Ticket to Ride
From the Publisher...
October 2, 1900 - 28 years to the day that noted London eccentric, Phileas Fogg accepted and then won a £20,000 bet that he could travel "Around the World in 80 Days". Now at the dawn of the century it was time for a new "impossible journey". Some old friends have gathered to celebrate Fogg's impetuous and lucrative gamble - and to propose a new wager of their own.
The stakes: $1 Million in a winner-takes-all competition. The objective: to see which of them can travel by rail to the most cities in North America - in just 7 days. The journey begins immediately...
Ticket to Ride is a cross-country train adventure where players collect cards of various types of train cars that enable them to claim railway routes connecting cities throughout North America.

| Easy to learn, easy to play. A great way to introduce non-gamers or new-gamers to the German type game environment. |

| Really easy to learn, almost contant action, never a dull moment!!! If you like games with strategy but were turned off to the length of the game or complexity of the instructions, well... try Ticket to Ride. It offers plenty of strategy yet easy enough for young and old to understand. Every time we've played it, we always had to play 2 or 3 times because it was so much fun. |

| It's really easy to learn. It's sort of a combination of Settlers of Catan and Pirates Cove. My family played it for the first time a few dyas ago, and we absolutely love it! My brother plays it every day at lunch with his co-workers. |
Janeen =)
| This a great game to play with children or adults. I love the little trains you get to place on the track/routes. Also, Days of Wonder have included 5 extra trains just in case you lose one or two pieces!! The rules are so simple...only 2 pages!! I hate rules! I never can understand them, and theses rules are very comprehendable. Ticket to Ride is fast becoming a favorite!! |

| Great family game. For beginners and experienced gamers alike. Plays equally well with 2 to 5 players. The included Days of Wonder on-line webcard is an added bonus that allows you test your skills on-line vs. players from around the world. |
