Days of Wonder | Ticket to Ride Europe | Board Game | Ages 8+ | 2-5 Players | Average Playtime 30-60 Minutes

Amazing game! Bought for a family member at Christmas and it's become our favourite. Easy to learn but challenging enough to always be fun and use your brain! Can never predict who will win. Great price too.

So glad we got this. Good game for me and daughter (44 and 7 years old respectively). Fun and strategic but not too complicated. Good game and good for Europe geographical education (we travel a fair bit so its good for her to get perspective of how all the places we have visited are connected).

Great game, easy to learn, this and others in the series have provided hours of entertainment, and there is strategy involved to exercise the brain. Can be played on average sized dining table. Nice graphics.

Excellent !!!

Ticket to Ride is one of those games that’s easy to learn but still has plenty of strategy. The rules are straightforward, so new players can pick it up quickly, but there’s enough competition and planning to keep everyone engaged. The gameplay strikes a nice balance between being relaxing and competitive, and every game feels a little different. It’s become a regular favourite in our house and works well with both family and friends. Definitely a board game I’d recommend having in the collection

After introducing Ticket to Ride Europe to our game's group last night, I had to write up on how much fun everyone is having with this great game. I had purchased the game merely 5 days ago, and my Girlfriend and I had played it non-stop. By the time we took it to our friends' house, we had come to realise that the game was not only incredibly easy to teach to others; but that it was also quite addictive. Following on basic game turn rotation like Catan, with the mixed element of linking rail lines, the game mechanics are notoriously simple. You draw cards, match the colours of the cards with the routes you want, lay down you trains, and subsequently create train networks. People tactically block off the routes you want, you use stations to by-pass this and the game ends when people get close to running out of trains. So if you're not into complex mechanics, or just want a simple game that has instant replay value, then this will be for you. Even playing with 3 new players, the game took no longer than an hour and a half of set up and play time. So the added benefit is that it won't consume your time if you don't have it like other games of mine do, like Arkham Horror or Dominant Species. The great thing I noticed is that within a short time, people were making quite complex strategies to win the game, and at no point was the game decided until the last few rounds due to a constant shifting power balance which also makes the game quite tense by the end. As a comment on quality and durability, the trains are made from good thick plastic in shiny colours and the board and cards are very brightly printed. One addition we liked was that our colour blind friend could play without much difficulty as all of the routes and the train cards are symbol printed. I rarely ever rate durability as full marks (despite my distain of the star system anyway), due to the fact that parts are cardboard and cards will at some point get damaged and deteriorate. Although I will add that if look after your game but still play it regularly, it should last you for many years. Lastly, mine and others only niggle is the limited long route cards (6) and ticket cards (45). Within a short amount of time, you begin to learn the long routes and the normal routes in the tickets. However, some may argue that this adds a tactical element to the game as you have to be a bit sneaky and clever to complete your routes. Regardless, we wanted more so I have purchased the 1912 expansion for Europe, which has made the overall game more expensive. So with this, the game is not perfect in my eyes, but it's so much fun and so widely playable to so many audiences it's very hard to fault it that much. A great game to play, easy to learn, quick and highly repayable. R. Evans 2012.

Great family game. Fun to play with or without children. Relative to some other games (Risk, Catan) it is quick.

I decided this was a definite purchase after I first saw how much fun was had playing this game whilst watching "Wil Wheatons Tabletop" on YouTube. A big board game that looked fun, with some thought and tactics required but not overly complicated. And a game that didn't drag on forever and never finish...cough...Monopoly...cough! From reading other reviews and opinions, I decided on the "Europe" version rather than the original USA version. I wasn't disappointed. Living in the U.K. made this an easier choice as well, being more familiar with the European countries. The first run through was a bit slow, mainly due to learning the rules of the game. But now most games take around 30-45 minutes. Long enough to have substance and keep people interested but not too long to get bored. Some people that I have played with aren't used to this longer format having only played faster paced, tradition board games. As such they try to rush through. So most importantly, please go slow and keep well on top of points being scored as on a few occasions we lost track and had to do a re-count. This can be annoying and time consuming but is a flaw of the players and not the game. It would have been nice if the train pieces were made from heavier wood or metal rather than the current plastic. I get that this would bump up the price quite a bit, so I do understand why this is not the case. However, on a few occasions we did knock the board a few times sending pieces flying. This could have easily and cheaply been fixed by making recessed spaces on the board where you place you counters. Apart from that, this will make a great addition to any board game collection and is a great jumping on point for introducing others to more in depth games such as Catan or Alhambra. And leading them away from the bores that are Monopoly and Cluedo!

Il Gioco è divertentissimo, facile da imparare e gioca tutta la famiglia

Good game, easy and quick to learn, and to teach to new people. It doesn’t take hours to finish the game.

We’ve been playing Ticket to Ride almost every day lately, and it has quickly become one of our favorite family board games. It’s the perfect mix of strategy and simple logistics, which makes it engaging without feeling overwhelming. The rules are easy enough for kids 8+, but there’s still enough depth to keep adults interested. Each player builds train routes across the map, trying to complete destination tickets while blocking opponents and planning ahead. It encourages strategic thinking, patience, and a bit of risk management. A full game takes about an hour for us, which feels just right , long enough to be immersive but not exhausting. The quality of the board, cards, and train pieces is also excellent and holds up well even with frequent use. If you’re looking for a family table game that balances fun and strategy and works well for mixed ages, this is a great choice. It’s become a staple in our house.
