Asmodee Ticket to Ride Board Game (2025 Refresh) - A Cross-Country Train Adventure for Friends and Family, Strategy Game for Kids & Adults, Ages 8+, 2-5 Players, 30-60 Minute Playtime

Finally bit the bullet and joined the Ticket to Ride gamers. Really fun game for the family. It's easy to learn and you even get to learn some geography. We wish the game had some cut-throat elements, but I guess the makers wanted to make a game that's family friendly and didn't stir up any heated arguments (like Catan). We're still beginners to the game so we're slow, but I can see even with a few games under our belt, game play does go faster. Great educational and strategy game!

Fun for the whole family. It's not overly complicated so anyone can play but the strategy involved keeps it interesting. Only complaint is the cards are tiny. Takes up less table space that way, I guess.

This is an excellent board game, with a reasonable mix of skill and luck involved. Depending on how many people are playing, and how quickly they take their turns, this game can take anywhere between thirty minutes and two hours. The rules are simple, and while experienced players have an advantage against beginners, people can get up to speed after a few turns of their first game. Strategies for winning consistently can be gained after only one or two games. There are many versions and expansions for this game, all of which are fun and interesting and worth looking at to see which best suits your group of players. But, this is the most basic form of the game and has the most straight-forward set of rules: - You have "tickets" telling you which cities your trains need to connect in order to earn points, if at the end of the game, the connection isn't completed, you get a negative point value for that "ticket". - You have colored "train car" cards, which you combine to build connections between cities. If a connection is colored, you need that color to make the connection and if it is grey, then you can use any one color to make the connection. - On each turn, you can either: build a connection between two cities; select a new "ticket"; draw two "train car" cards from 5 visible possibilities or from the face down deck. - There are "locomotive train car" cards, which are wild, but are more expensive to draw from the visible cards (only get one). - The longer the set of train cars used to make a connection, the more points you earn (1=1, 2=2, 3=4, 4=7, etc.) - Whoever has the longest connection at the end, by train car length, gets additional points. The expansion versions add other possibilities, depending on the map (tunnels that can take more than one card to complete; ferries that require at least one locomotive; etc.). Some of the maps/expansions are better suited to more players and others are limited to just two or three players. You can probably find a version of this game that is best suited for your group, but this basic version is a good version to start with. I would also highly recommend the PC or mobile version of this game, which can provide access to many of the maps and give you an idea as to which version of the game you would prefer, without buying all of them. Overall, this is one of the best board games out there, well suited to beginning players or more advanced board gamers.

This is a great game! We have played it so many times since we got it. Our 10 year old loves it. Our 8 year old somewhat grasps it but it is a littler harder for her. For age range, I’d say it is a game for 10 year olds and up. It is pretty easy to understand and set up. Each game has its unique based on the strategy and what cards are picked so it feels like you are playing a new game every time. The game fits well on a table. As far as challenge level, it is something that beginners and advanced players can all play well. It is pretty easy for new people to pick up the game. It is easily moved over to a new location. It is a great game for the price. Games go pretty quick. It takes about an hour to play depending on the number or players. It is easy to teach and people can rely on pictures so they aren’t dependent on their ability to read.

The 2025 refresh of Ticket to Ride keeps everything that made the game a classic while giving it a clean, modern update. It is still the same fun, easy-to-learn cross-country train adventure that works equally well for families and game nights with friends. The 30–60 minute playtime is perfect for weeknights, and the refreshed artwork and components feel more polished compared to older editions. What stands out most is how quickly new players pick it up. The rules are straightforward, but there is enough strategy in route-building and blocking opponents to keep everyone engaged. The updated design breathes new life into a proven favorite, making this version an excellent choice if you are new to the series or ready to upgrade from a worn-out copy. For accessibility, replayability, and overall fun, this is an easy 5-star recommendation.

Every week we play board games as a family. When you play that often either you get board with what you have because it's always the same, or you play ticket to ride. It is different enough each time that you will never have the same experience twice. Like any good game it is more fun with more people. It is a simple strategy game where you complete train routes by placing track sections on the boar for points, o blocking people so they don't get points. If easy enough that even younger children can figure it out easily. Keep an eye out for the expansion packs.

Highly recommend this game, especially if you are new to Ticket to Ride.

This is a fabulous board game to play as it is so easy to learn but is tactical enough to keep everyone interested. Highly recommend.

El juego ya lo conocía, muy divertido y gusta incluso a los más longevos (los abuelos rondando los 70 años están enganchadísimos). Las reglas son sencillas y éste en versión americana es mucho mejor que el versión europa por la distribución de las rutas. La única pega es que las instrucciones están en inglés, el resto del juego es independiente del idioma. Si el idioma de las instrucciones no es un problema, desde luego que no merece la pena pagar más porque estén en castellano. Es un juegazo.

great game!the rules are simple,every item has a nice touch and i am enjoying it every time i play.they got some great extensions to the game and i will buy also the Switzerland and India extension. i recommend!for the board games lovers,it's a must!

I found the game quite interesting and engaging while playing with the family. A very well though out game to entertain the family and doesn't ever get boring.. Only the cards are quite small to hold. Otherwise no issues. The quality of the product is top-notch. Plus point is you need not be a hard-core gamer to enjoy the essence of this game. It won't even take much time to finish. So if you have 1- 1.5 hours to spare, this game doesn't have any alternative. The price is really high for an indian customer. I had to pay more than 4000 bucks to have one. Seems you have no alternative once it gets into your nerves. But thinking about the indian and other oriental customers the price should be lessened. RISK is also a good game but it is not overpriced. Only 1500 bucks will suffice.
