Goal
Be the first to play all your tiles each round. Lowest total pips after
13 rounds wins.
Your Turn
Play
one tile on any eligible train. The played tile's matching end must equal the train's open end. The engine matches every train's first tile.
Doubles
Playing a
double earns an extra play. You must play another tile (matching the double's value, on that same train). If you can't, draw — and if still stuck, your train opens.
Active Double
While a double is unsatisfied, the
next player must address it (or draw, then mark their train open).
Mexican Train
The shared train — anyone can play on it any turn.
Can't Play
Draw one tile from the boneyard; if still no play, mark your train open and pass.
Open Trains
Open trains can be played on by anyone. Playing on your own open train closes it.
