Ticket To Ride Review
13 out of 15
One of the most popular ‘gateway’ games ever made, Ticket to Ride falls into 'must own' territory for anyone interested in board games.
Date: Wednesday, February 28, 2007
Author: William Abner

Rules:

The rules are amazingly easy to grasp. You’ll be up and playing within a matter of minutes. (You can download a copy of the rules at http://www.ticket2ridegame.com and see for yourself.)

The Bits:

The components are solid; one of the first things that catch the eye of a new player is the color and the interesting looking board. . The trains (of which there are over 200) are well-made of sturdy, colored plastic and the board is lively and colorful with multiple routes spanning all across the United States. The cards are also of good quality (if a tad small) – it’s a pretty typical Days of Wonder production.

Conclusion

The game doesn’t get a lot of play in our house much these days, but when it’s time to show someone just how interesting and different board games can be when all they have been exposed to are the classics of designs gone by – we always, without hesitation, break out our copy of Ticket to Ride. - William Abner
