A live Mexican Train scoreboard for your stream
A game of Mexican Train is a long, slow burn, and viewers want to know two things: who is lowest, and which double comes next. The standings panel shows both, lowest total on top and the round and engine double in the header.
Paste this into OBS to test it now
A working Mexican Train overlay with sample players, so you can size and position the source before your first game. When you start a real match, swap this for that match's overlay URL from the launch screen.
Width 1920, height 1080. Untick "Shutdown source when not visible".
What the Mexican Train scorebug shows
- Every player, two to eight rows, sorted lowest first because the low total wins
- A header with the round, the number of rounds and the engine, for example "ROUND 4 OF 13 · ENGINE: DOUBLE 9"
- Totals that include the double blank penalty or the blank-end values if your table plays them
- Highest first instead when you play the variation where whoever goes out collects the pips
- The final order after the last round, with any tie already broken

Browser source dimensions
| Size | When to use it |
|---|---|
| 1920 x 1080 | Full canvas. Use this unless you have a reason not to: widget positions in the designer are pixel-for-pixel what the stream shows. |
| 1280 x 720 | 720p streams. The whole stage scales down, so nothing moves relative to the picture. |
| 820 x 140 | Score bug only. Crop the browser source to the top-left bug if you want the score and nothing else. |
| 820 x 220 | Score bug with the row under it (games won, serve dots, clock or outs, depending on the sport). |
| 1080 x 1920 | Vertical streams for phone-first platforms. Scale the bug up in the designer first. |

Mexican Train overlay FAQ
Can I stream Mexican Train with a scoreboard?
Yes. Add the game's overlay URL to OBS, Streamlabs, YoloBox or vMix as a Browser source at 1920 x 1080 and the standings follow every round you enter.
Why is the lowest score at the top?
In Mexican Train the pips left in your hand count against you, so the lowest total is winning. The header says low score wins, so a new viewer is not misled.
Can the room watch on a TV too?
Yes. Enter the six-digit TV code on a smart TV browser and the same standings, with the round-by-round sheet, show on the big screen.
