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! PLAY AROUND YOUR BUSY DAY – Set up a game in async mode and play a game across multiple days. SINGLE-PLAYER MODE DRIVEN BY EXPERT AIs – Powered by an innovative adaptive AI system, single-player mode offers a challenge for new and experienced players alike. AN IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE – Every moment has been brought to life with beautiful graphics that will immerse you in the adventure. STRATEGIC GAMEPLAY – Every game presents fresh challenges, and it’s your mission to work out the most efficient solutions. Collect points by completing tickets, linking destinations and building the longest route.

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.

They fixed it right!!!

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!

Like the game but still needs improvement

Overall, I like this game, but it still needs improvements. Note: I was an avid player of the previous version and I primarily played it on my iPad. Likes: — I like that I know how many cards are available in each pile. — I like the card shuffling animation Improvement suggestions: — Need to make maps like Nordic Countries to switch and auto expand in portrait position. I can move my iPad from landscape/horizontal position to portrait/vertical position. This feature would make these maps easier to see. Or just make them in portrait/vertical position like the old game did. — Overall, I found the maps in the old game easier to see. I did not always have to manually expand them to see them better. — Need to add points ranking system so players can see how we do against other players not just the person(s) we immediately played against. — Need to add filter system so we can determine what kind of opponent’s we want to play against. May want to compete only against opponents closest to our ranking. And may want to add opponents to a Friend pool or an Ignore pool. This was available in old game. — I find the AI for games against the computer as predictable as the old game. Instead of drawing only 2 cards, it draws 3 and never draws any more. One of the selling points of this game is that the AI was going to use strategies of the best players. — Could use more character types. — Would like the routes highlighted when I click on my destination card. It would make these routes easier to see. The pushpins are hard to see on an iPad. This is all I can think of right now.

FRUSTRATED!!

Let me start by saying I NEVER do negative reviews!! I leave those up to my husband! AND… I LOVE Ticket To Ride… the board game, as well as, the original app!! For years, the app has been a fun way for us to connect and engage with our adult children, whether across state and country or in the same room… even my husband who doesn’t usually play games with us… even my 80+ year old father-in-law enjoyed it!! It was so simple to follow, especially after playing the board game!! But playing the new app tonight for the first time, left us all incredibly frustrated! That was probably the worst gaming experience I’ve ever had… and we play a LOT of games! I was so disappointed while I was playing that I was actually fighting back angry tears! Not only did we run into problems trying to use the old app… that we paid a considerable amount for… but then all decided to spend even more on the new app… just to all end up so frustrated by all the changes!! I mean, to begin with, this should have been a free upgrade to those of us who already had the old one, but we all overlooked that and agreed we just needed to get over it… we figured what’s another $5, right?!! Ugh! I can’t even put into words right now!! I used to own a toy store and sold the board game… I have personally recommended the old app to no less than 20 people… I’ve probably paid for 10 of those just so I could play with them, but I wouldn’t recommend this new one to anyone! I could barely even read it on my phone screen because the print was so small… I couldn’t tell the difference in a track verses where someone had laid down train cars… the colors all blended together so bad that I couldn’t even make out my destination markers!! I’m begging you to keep working on improvements and updates!! PLEASE!!! 😫😖
