Editorial Review: Product Description: Ticket to Ride is a cross-country train adventure where players collect cards of various types of train cars that enable them to claim railway routes connecting cities throughout North America. Ticket To Ride is designed for 2-5 players and can be played in 45 minutes Manufacturer's Description: With elegantly simple gameplay, Ticket to Ride can be learned in 3 minutes, yet players face strategic and tactical decisions that vary with every turn. Players collect cards of various types of train cars that are then used to claim railway routes connecting various cities across a map of North America. The longer the routes, the more points they earn. Additional points come to those who can fulfill Destination Tickets - goal cards that connect two distant cities; and also to the player who builds the longest continuous route. Customer Reviews

 Rating: - All aboard!This is the first, the original Ticket to Ride game - and the most basic, so it is perfect for those new to the series to learn the rules. You are presented with a map of the US and southern Canada. You are given route cards for building railways between cities. By completing the routes, you receive points, and the one with the most points at the end is the winner. Simple, no? So, do you build routes north-south or east-west? Except your fellow players are also building routes too - and there is only space for one or at the most two tracks between cities. AND you need the right kind of train to lay on the tracks, trains that can only be put together from a separate stack of cards. From these foundations ... Read More: Rating: - Looking for fun? This is just the Ticket!Days of Wonder's board game 'Ticket to Ride' comes in a number of variants but if you are looking for a good place to start then you cannot really do better than the original American edition. The rules are somewhat simpler than the European edition that adds in stations, tunnels and locomotives giving the American edition a simplicity that not only makes it easier to learn but more suitable for family play. It also means that the games are usually significantly shorter. The rules of the game are far too complex to list but the aim is to create train journey routes to join cities together. Each of these routes you establish earns you points - the longer and more difficult the route, the more points you get. However there ...

Which you WILL want to once your opponent snatches certain victory from you using "New York to Los Angeles"! Very enjoyable. Highly recommended. Rating: - Everything silentkid said, and moreThis was the first "proper" game I played, and since then, I've got a small group of family and friends over the stigma that is attached to board games. The stigma that is mostly due to Monopoly. The only real thing I can add to silentkid's review is: - There are no dice. The 'I rolled a four, which means I've lost' scenario doesn't happen. I played it once, then bought it. My sisters played it once, and bought themselves copies. My old folks played it once and bought it for three of their friends for Christmas presents. Buy this game, then once you realise that games don't have to be boring, track down more "Spiel des Jahres". Rating: - Great gameTicket To Ride is a great game for all the family. With each game lasting roughly one hour and quick setup and take down, this game is anti-dote to such family board game horrors like Monopoly and Risk. The basic idea of the game is build train routes connecting various cities across the USA to collect more points than your opponents. To complete a route requires a number of coloured Truck Cards of a certain colour. Long routes are worth more points than short routes but require some hard saving of Truck Cards. Points are awarded for completing a route between cities, completing a Ticket (a longer route made up of smaller routes), and by having the longest sequential route on the map at the end. The components of the game ... Read More: |
