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... Ticket to Ride is a cross-country train adventure where players collect cards of various types of train cars than enable them to claim railway routes connecting cities throughout North America. Includes a detailed board, game cards, help cards, rules, train miniatures and more.

Ticket for fun

This game is so much fun! It is easy to learn, and can be played with different levels of strategy, so even young children, age 7 or 8 can play.
Our family plays with adults, and it can become difficult as we try to block each other along the routes.

It"s fun to play.

I gave this game to my eleven year old grandson for Christmas. His mother telephoned me twice last week to tell me how much they are enjoying it. They are a board game family and have many from which to choose. They played it at least four days last week. My selection was due to the reviews posted on Amazon.

A quick and easy-to-learn game

Got this game for the holidays. Lots of fun, easy to learn. Relies more on strategy and planning than on luck-of-the-draw. Very intense competition at times. I look forward to bringing this game to many get-togethers.

Fun mapping game

Fast to learn, fun to play; this game offers a great transition into more complicated games for you and your friends. Just remember only 5 people can play - which is a plus if you have that one friend that always seems odd man out and a negative when you have those 2 couples you were planning on spending some time with...
