Life Lessons from playing Mexican Train

As I have been playing the game Mexican Train on Facebook recently, I have been struck by the realization of a few points to ponder that relate to the game of Mexican Train, as well as life.

1. The pieces that have the greatest points need to be played as soon as possible.
2. Just when you have everything lined up perfectly for your own train, someone else plays a double and leaves it open for you to have to cover it, thus messing up you own train.
3. When you see no way to get and keep your own train running smoothly for play, someone else steps in and helps you out perfectly.
4. Playing a double that you can’t cover tends to add several dominoes to everyone else’s playable pieces, thus messing with their trains.
5. It takes a bit of strategy, a bit of luck, and a lot of observation to play the game well!
6. Even if you do not win every round, try not to be concerned because after all, in the big scheme of things it isn’t really going to matter!
