Best board game!! With different mode of play each time you play the game, the quality & also setting up the game takes only a few secondsJust a fun game to play with friends & familyNo complicated rules or no difficulty in understanding how to play the game

This game was recommended on multiple websites, so I asked some friends if they'd played it. All who have played this before said it is a great game and I agree after playing myself. If you like strategy games this has an easy learning curve without being too complicated to master. Each game takes about an hour to play. The way it works is each player picks three cards at random. Each card has a mission like the game Risk. You have to connect train cars from one destination to the next depending on your mission. The game board has multiple routes to each destination. There are 5 face up draw piles and one face down pile to choose cards from. On your turn you pick 2 cards from the face up piles or the face down pile unless you choose to pick a wild card from the face up piles and if so, you only get that one card.(if you draw a wild card from the face down pile you still can pick another card) There is no maximum hand size. The goal is to create matches using the different colors available. Depending upon your mission you may have no options to use some colors, or you may have multiple options to use some colors. Each turn you may play train cars or draw cards, but not both. The object is to create color matches of two, three, four, five and six cars, play those combinations in connection with your other train cars to create a contiguous line of train cars until you connect your departure point with your destination point. More strategy is involved when you have the option to block another player's route, so the more players the better. The game ends when a player has three or less cars left in their inventory.

Ticket to Ride is an outstanding board game that combines strategy, luck, and just the right amount of tension. The objective of the game is to build train routes across North America, and the player with the most points at the end of the game wins.One of the things I love about Ticket to Ride is its simplicity. The rules are easy to learn, making it a great game for both seasoned and new gamers. At the same time, the game offers plenty of depth and replayability. Each time I play, I discover new strategies and paths to victory.The components of the game are also top-notch. The train car pieces are made of sturdy plastic and have a nice weight to them. The board is large and easy to read, and the cards are of good quality.Another great aspect of Ticket to Ride is that it's a game that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. My kids love it just as much as my adult friends and I do. It's also a great game for families to play together, as it strikes a perfect balance between competition and cooperation.Overall, I can't recommend Ticket to Ride enough. It's a fantastic board game that should be in every collection. It's easy to learn, endlessly replayable, and a lot of fun. Five stars!

Ticket to Ride is one of my favorite games in recent years. Fairly easy to learn, competitive and fun. While I've only played with adults and teens, kids could also play this North American version.The first Ticket to Ride games I received as gifts were Nordic countries then the Asia version. While fun to play, there was more of a challenge playing with unfamiliar maps. The North America version has train destinations in cities in the United States and Canada, which are more familiar to me, so it's easier to focus on strategies. There are slightly different rules and game play in the different versions, but the general concept is the same.There is an element of luck, with the draw of destination tickets and train car cards, plus strategy of how to complete your routes through different cities to reach your final destinations. The longer routes are more challenging to complete and give you more points. You will usually complete several routes in each game, but be careful to not have any incomplete routes, because they count against your final score. There is a large, well made game board, plastic train cards, destination tickets and different colored train car cardsTwo or three players can finish a game in about 40-60 minutes, with 4 or 5 it can take closer to 60-90 minutes. The more people playing means more competition and challenges to complete your routes.There was a sale price of about $20 off, which was a great deal, but even at $45 it's worth buying.All in all a great game and a good value.

This game is super fun to play and perfect with kids or even adults. What I love about this is it also provide educational content to kids to know more about geography. We never get bored with this bord game.

It is a great game. We play all of the Ticket to Ride games. It's a fun game for family and friends.

My family and friends loved this game. It was expensive for a game, but it was worth the price. It was a lot of fun.
