Ticket to Ride

Description
Ticket to Ride is a straightforward network building and hand management game for 2-5 players about building train routes across North America. The gameplay is easy to learn but despite the easy-to-play nature still offers a surprising amount of depth and complexity with regards to strategy, planning and critical thinking. Goal destination cards offer a focal point for players to earn extra points, and navigating a successful path towards success quickly becomes challenging as players compete for space on the board to complete their own goals. Recommended age: 8+ Average game length: 30-60 minutes depending on the number of players.
