PeterPan Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Of course. Only the greatest game ever! Definitely buy it. :D BTW, there are different locales (Europe, etc.) and expansion kits. We have the Europe version. I assume they're all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamzanne Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I LOVE it. I have a group of friends that get together to play it regularly. We love both the US version and the European version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggieamy Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 This is a game that DH and I along with DD and all our friends love. We've played them all and really like the Europe version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I was considering getting this for my kids for Christmas, so I'm glad to see a thread on it. What ages would you say it's appropriate for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 It's currently on my Amazon wishlist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 Thanks for the info. I had never heard of it until today. It was a lightening deal on amazon. Too bad it was all sold out before I saw it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newlifemom Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 My brain was in a different place. When you asked about Ticket to Ride, I thought this. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellen Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 It looks like I'm in the minority as I don't care for it much. I feel that it is repetitive and dull. Most turns are just drawing cards. There is very little tension or need to think in the game. I do enjoy board games. Our most played are Pandemic, Dominion, Seven Wonders, and Through the Desert.

Bassoonaroo Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I don't like board games. For some reason I do like Ticket to Ride! :iagree: almost. Well, I like a few board games, but I absolutely love Ticket to Ride. We play it just about every Sunday. Yesterday, we played the Asia version (last Christmas' addition to our collection). This year, Santa better bring me the Africa board. We have the Europe (our first), America (bought it when we evacuated the fire and were stuck inside because of smoky air in the house we evacuated to), Germany (not my favorite but still fun), Switzerland (tons of fun), and Asia... It is also online... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you play using the destination cards, it can get very competitive and strategic. If you're just drawing cards, you're not playing it right. ;) However, you are more than entitled to dislike the game. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband and I play each other, but we also play online, and it can get testy! We have the USA and Europe expansion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Smith Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 It looks like I'm in the minority as I don't care for it much. I feel that it is repetitive and dull. Most turns are just drawing cards. There is very little tension or need to think in the game. I do enjoy board games. Our most played are Pandemic, Dominion, Seven Wonders, and Through the Desert. We own, have for years. Even with the destination cards we feel it is repetious and dull. We have a most played list like yours. I wonder what other sort of games people have tired when they say how fun and interesting Ticket to Ride is? (Asking in a polite manner even if it doesn't sound that way.) Right now are newest favorite game is Seven Wonders. It's quick, it's easy. It's not pure strategy (Like Agricoal) so even my youngest will play it.

melbotoast Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 We love Ticket to Ride! I especially like that it can be played with only 2 players, so DH and I can play it together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serenade Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 How do you all play Ticket to Ride? Are you very aggressive with blocking routes for others just to block them? If you do play this way, does anyone ever complete a destination? Do you all choose more destination cards after (and if) you achieve the ones you initially drew? Or do you just play for random points after completing your first two destinations? My oldest son is getting into the aggressive/competitive part of the game, which is tough on the little guy. I'm also wondering if it will continue to be fun to play if everyone is trying to disrupt other people's routes. I like to complete destinations, personally. I think I'd be frustrated if I could never complete a destination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6packofun Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Our kids love it, BUT they are fine with the iPad version so we're sticking with that! When I asked if there are any games they want for Christmas, they wanted Settlers of Catan rather than Ticket to Ride because the iPad version of Catan isn't great. LOL Gosh, technology. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostSurprise Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I like Ticket to Ride but it does fall on the easier/friendly side of family games. Its good for new gamers and gaming with kids 6+. Competition for routes is one of the more fun things about the game, otherwise its just a set collection game. Its good strategy to take extra cards, especially once you have a longer route built (often new routes are already covered or take few trains to complete). Most boards don't have too much competition until well into the game (near the end when things are full). If you find it a little too tight go for a larger board. Europe has a lot of space and can usually accommodate more routes. Also, as you get to know the game you know the bottlenecks on the board and you reserve your spaces early. Dh and I play the 2-player Scandinavian board while watching tv. Its tighter than most of the other boards but the limited strategy makes it easy to multi-task.
