Product Description
October 2, 1900. 28 years to the day that noted London eccentric, Phileas Fogg accepted and then won a L20,000 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. Included in this popular game made by Days of Wonder is a detailed board, game cards, help cards, rules, train miniatures, and more!

The Train Game December 3, 2008
A fun game for mostly all ages. The only negative is that only 5 can play. Goes quickly once you know how to play, and the learning time is only a few rounds.
 Fun for Everyone December 2, 2008
I am very happy with Ticket to Ride. I play it with my friends (I'm 31) and with my children (the youngest is 5). My kids love it! We play differently than in the official rules and Daddy helps them decide what to do (and I don't always win). A lot of fun for everyone!
Fun for the family November 22, 2008
In General
Originally, the retail price and other reviews of the ease of the game kept me from purchasing this. I thought I might get bored of it easy. However, Amazon has a great price and with free shipping now less made this worth trying. We've played this game almost every day since we've bought it. The non complicated rules make this game fun for the whole family. Our 6 year old plays right along with us.
About the USA version
We bought the USA version as it would a good familiarity of US geography for our 6 year old. Granted it doesn't list the states and the cities are limited, it does give her a good idea of how our country is situated, and the generalization of the cities that are on the map. The states are all lined out as well.
We also bought this one because it is a 5 player version. Some are made to suit more and less players. This one has a more basic rule set as well. Another factor in getting our less than the suggested age for this game daughter into it.
In the end, we love it.
Easy to learn, fun for a long time November 19, 2008
The instructions are simple and the rules are few, but the game is still challenging and fun even after it has been played over and over. I've owned "Ticket to Ride" for more than a year, and while some of its addictive qualities have dissipated, it hasn't lost its luster. It quickly became--and has remained--my family's favorite game (at the expense of "Settlers of Catan," another great game). I recommend also getting the Ticket to Ride expansion pack. It includes more destinations (and larger cards), which opens up the game considerably, especially with more players.
Ticket to RIde....FUN FOR ALL! November 9, 2008
I recently received this game for friends and family to play. I've read a lot of reviews about the game. I liked that the gameplay is quick to learn. Rules can be explained in five minutes. EVERYONE loved the game. We played it with couples and the girls REALLY loved it which is a bonus. THis is a great gateway game. Your girlfriend will love playing it, your wife will love playing it
