Ticket to Ride, from Days of Wonder, is one of the ultimately simple yet deep gateway games that continues to prove its place in the world of gaming. In Ticket to Ride two to five players compete against each other to earn the most victory points, by placing train routes across the United States of America. Points depend on the length of the train route played, the longer the better. Routes are claimed by collecting and playing coloured cards that match the colour of the routes across the map. As the game progresses, the map starts to become crowded and the game cane become more cut throat as players start to cut each other off or try to; why is this important? Players get tickets that link two cities on the map, if the player with the ticket gets to link them together, then at the end of the game more points are awarded, however, if the player cannot link them together the points are taken off and you can't discard the tickets that you decide to keep. So, having a watchful eye on your opponents to see where you can head them off or where they might head you off is key to victory. Ticket to Ride is already a classic in gaming that has won endless awards and sold millions of copies worldwide suitable for newcomers to the hobby and gaming veterans alike.

Love this game. Easy to learn the basics, but the strategy will take a little longer. Excellent game.

Ticket to Ride is the game you use to convince people that games when you are competing against each other don’t have to wreck friendships (yes I’m looking at you Monopoly). It’s an entry level game and it’s easy to teach people the rules. I’ve taught several people who aren’t familiar with board games in an evening and we had a great time. The concept is simple. Place trains to get from point A to point B to score points. Rinse and repeat. But there is a lot of depth too it. Do you take that route when it’s not near your other routes? Or do you take the shorter route and score less points but you can use half the route for another route you have? I just need a white card to finish that last train…please nobody trigger the last turn….argh where is that white card! See, it has tension too, but just the right amount of it. Not so much that you’re going to be frustrated with yourself, and most of the time you think back and realise it would have probably been better to go at something a different way. Highly recommend this game to all gamers. My only gripe in this version is the cards are quite small so hard to hold in your hand properly.

Seemed very complicated at first, but it really isn't. It's a chill game with a real competitive edge. It's exciting because you aren't quite sure who's winning until the very end. There's a lot of strategy and a bit of luck and it's a very fun game for pretty much the whole family.
