Real talk
The game night that keeps the iPad in the drawer
Mexican Train Dominoes is addictive in the way old games are: simple to learn, different every round, and honest. 2-8 players build their own trains from the central hub, mixing strategy with the luck of the draw. Every hand feels like a small story.
Your 4-year-old will ask to play it again. Your mum will ask to bring it to hers. You'll find yourself reaching for it instead of scrolling through your phone on a rainy Tuesday.
Joe Jaques, Jaques of London

While they play
What grows quietly while you play
Looks like play. Works like a lesson.
Pattern spotting
Watching the dot sequences, remembering what's been played, planning 2-3 moves ahead. Natural maths without a worksheet in sight.
Turn-taking discipline
A game with real rules, no pausing for screens, no skipping turns. Children learn that waiting and following through matter.
Friendly competition
Winning and losing happen fast. It's not personal, the tiles fall where they fall, and the next round starts fresh. Resilience in miniature.
Strategic thinking
Do I play my strong tiles now or save them? Every choice has consequences. Real decision-making, not random clicking.

Questions & answers
Questions parents ask before they order
Is it really suitable for a 6-year-old? Won't it be too complex?
Yes and no. A 6-year-old learns the rules in one game and plays happily by round two. The maths and strategy grow with them, so a 12-year-old and a 6-year-old can sit at the same table and both be challenged. It's not a kids' game that bores adults. It's a game that grows.
How long does a round actually take?
20-45 minutes depending on player count and how much you chat. made for a weekday evening without eating into bedtime. Long enough to feel like a real game, short enough that everyone stays focused.
Is it a good gift if I don't know the child's age exactly?
Mexican Train works from age 6 up to any adult. If you're buying for a birthday and the child hasn't arrived yet, this plays with siblings and parents while they grow into it. Gift-wrap arrives complimentary with your order, so it lands ready to give.
What if it arrives damaged or I just don't like it?
Send it back within 30 days. Full refund or replacement, your choice. We offer a 60-day returns window through 31 January 2027, so you've got breathing room if you order it before a birthday and want to test it first.

Our story
Making toys worth keeping since 1795.
Jaques of London was founded in 1795. We invented croquet, table tennis, and the Staunton chess set. For 230 years, we've been making things that pull children away from passive entertainment and into active, curious, hands-on play.
Mexican Train Dominoes sits in our vault because it does what great games do: it brings people to a table and keeps them there. No batteries die at the crucial moment. No updates break it. No screens interrupt. Jaques has been making games since 1795 because we believe in objects that last, that improve with use, and that people want to own for life, not borrow for a week. This set is solid wood, hand-finished, and stored in a tin that will outlive the trends. It's expensive compared to plastic, but cost-per-year drops every time you play it.
Toys and games that leave something behind: a skill, a memory, a piece of play that gets passed on.
Joe, Jaques of London
