![]() Ticket To Ride epitomises this term and is one of the best entry level games. Those in the board game community call games like these ‘Entry Level’. Its accessibility for those not accustomed to the modern era of board gaming means everyone will enjoy it. I’ve covered the base game and the app but now we take a look at the even more family friendly version of the Alan Moon classic. Ticket To Ride is a classic game and there is a reason why it has won so many awards. It's really easy to understand, it's super fast-paced because you can only do one thing on your turn (draw new cards or claim a route), and it still gives the brain a nice workout if you like to play tactically. As mentioned previously, Ticket to Ride was the second game we ever purchased and has a fond place in our hearts. It takes time to collect the cards in the right colour, and there are a finite number of routes, which means you need to make sure that someone doesn't claim a nice direct route between two cities that you need, otherwise you'll be taking the long way around. To claim a route, you need to have some coloured Locomotive card in your hands that match the colour of the route you want to claim, and then you can lay down some of your stock of train cars on it. ![]() ![]() You can actually pick up more Destination cards during the game, adding a risk/reward element. If you achieve it, you get the points on the card if you don't, you lose the points on the card. At the start of the game, you'll receive Destination cards telling you two cities, and challenging you with connecting those two via a continuous route that you own. In the basic version of Ticket to Ride, you'll all aim to become the owner of railway routes between different cities across a board. At 800 Microsoft points (10), the video game version of Ticket to Ride is cheaper than the original board game, which helps make up for the fact that there is only one map on which to play.
