Mexican Train Dominoes - Mexican Dominoes in Wooden Box Fun Family Dominoes Game

You are paying for a complete double 12 set, 91 dominoes, a central hub and 9 coloured trains, housed in a proper wooden slide lid box rather than a card tuck box. The box carries classic Jaques branding and doubles as long term storage, so nothing gets lost between games. Jaques has been making games since 1795, so the set is priced as a piece meant to last for years, not one season.

This set is designed for fast paced fun with groups of up to eight players, using the 9 coloured trains and central hub supplied. It is a double 12 set, so there are more tiles than a standard double 6 set, which suits bigger groups. That makes it a good fit for extended family gatherings rather than just two players at a table. Instructions are included so a full group can learn together.

Jaques lists this set as suitable for ages 3 and up, with the tiles described as easy to grip for smaller hands. The suggested age guidance on the product itself is given as 6 to 7 for children to follow the strategic play properly. In practice younger children can join in with help, while older children and adults will get more from the planning and decision making side of the game. Instructions are included to help new players of any age pick it up.

The set includes 91 dominoes, a central hub, and 9 coloured trains, everything needed to play a full game of Mexican Train. It comes in a wooden storage box with a slide lid and classic Jaques branding, plus signature Jaques gift wrap and ribbon. Written instructions are included as well, so there is nothing extra to buy before you can start playing. The whole game packs back into the one box after play.

The wooden storage box measures 20.4cm high by 12.8cm wide by 8.5cm long. It uses a slide lid design, which keeps the 91 dominoes, hub and trains contained in one place rather than loose pieces in a bag. That makes it compact enough for a shelf or games cupboard. The same box is used for storage between games, so it does not need repacking into anything else.

Jaques presents this set with a wooden slide lid box, signature gift wrap and ribbon, which is built around gifting rather than just play. It is described as suited to every occasion, from birthdays to general family game nights. The wooden box is meant to feel like a keepsake rather than disposable packaging, so it can be handed down. Jaques has made games this way since 1795, which supports the gifting angle with real heritage rather than a marketing claim alone.

The dominoes and box are stored together using the slide lid design, so tiles, hub and trains all return to one place after play rather than being kept loose. This keeps pieces from being lost or scattered between games. Beyond returning everything to the box after use, no specific cleaning or maintenance steps are listed for this set. The wooden box itself is designed for storage rather than daily handling outside of play.

This is a double 12 domino set, which is the larger version used properly for Mexican Train, giving 91 dominoes in total. A double 6 set has far fewer tiles and is not the standard used for this game. The larger double 12 count is what allows play with up to eight players using the 9 coloured trains supplied. This is worth checking before buying, as some cheaper Mexican Train listings use a smaller double 6 set that limits group size.
