About the game:
Ticket to Ride is the beloved railway adventure game that introduced millions of players to modern hobby gaming. Players collect colored train cards and use them to claim routes across a map of North America, racing to complete secret Destination Tickets — city-to-city connections that score bonus points when fulfilled, or penalty points if left incomplete. The interplay between building your own network and blocking your rivals creates constant tension. Easy to learn and endlessly fun, it remains one of the best gateway games ever made.
