Ticket to Ride: The Board Game 4+

Started smoothly….

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

Hard to look at, hoping for an accessible update

I downloaded this app as a replacement for another Ticket to Ride app that closed its servers today. I enjoyed that app because the colors were not super saturated and were easy to look at. This app is very hard for me to play and results in a migraine after playing just one game.
I understand that bright colors and animations can keep some players attention but I would suggest that the developers add an accessibility switch in the settings if they are not going to change the regular game. Toggling this switch would lower the saturation of the cards and the board and disable the animations on the board. I would also have it disable the round animations when a route is complete, and limit the change in average value of the screen when train cars are being placed. I think most players understand which routes are playable with the cards they have and do not need the entire screen to darken except for the routes they can play. I am interested in purchasing and playing all of the map expansions, however it seems like a bad investment unless the app is changed to make it possible for me to play. I would be happy to provide more specific feedback to the developers if it is desired.

Such a disappointment

I was so excited for the new version of this game to come out, because the old version stopped working on my phone. The new version is such a disappointment. First of all let’s start with the fact that I have been kicked out of games multiple times and unable to rejoin. When I attempt to rejoin all I see is the map of the US. I was playing a game, and my sister was one of the other players, after multiple attempts to rejoin the game, I finally officially quit the game. The game continued waiting, after I quit, for me to take my turn. Then there are the many times that the game has just frozen.

Now let’s talk about the game itself. Why isn’t there a clock? There is a time limit on the game, but no clock to tell players how much time is left in each players time. This is an important aspect of the game. Then there is the board. You can barely tell when someone places trains down, if they place a train down of the same color as the line. It makes it very confusing and difficult at times.

Overall this version of the game is awful and I’m not sure why anyone would want to buy it until the bugs have been worked out. Honestly there was nothing’s wrong with the old version, so I’m not sure why the need for a new one except to make more money.
