Ticket to Ride

Ticket to Ride is a beautifully-illustrated coast-to-coast railroad journey. Earn points by claiming routes, building continuous routes between cities, and by building the longest routes, but points are lost if you do not successfully complete the route on your destination ticket.

Ticket to Ride was created by game designer Alan R. Moon, and published by Days of Wonder.

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 in a winner-takes-all competition. The objective: to see which of them can travel by rail to the most cities in North America - in just 7 days.

One of the most popular games ever designed, Ticket to Ride is a simple yet strategic game of connecting cities with trains. The rules are simple enough to be learned in minutes, but the game provides incredible variety and replayability. With cute little plastic trains and a beautiful gameboard, this is a game you'll find yourself playing time and time again.

All aboard for a great family game! Ticket to Ride is easy to learn but requires strategic thinking and quick decision making. Your goal is the collect cards of different types of train cars that you then use to lay claim to railway routes in North America. The longer your route, the more points you earn. You can also get more points by fulfilling “destination tickets” which are goal cards connecting distant cities (ex. New York to Salt Lake City). Each turn you draw more cards, clam a route or get more Destination Tickets. You have to balance greed with speed!
