For that matter does anyone even remember it? I have owned a copy since it first came out back in 1988. I think I played it a couple of times, but then it found it’s way to the shelf in the train room along with a number of other train related games.
My 10 year old daughter found it and wanted to play. I had forgotten how much fun it was. It plays a little weird, because it is full of all kinds rules that give you extra turns, and others that cause your token to jump all over the board. It just takes some getting used to.
It is nowhere near as mundane as Lionel Monopoly. I don’t think it was simply a licensed product like Monopoly, as the instructions list Lionel’s Michigan address.
If you have a copy, maybe it’s time to dig it out. [swg]
Yea Pat!!! I knew there had to be at least one among us that had this game. I think it was in the catalog for 2 years, then just faded from the scene. I guess it takes just the right person to have bought it back then.
I bought it to add to my collection of train related games. I have about a dozen different games, but I don’t have the Mexican Train Game. I do have one by Ravensburger that is called Roads Rivers and Rails. It is based on a domino concept only simplified. Is the Mexican Train Game still available?
