WHAT IS "TAHITIAN TRAIN"
it is a domino game.  it is Mexican Train;
I just happened to play it alot when i was in french polynesia,
and we called it version Tahitian Train.

This game is for three players (all human), so you better have friends
ready if you want to play this game.

There are four stacks (trains) of dominoes.  The top stack is the public stack,
the right (player 1), bottom (p2), left (p3).

HOW TO PLAY

Your goal is to get rid of all your dominoes before the other players.  If you cannot
get rid of all your dominoes, try to get rid of as many high numbered pieces as possible.
your score is calculated as the sum of all the numbers on the dominoes you have left.
the winner's score is always zero.  The game has twelve rounds, and your cumulative score
is kept.  The lowest score after 12 rounds is the winner.

placing a piece
 you can place a piece on your train, the public train, or on any open train (another
 player, who has a train atop his/her stack)
 UNLESS someone played doubles, and the double has not been filled.

 if you cannot place a piece, you must draw a piece (press GRAPH)

doubles
 there are twelve doubles (the same number on both sides of a domino).  if you play doubles,
 then you get to place another piece before your turn ends.  if you cannot place this piece,
 you have to draw a piece.  if you place your second piece on top of your double, then the 
 double has been filled.  nobody has to play on this train.  BUT if you do not place your second
 piece on top of the double, all players must either fill the double (by placing a piece of the same number
 on top of the double) or draw.  this is repeated until the double is filled.
 you cannot play two consective doubles because this programmer is lazy.

winning the game
 get rid of all your pieces first

CONTROLS
enter - select
mode - deselect
del - flip piece
left/right/up/down - move cursor
y= - cover up your pieces
graph - draw a pice

TIPS
plan your moves well in advance; you might want to write them on paper

use your doubles wisely; you can sometimes stop a player from finishing
by making them play a double

if one of the players cannot play on the center tile (first tile), wait
a while to play on the public train (so he/she will have to draw for
that particular tile).


FUTURE VERSIONS
i probably will never touch this game again.
i might fix critical bugs, but never will improve the game.
