken Foot. ==Equipment== A double-twelve set of dominoes is marketed as the standard for Mexican Train, and accommodates up to 8 players. Other sets are commonly used as well. The following alternate sets are common, depending on the number of people playing: * Double-Six (2 players) * Double-Nine (2–4 players)〔Kelly, Jennifer A., ''Great Book of Domino Games''. Sterling 1999. ISBN 978-0806942599.〕 * Double-Twelve (5–8 players)〔 * Double-Fifteen (9–12 players) * Double-Eighteen (13+ players) In addition to dominoes, the game also requires: * One token or marker for each player * A special spacer, known as the "station" or "hub", used to evenly space the trains around the central domino (optional). * Pencil and paper to keep score Many sets of dominoes include a station and special train-shaped tokens for markers, and packaged games with a central "station" and custom tokens are available. However, the station piece is not strictly needed, and anything from coins to poker chips to even pieces of candy or slips of paper can be used as markers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mexican Train」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
