Hardcore version of Ticket to Ride - a must have!, 18 Sept. 2016

As a die hard Ticket to Ride fan, who has collected and played all stand alone games and expansions, I think it is the best version (so far). It is very well balanced and adds strategy (e.g., initially deciding how many ships and trains to keep, where and when to build ports).This is a long game, but keeps you engaged completely.It might be slightly overwhelming for novices, but those who know the basic rules will find it easy to grasp.Unlike other stand alone editions, this one has a bonus of double sided board, so technically you buy two games (very similar though) for the price of one.I like to sleeve the cards and it came as a nice surprise that even sleeved the cards had enough space in the provided slots.Without overanalysing the game, I can say if I had to make a choice of keeping only one version of Ticket to Ride, this would be it.Enjoy the game!

A wonderful way to spend an hour, 20 Nov. 2017

I'm not a boardgame enthusiast, but I bought this in an attempt to introduce an activity into the household that doesn't involve passively sitting in front of a screen - and it's been a big hit.Simple to learn, it takes one game to get to grips with the mechanics and after that the strategy and tactics elements are easy to develop from there, and you get a deeper experience the more you play it. The scoring is really effective in creating excitement, particularly towards the end of a game, and the gameplay rewards both risky and conservative approaches, depending on how the board develops.It's really inclusive, and has unbelievable replay value. I love it.

Perfect game, a family favourite., 14 Nov. 2016

This is the perfect German-style board game. It keeps all players focused and in the game until the very end and quite often we do not know who has won until the game is finished (we tend to count points in the end because it's easier to do it that way). It's a very fun game that is easy to understand once you are a few rounds in. I've also found that it works just as well with two players as it does with six. This is my favourite of the Ticket to Ride range.
