- [2]tile_orientation_choice— “each player creates a line of dominoes; another train, the Mexican Train, can be played on by anyone”
- [2]hand_management_under_draw— “the goal is for the players to get rid of their dominoes”
- [2]route_committal— “starting with the highest double tile placed in the middle, each player creates a line of dominoes”
- [1]attrition_clock— “can last from a single, 20-minute game to a 12 round game lasting hours”
