Our travel-sized version of Double 12 dominoes uses the most efficient material for travel size and weight: playing cards! This is a listing for "poker" size, same as regular playing cards.
Fun fact: Geoff and Valerie like playing with these full-size cards even more than the original domino-sized cards!
Original Domino-Sized Double 12 Travel Domino Playing Cards >>>
"Mexican Train" is one of our customers' favorite games and this set was designed specially for this game, with 10 train cards, a "quick start guide" with how many cards to deal how many players, a link to complete rules of play and a free printable scoresheet. 2-10 Players.
During prototyping and testing, we carefully tested several sizes and styles of material to end up with just the right material and size for these dominoes. The thin, FSC-certified card stock provides the best table action for dominoes: they don't glide across the table with air-cushioned ease (a feature you want in regular playing cards but not with domino cards!) and the thinner material is easier to pick up and put down into domino formations. Because a double 12 set requires 91 tiles, the total size and weight is the more efficient and cost effective than wood or leather tiles.
For shuffling, we find the domino-size cards are easier and faster to flip over than traditional domino tiles. Shuffle them just like you do with tiles: turn facedown and swirl around the table, "Monaco style".
91 domino cards (from 0/0 to 12/12), 10 train cards, 3 blank replacement cards, and 1 Mexican Train "quick start guide" with link to full rules of play in the box. The box can be also used as a train hub!
Cards are made from FSC-certified card stock and come in a 100% recycled paper tuck box.
The cards are printed by a major playing card manufacturer in Hong Kong using specialty machinery not available in the US, accredited by the Forest Stewardship Council™.
Double 12, Mexican Train, and other Domino game Rules of Play and scoresheet are posted on our website.
All of our products and games are designed for adults, ages 14+.

It’s just a little thing - my travel friend and I love to play Mexican Train dominoes and were trying to figure out how to take the heavy set with us our next trip - divide the dominoes and scatter them in our suitcases? I found Walnut online with a perfectly sized set of travel domino cards - heavy stock like really nice playing cards, but sized slightly larger than regular dominoes. They came in a lovely bag with a hand-written note. What a wonderful shop Walnut is! Thanks, Walnut!
We love the design, size, and feel of these cards. They're great for playing all our favorite dominoes games.
Very excited to give these to my sister! Beautiful and high quality
I am super happy with these mini cards. I’ve been looking for a travel set for quite some time. Took the liberty of making a case to put them in so the box doesn’t get ruined in my pack.
This is exactly what I was looking for! A way to play Chicken Foot and Mexican Train while on trips without having to haul around the heavy domino’s and wooden trays. They are great quality and the numbers in the corners make it easy to see your cards in your hand. Fast shipping and packages with care.
I made a travel game pouch in a zippered pencil case. I loved being able to add dominos. My nephews were wowed by them and so I ordered them one and we are making them a game pouch! Amazing!
I love this little set of cards. I’ve bought other items from this seller too and loved those. Happy to be a repeat customer.

These are SO CUTE! And cool. The size is so tiny, great for traveling. Great gifts for the family!!
Just what I was looking for. It's been fun to slip the travel size dominos into my pocket to take to the brewery to play dominos with my friends. As much as I love the tactile feel of a real set of dominos, I was happily surprised how great these card style dominos work. Play on!
This is a great way for a travel size game of dominoes. I am gifting this to my sister who once requested some travel sized dominoes.

Cute little gift which came in a timely manner!
These are great! I love how small and cute they are. The cards are of great quality and arrived quickly and as described.
Very nice quality, very well packaged, exactly what I expected. Highly recommend
Cute and functional! Great find.
This is the perfect set of dominos for travel. We bought two, one to gift and one to keep. They are easy to read, can't wait to use them.
TINY, but perfect for traveling. I’m sure that my family members on our trip will adore this mini-media for this great game.
Such cute double twelve domino replacement that I can keep in my purse for dominoes on the go. Will buy from this shop again!
SO CUTE! My family is a huge fan of dominos and we typically play while traveling but carrying around a big heavy case of dominos just isn't convenient and always weird to bring into breweries/bars. This card set is PERFECT for our needs! We attempted to do 1-day overnight shipping on a Sunday for Tuesday delivery but it took an extra day and didn't arrive on time for our trip. No fault of the shop, that was on UPS. Luckily the package was there when we returned from vacation and didn't take any water damage from all the rain. Alas, it will be a huge hit for our next trip!
Fun gift idea! so easy to travel with!
My sister has a set of these cards when we’ve used them when traveling so I wanted to get my own set.
These are exactly as described and perfect for travel. Thanks
Perfect for travel and restaurants
Great gift for my dad who loves Mexican dominos. He was a bit confused when opening the box as there was leather caring instructions inside but that might have been packing materials. Other than that it was good!
Arrived very quickly and is great quality. So tiny!
Fantastic product!!!!It is Perfect for travel!
