Ticket to Ride Screen Shots

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

Ticket to Ride 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 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 Thu, 26 Nov 2009

It's Sunday afternoon, and we have managed to all sit around the table together and play the Ticket to Ride board game. This beautiful looking strategy board game has all the ingredients to keep both Mum, Dad and our eight, ten and twelve year olds entertained.

Ticket to Ride is a cross-country train adventure board game, in which players compete to connect different cities by laying claim to railway routes on a map. No general or geographical knowledge is required to take part, instead it's a strategy game, so timing and tactics are important.
