Interview with William Pasquin, Current Mexican Train Champion

MTL: Well Mr. Pasquin, tell us, how does it feel to win the first Mexican Train League tournament?

Pasquin: "Feels great, it was really an honor to play with those guys."

MTL: I'd imagine so! How long have you been playing professional Mexican Train?

Pasquin: "Well it really began since the day I was born. You see, before I was born my grandfather was gambling on the streets Manila in the Philippines playing Mexican Train and other domino games to make ends meat back in the 1960's. As years went on he eventually grew a reputation of one of the best train players in country!"

MLT: Wow! That's amazing. So it's safe to say Mexican Train runs in the family?

Pasquin: "Haha, you could say that."

MLT: So, where do you see the world of competitive Mexican Train going in the next few years?

Pasquin: "I expect as the MTL grows in popularity that the general public will grow intrigued by the whole spectacle and, hopefully, the whole organization can grow for this great sport."

MLT: We're glad to hear your optimism! So is there any closing thoughts?

Pasquin: "I would just like to thank the MTL organization, my fellow players, my family, and most importantly god for this wonderful oppertunity."

What is Mexican Train?

Mexican Train, also known as simply Trains, is a game played with dominoes. The object of the game is for a player to play all the dominoes from his or her hand onto one or more chains, or "trains", emanating from a central hub or "station". The game's most popular name comes from a special optional train that belongs to all players. However, the game can be played without the Mexican Train; such variants are generally called "Private Trains" or "Domino Trains". It is related to the game Chicken Foot.
