Ticket to Ride

Ticket to Ride is just one of those games that every new gamer should at least try as they're entering the hobby. As an introduction to some basic game mechanics that are wonderfully blended, it's just a great starting point.

A must-have game for introducing new players into the hobby. Approachable mechanics and theme, but enough going on to make it entertaining for experienced gamers too. Just make sure you buy the Ticket to Ride USA 1910 Expansion at the same time so you can play the game with regular-sized cards. The base game only comes with fiddley mini-sized cards

I know I'm not saying anything that hasn't been said a million times before about Ticket to Ride, but it deserves repeating. This game is the perfect introduction to "premium" board games. It is simple enough that, having no experience with the game, myself and the 4 people I was playing it with felt completely comfortable with the rules and overall flow of the game by the second turn. Ticket to Ride is the kind of game that offers enough strategy that you'll want to keep coming back, but not so much that it will scare off newcomers.

Ticket ride, what a great game! Love that there are different versions. Once you start with the basic game you can get different ones with added twists. Instructions aren’t terrible to learn. Just give it a read and look at the cards, it’ll all click. It would be a good idea to have some sort of card holder, you can accumulate a lot. Or you can just get rid of them as fast as you get them. I prefer to hold out and try to get as many as possible. You collect cards with destinations and collect colored train cards to get you there. Love that the edge of board has a score keeper makes it so much easier, no pen and paper needed. Great family fun!

Ticket to Ride is a great Euro style board game that is simple enough that everyone in the family can play. You spend your time trying to collect enough cards so you are able to build routes across the United States before your opponents take them first. While doing this you have certain cities that you must connect for a boost of points if you get it, or a penalty if you don't. Overall I really enjoy this game as a family game. My family, however, tends to play its cousin, Ticket to Ride: Europe, because of its more forgiving nature. So if you don't want your opponents messing with your strategy I would pick up Ticket to Ride: Europe instead.

I really like this game, I do recommend the 1910 expansion for better gameplay. This is great right out of the box and will be considered our generations Monopoly in time. The components are nice, but I do prefer bigger cards, it is manageable. Great buy for the money and will lend to many game nights with friends and family.
