Description
With its elegantly simple mechanics, Ticket to Ride is quick to learn, taking less than 15 minutes to grasp, yet it offers deep strategic and tactical choices with every turn. Players gather cards representing different types of train cars to claim railway routes across North America. Longer routes yield more points, and additional points can be earned by completing Destination Tickets, which connect distant cities, or by building the longest continuous route.
Ticket to Ride author Alan R. Moon explains, "The rules are straightforward enough to fit on a train ticket – on your turn, you either draw more cards, claim a route, or pick up additional Destination Tickets. The real challenge lies in balancing the temptation to accumulate more cards against the fear of losing crucial routes to your opponents."
Staying true to Days of Wonder's reputation for high-quality, large-format board games, Ticket to Ride features a large board map of North America, 225 custom-molded train cars, 144 illustrated cards, and wooden scoring markers.
