Ticket to Ride: New York

This is a tiny board and you are trying to get your routes laid down and done while not getting blocked in your travels. Nice quick game. We did it with 3 and it probably is the best with 2. Not heavy and can be a 15 minute game with setup.

I'm not sure what I expected when I knew this was a much shorter version of Ticket to Ride. I really enjoy the full versions I've played, but I knew this could afford me the opportunity to have someone other than Alexa to play against more often. It is so quick that one barely has the opportunity to fulfill the first routes. I like it well enough, but it leaves me wanting to keep going. Not sure if there is a version that is somewhere in the middle, but if so, I need to find it!

Smaller Ticket to Ride game to appeal to less hard core gamers. Plays just like Ticket to Ride, only much smaller and plays in about 30 minutes. Recognizable landmarks brings good theme into this smaller TTR game, though with a limited size board, it seems to take away from drawing for more tickets, where I think there may be more risk that you cannot complete the new tickets by game end. But otherwise it is enjoyable for what it is. It is a great gateway game and we bought it for our Game Inventory at our condo for vacationers that rent our unit.

As any seasoned gamer will tell you, the typical playing times suggested on the box range from wishful thinking to wildly unrealistic. Fortunately, this is not the case with T2RNY. It really does take just 10-20 mins. In fact, games are so quick, my partner and I usually make it a best out of three, or five. It's also much more portable than any of the full size games. Great version to take on vacation!

TtR New York is a short, fast version of Ticket to Ride. I feel this is a well balanced game that is quick and fun. The only downside is there isn't a score marker around the board like other TtR games, instead there's a score sheet and pencil included. Not too negative, just a bit odd.
