Play the ultimate digital version of the multi-award-winning modern classic board game Ticket to Ride! Journey across various countries, connecting their vibrant cities and exploring their unique gameplay mechanics and bonuses on the way. Ticket to Ride offers a variety of game modes to suit you. Want to get competitive? Head online to challenge other players around the world and climb the leaderboards, or play with friends further afield in a private game. Got a packed schedule? Set up or join an asynchronous game and play across multiple days – we’ll notify you when it is your turn, so you can go at your own pace. Test out new strategies or keep it casual in single-player mode against state-of-the-art AI opponents. You can even make a game night of it with friends and family in couch play! Get to know a cast of unforgettable characters, each bringing their own tales to the table. Add new locomotives and carriages to your fleet with every expansion, and cement your name in railway history on the leaderboard! Become a railway legend in the iconic, fan-favourite modern classic! HOW TO PLAY TICKET TO RIDE®: Players are dealt a number of tickets and must pick a certain number to keep (depending on the map). Players are also dealt four train cards of various colours. This number can also vary depending on the map you’re playing on, but don’t worry – the AI takes care of this! Each turn, players can draw two train cards from the face-up pile, draw two train cards from the face-down pile, draw another ticket to complete, or use their train cards to claim a route! A claimed route is shown by placing train pieces along the route. When a player has three or fewer train pieces left, the last round starts. Whoever has the most points at the end of the game is the winner! FEATURES A TRULY SOCIAL TAKE ON MULTIPLAYER – Play online with friends or enjoy a seamless matchmaking experience when you challenge players from around the world. Alternatively, take on your friend sitting right next to you in couch play – use the free Ticket to Ride Companion App to really boost your couch gaming session!

Writing to say that I was going to give it three out of five stars as an improved score from my first rating when it opened up. I changed my rating to a four star due to the significant improvements in the development of this game. With that said, I am writing the review now because my game shows that I have two games out there that are just spinning as if I was the only player out there. I was in the midst of playing a four person online game and only my name was on the screen INI like it does when you’re seeing who gets to go first. Hopefully this is going to be fixed soon because I am now enjoying the game again. I am still having difficulty with the colors on the screen and have a hard time seeing where trains are put down on the colored tracks. It would be nice if the tracks were pastel with the trains being brighter, perhaps? The light wave that goes through the trains makes it even harder to distinguish so if I’m glancing over the board and a wave was going over it sometimes I have thought that the train wasn’t there and then when I look back it is, I am not sure if that is necessary and it does not enhance the game. I am happy to be able to play competitively against other people again and to see the European board up.

I’m a long time fan of the board game and own almost every expansion. I wanted so bad to get it for tablet, but held off due to all the reviews saying the graphics were painful and the turn prompter infuriating. Well, I finally downloaded this based on the latest reviews saying all that was fixed, and I’m here to confirm it’s true! This app is now everything a board game port should be — faithful to the original in appearance and style, with added QOL features that only a digital version can provide. The game looks beautiful, plays fast and flawlessly, and allows the player to choose the map, the ruleset, the route set, even the look of your train pieces! I was overjoyed to find my favorite maps already available, including Nordic, India, and Europe (all card sets). Even the original U.S. map, which was ugly as sin in the board game, is alive and pretty here. Most of all, the app absolutely delivers the board game experience, with frosting on top 😊 And that includes single player. It is genuinely heartwarming to see a developer paying such serious attention to prior complaints and making everything right. Boy, did they. If you love Ticket to Ride, this app has it all. Hesitate to download no more!

This app went from the most disappointing launch I’ve ever experienced for gameplay to a real pleasure now. I’ve been playing at my regular pace and enjoy the new leader boards, the gameplay, the visibility, and all the other things I have been complaining about that have now been fixed. I like fast play and I appreciate blitz mode with the functional countdown timer clock. If you were one of the early adopters and were highly disappointed, I would suggest trying the game again. I would have given this game negative stars if it were possible at launch. For me, I can put up with a few gameplay glitches or some additions that get bugs worked out of a new release. But when this game was first launched, the colors were so terrible, actually the whole graphics scheme was awful, that it made the game incredibly painful to play. and the game was not pleasant to navigate on iPad. There had been touchscreen issues, zooming issues many other broken things. The game developer has worked to answer all of the objections. Thank you! thank you!

Let me start by saying how much that both myself and my fiancé love this game. I previously owned the other one 2 years ago but that was discontinued. Recently we downloaded this version and bought the expansion packs that were available . We normally play against each other and really enjoy this as kinda “quiet time “ with one another enjoying each others company . These past two days when playing against one another the game has frozen and booted me from the game. I had originally thought that it may be a WiFi issue so I disconnected WiFi and proceeded to go back to the game utilizing the “my games” tab. That seemed to temporarily fix it however it happened again when not on WiFi. The issue that prompted me to write this was that after an additional hour of play my fiancé had the same issue. Any ideas why this happened? At the very least I felt that I should alert you in case that it’s an ongoing issue. I would also like to see additional expansion other than the two that I have purchased. Thank you,Allen Hill
