You can quickly figure out which tile is missing. Run water through dominoes to take off any sticky dish soap residue.Ī-The best way to tell if a domino tile is missing is to lay them out on a table by numbers. With a clean sponge, rub dominoes in water trying to take off the residue.Get a large bowl, fill with warm water and a few drops of dish soap.Clean with a clean cloth and baking powder.We make the racks and score pads in the USA.Ī- Our customers have suggested the following domino cleaning remedies: Unfortunately, we can't make the sets for the same costs in the USA. Q-Why aren't any domino sets made in the USA?Ī-It's all about cost. Q-We think the colors particularly the 6s and 9s are too similiar in color, what do you suggest?Ī-Add a drop of red nail polish or paint to the inside of the circle on the 6,so you can easily tell it apart Q-Why would Cardinal brand dominoes change their colors from year to year?Ī- GREAT QUESTION ! We don't know, we loved the old color scheme too. Additionally, other domino games besides Mexican Train can be played with double 15s? The rules state you reduce the number based on the number of players. Q-Why do I need double 15s vs double 12s?Ī- If you play with 8 or more players, double 15s allow you to not reduce the number of tiles you select on the opening hand. Plus, it's much easier to see your tiles and organize them. Start out with a lower priced set to get started.Ī- Dominoes can tip easily when you reach across the table. Q-I'm just starting out what set should I buy?Ī-We recommend a set that has the hub, trains and case. You won't be calling "uno" or tapping and players will be caught with more points. So it's strategic to keep the double and it's matching tile in your hand. ![]() Therefore if you play a double as a last time, you must draw if you can't answer it. According to Giselle,you must answer any double. Some people also play that you can play all of your doubles on one turn.Ī-The biggest dispute is whether if you only have one tile left and it's a double whether you can go out. Most people prefer to have three doubles as the answer. The number of doubles to answer a double varies by group. At all times,the double must be "Answered". Signaling that you have one tile is a courtesy so people know to play their highest points or to strategically play a double to try to block the person who called uno.Ī- This ruling is courtesy of Giselle who wrote a set of rules for Mexican Train. Most train games are social and not tournament play so it's hard to enforce this rule with friends.Most people just scold the offender and say you didn't say uno. NOTE:This is the rule used by most train groups but we have never played with a group that actually enforces the drawing of two tiles. If you don't tap and are caught by another player you have to draw 2 tiles. Q- What's the right way to announce you have one tile?Ī- When you get down to one tile, you can tap on the table and/or announce "uno". Many people play orderly by rotating who goes next and checking it off on the scorepad Then the person to the right of the person who won,goes on successive rounds. There is no right way- just variations for you to choose.Ī- We play the person who drove the farthest goes first. You can also play a double early to enhance your opportunities to play because there are three legs. You can use them to cause an opponent to have to draw towards the end of the game. This dramatically changes the game because doubles now have significant strategic value. We prefer that you answer the double with three tiles. Many people play you only answer the double with one tile. ![]() Q- What is the correct amount of tiles to answer a double?Ī-This variation causes the most stress when people play this differently. ![]() How do we know how many dominoes to draw to start the game?
