Great review but I was surprised they didn't mention the 1910 expansion which is the card-only expansion for the basic map that adds a large number of tickets. Personally that expansion is my favorite since it vastly increases the potential number of possible ticket variations you can be dealt and have to shoot for. Also it's the only expansion that mixes completely with the basic game and isn't a completely separate game that you can't play alongside the original. I always recommend 1910 to anyone who likes the original.

Ticket to Ride is like a pop song: a lot of people like it, but that doesn't necessarily make it a great piece of music. I liked it the first few times I played it, and I still enjoy it when I'm not in the mood for something too heavy or complex. I do agree with Paul - I never really *want* to play it over something else. That said, I appreciate Ticket for opening up the world of board gaming to a really large audience. It's great to spread the message that modern board games have thrown out the "roll to move" mechanic and are full of interesting choices. Catan was my gateway game, and I think Ticket is that way for a lot of people. Cheers to trains! Also, the Great Lakes are badass y'all r dumb

Totally get why the Great Lakes map wouldn't be significant to anyone in Europe. For context: the great lakes are great because flying from one end to the other of just Lake Superior takes longer than flying from Norwich to Penzance (or Paris to Zurich, or Berlin to Cologne). It's bigger than Switzerland. It's so big that it never freezes in the winter, but also never gets above 15C in the summer on the north side. It's the biggest of them, but to fly from Duluth on Lake Superior to Watertown on Lake Ontario is 1000km, Warsaw to Paris.

I only recently played Ticket to Ride (Europe) myself and initially thought the idea of building railway routes a bit crap, but I was pleasantly surprised as I really enjoyed the game and would happily play it again. I've been playing quite a lot of Eldritch Horror recently and I think sticking little trains on a board for victory points was a refreshing change from the heavier cthulhu themed stuff I'd been getting used to. Thumbs up from me.

Just one thing to add to this old review; but Ticket to Ride can be challenging for color blind players.

Instead of the boring stations of the Europe edition it gives you pasengers, which makes it even more interesting to build routes early and makes the trade off between short routes in the west vs long routes in the east also more interesting.

I later bought the 15th anniversary edition and apart from the miniature cards and clear plastic trains, is pretty good. The game itself is very satisfying to play as well. I’m still waiting on the Canadian expansion though.

Transporting goods based on cards picked up giving bonuses through distances and other factors. Also the juicy part being you block opponents because some smaller cities have fewer connections leading in and if said opponents wanted to pay you for the use of your tracks. Let me tell you there is nothing getting to a city just a turn before someone was about to connect and you see this grown try to give you puppy dog eyes to let them you use your tracks at a discount... priceless.

weesh ful Sure. The basic strategy is to go for the perfect route - a single long route that connects all of your routes and hopefully wins you the longest route bonus (where applicable). However, sometimes you draw a pile of shite at the beginning, so a better strategy is to block the choke points, complete the easiest tickets you can and finish the game early by going for long routes that score ten or fifteen points each. I've seen a game where one player saved their cards and claimed three six train routes one after another. He went from 20 trains to 2 trains in minutes, surprised all the other players by forcing the end of the game and was the only player not to score negative points. It was awesome.

Ticket to Ride is a boardgame for people who don't really like boardgames. It's more something to do on a slow evening than a competitive game. A round or two are fun occasionally, but then it gets difficult. Here are two house rules to make the game a bit fairer and faster: 1. At the start of the game deal every player five short tickets instead of three. Everyone has to keep exactly three of them and discard the other two. Your long route is non-negotiable. This prevents the situation that your long and short tracks don't match at all and you have basically lost before the game even starts. 2. Give each player a number of random train cards before the game starts. 10, 20 or 30 works great. This just skips the tedious first turns where absolutly nothing happens.
