Ticket to Ride

Product Description

October 2, 1900 was 28 years to the day that noted London eccentric, Phileas Fogg accepted and then won a $20,000 bet that he could travel "Around the World in 80 Days". Now at the dawn of the century it was time for a new "impossible journey." Some old friends have gathered to celebrate Fogg's impetuous and lucrative gamble and to propose a new wager of their own. The stakes: $1 million -- and the winner takes all competition. The objective: to see who can travel by rail to the most cities in North America - in just 7 days. The journey begins immediately...

Customer Reviews

Very fun and easy to play
This game was very fun and easy to play. In fact, it is one of the only games that I own that doesen't have an extensive manual for directions (i.e. Carcassonne, Settlers). The pieces even came in individual baggies! The game play was quick since only 1 action can be performed each turn, so you aren't spending 1/2 of the game waiting on people to make decisions. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys playing strategy boardgames.

Ticket to Ride Board Game Review
The game design is excellent; learning to play requires under five minutes! There is plenty of subtle strategy for advanced board gamers. You can play it with children of 8 years or more I believe and they would enjoy the game as well. Porbably one of the top board games in the last 20 years.

Having said this, there is one key defect: the cards are too small and are also wearing out quickly. I refuse to buy another entire game just to acquire a new set of cards. The game mfr. has to resolve this issue pretty soon or the good will of the customer base will be lost.

Love Love Love it!
We have this game and love it! We have played with many of our friends, and everyone can play. After we finish a game, we normally start again! Directions are easy to understand and explain. Play it and you will love it
