Ticket to Ride Marklin Edition is a Strategy game available on the BOARD. It can be played in Physical modes.

Ticket to Ride Marklin Edition is a Strategy game. Strategy games provide experiences that require quick thinking, and forward planning from the gamer. They combine the unfolding tactics of classic games like chess, with more recent board games such as Risk. Usually focusing on a theatre of war context, players enjoy the tactical overview of the battle these games provide.

Ticket to Ride Marklin Edition can be played in a Physical mode. Physical games use real world cards, props and boards. Sometimes this complements a video game experience, but more often they simply exist as physical games in their own right. These games range from Eye of Judgement that uses a camera to detect which cards a player has, to interactive play experience like EyePet. Video games that make use of these props look to encompass the strong board gaming tradition that pre-dates and often outsells video games - such as Settlers of Catan or Carcassone.

Board Gamer review Tue, 07 Dec 2010

Ticket to Ride Mrklin Edition is a very handsome game. The game board is gorgeous, showing a colourful antique map of Germany. The playing cards are of a high quality and each shows a unique picture of a model train car.

At the start of the game each player receives a supply of 45 model train counters (Märklin being the German equivalent of England's Hornby), three passenger counters, four tickets (must keep at least two) and four train cards. During the game, players will collect sets of train cards, connect routes, position then move passengers to collect merchandise and perhaps acquire further tickets. In addition to points scored during the game for routes and merchandise, players are rewarded at the end for connected destinations on the tickets they hold.
