Asmodee Ticket to Ride Board Game (2025 Refresh) - A Cross-Country Train Adventure for Friends and Family, Strategy Game for Kids & Adults, Ages 8+, 2-5 Players, 30-60 Minute Playtime

Finally bit the bullet and joined the Ticket to Ride gamers. Really fun game for the family. It's easy to learn and you even get to learn some geography. We wish the game had some cut-throat elements, but I guess the makers wanted to make a game that's family friendly and didn't stir up any heated arguments (like Catan). We're still beginners to the game so we're slow, but I can see even with a few games under our belt, game play does go faster. Great educational and strategy game!

This is an excellent board game, with a reasonable mix of skill and luck involved. Depending on how many people are playing, and how quickly they take their turns, this game can take anywhere between thirty minutes and two hours. The rules are simple, and while experienced players have an advantage against beginners, people can get up to speed after a few turns of their first game. Strategies for winning consistently can be gained after only one or two games. There are many versions and expansions for this game, all of which are fun and interesting and worth looking at to see which best suits your group of players. But, this is the most basic form of the game and has the most straight-forward set of rules: - You have "tickets" telling you which cities your trains need to connect in order to earn points, if at the end of the game, the connection isn't completed, you get a negative point value for that "ticket". - You have colored "train car" cards, which you combine to build connections between cities. If a connection is colored, you need that color to make the connection and if it is grey, then you can use any one color to make the connection. - On each turn, you can either: build a connection between two cities; select a new "ticket"; draw two "train car" cards from 5 visible possibilities or from the face down deck. - There are "locomotive train car" cards, which are wild, but are more expensive to draw from the visible cards (only get one). - The longer the set of train cars used to make a connection, the more points you earn (1=1, 2=2, 3=4, 4=7, etc.) - Whoever has the longest connection at the end, by train car length, gets additional points. The expansion versions add other possibilities, depending on the map (tunnels that can take more than one card to complete; ferries that require at least one locomotive; etc.). Some of the maps/expansions are better suited to more players and others are limited to just two or three players. You can probably find a version of this game that is best suited for your group, but this basic version is a good version to start with. I would also highly recommend the PC or mobile version of this game, which can provide access to many of the maps and give you an idea as to which version of the game you would prefer, without buying all of them. Overall, this is one of the best board games out there, well suited to beginning players or more advanced board gamers.

We got this for family night. It was a fun game to play. I don’t like games that are difficult to learn, so this was a great game for me. We had a blast!

This game is great. It is fun and challenging at the same time. The trains are small, but if you keep them in something, they are durable. It takes a while to play, but not super long. Good value.

Love this game! Also bought the 1910 game which is played on the original game board! Like that as well! Strategy is important but very do able!

I bought this game to introduce my parents and younger nephews to Board games and to summarize the experience, it was a huge success! Ticket to ride is a light strategy game where the aim is to connect routes with the chain of trains you have and get points. The person with the highest number of points wins! It is a nice game for kids and elders alike. As this is a beginner strategy game, I would not recommend this game for seasoned strategists, but rather for folks who are just getting into strategy games Build: 9 on 10 The build of the game was really good. The quality of trains was sturdy and the look and feel of the board was professional. I did not need a sleeve for the cards as they did not bend and were nice and flat. They also have a nice touch and feel. While one of my trains was damaged, they had provided plenty of spare trains which made it worthwhile. Packaging: 10 on10 The package was received on time. The product itself comes in nice professional box and has dedicated locations to store each item from the game. It was quite easy to unwrap the product and start using it. Overall: 9 on 10 Overall, having played many many strategy games, this still ends up as one of my favorite ‘light’ strategy games. I often depend on others leaving honest reviews when I need to order a new item. I find that one of the most difficult things about ordering online is that I can’t hold or touch the products before buying them. So, I love reviews from others who have touched, inspected, and used the item I’m thinking about purchasing. I strive for the same in leaving reviews for others – to leave a review that will help others make an informed decision (never to inflate the product's quality). If you have found this review helpful, I’d love if you’d indicate that below.

With all the great reviews already out there, I’m probably beating a dead horse but they’re right. My wife and I enjoy strategy games, but sometimes learning them (and remembering all the rules) can feel like a part-time job. Ticket to Ride hits the sweet spot perfectly. It’s easy to learn, intuitive to play, and a full game takes about an hour. You can play it straight and just focus on completing your routes or you can get a little sneaky and block your opponent at just the wrong time. Both approaches are fun, and the game stays engaging without becoming overwhelming. It’s quick, easy fun and a great way to spend time together instead of endlessly scrolling on social media. Highly recommended for casual strategy fans and couples looking for a solid game night choice.

Even wanting this game for awhile finally got it and glad we did. It’s a great family game might pick and easy to teach. We play with just 2 people or more and it’s fun each time. Quality game pieces that are sturdy. The box is good quality as well won’t breakdown as time goes on.

Highly recommend this game, especially if you are new to Ticket to Ride.

El juego ya lo conocía, muy divertido y gusta incluso a los más longevos (los abuelos rondando los 70 años están enganchadísimos). Las reglas son sencillas y éste en versión americana es mucho mejor que el versión europa por la distribución de las rutas. La única pega es que las instrucciones están en inglés, el resto del juego es independiente del idioma. Si el idioma de las instrucciones no es un problema, desde luego que no merece la pena pagar más porque estén en castellano. Es un juegazo.

great game!the rules are simple,every item has a nice touch and i am enjoying it every time i play.they got some great extensions to the game and i will buy also the Switzerland and India extension. i recommend!for the board games lovers,it's a must!

I found the game quite interesting and engaging while playing with the family. A very well though out game to entertain the family and doesn't ever get boring.. Only the cards are quite small to hold. Otherwise no issues. The quality of the product is top-notch. Plus point is you need not be a hard-core gamer to enjoy the essence of this game. It won't even take much time to finish. So if you have 1- 1.5 hours to spare, this game doesn't have any alternative. The price is really high for an indian customer. I had to pay more than 4000 bucks to have one. Seems you have no alternative once it gets into your nerves. But thinking about the indian and other oriental customers the price should be lessened. RISK is also a good game but it is not overpriced. Only 1500 bucks will suffice.

I love this game! It's super fun, easy to play and possible to play with just 2 people.
