And whoever wins, gets a golden ticket and gets their reward picture added to their collections.Įach city is depicted by a symbol that reminds you of it, like a Russian Doll to Moskow and a Saxophone to New Orleans. Meanwhile, your young one learns a bit more about the different cities and their iconic monuments. The kids can play it alone to get some good practice in, but there’s also the Pass & Play multiplayer up to 4 players. The gameplay is somewhat simplified while it keeps the spirit of the original game alive.
Days of Wonder has made a child friendly version called Ticket to Ride First Journey. If you have young children, for whom the game was too complex to play, there’s good news. There are additional expansion maps to buy, and new ones are getting added regularly. It also features multiplayer mode and some social interaction to share your triumphs and play against people online. The tablet version is beautiful, as is the Ticket to Ride Pocket that came to mobile a while later. Though the rules are simple, you have to take care to buy the right cities, cutting your opponent off when you can and it’s generally fun to play.
For instance, a green route with four links in the chain will require 4 green cards to purchase, see? Connecting cities in this way and buying routes gives the player points, and the one with the most points win. To do this, they will collect different colored cards that are the in-game currency.
In the game, that’s all about trains, players attempt to connect two cities together by purchasing a variety of different routes on a map. It’s a modern board game made by developer Days of Wonder, that also made the original real board game back in 2004. A game that I have had on my iPad for years now is Ticket to Ride, a game that I’m sure many of you already know as it’s been on the iPad since 2011.
