Ticket to Ride

Product Review (submitted on October 14, 2015):

When a board game is described as "European", this is the game that jumps to mind first. The competition is more about economics than destruction. The rules are simple to learn, and a turn is when you perform one action--as opposed to the more American feel of a game with multi-phase turns.

This game has sort of become a modern classic, and it's no surprise. There's a shallow learning curve and lots of replayability. The game scales nicely to four or five players but is just as fun with only two.

My only complaint would be that the cards are teensy, so if you enjoy the game, consider picking up the 1910 expansion which has large-form cards in it.
