Ticket to Ride: The Board Game 4+

I previously reviewed this at 2 stars when it first came out. From color issues, to screen display, to animation scenes, to periodic crashing… it needed a lot of improvement. The app just did not seem refined. However, I have given it a try again recently, and they have done a great job addressing nearly all the issues. I am seriously happy and impressed. Colors are a lot better to look at, they have added black outline to the edges of train tracks, and boards giving the app a more appealing look and the animation of zooming in and out has gone away which is kind of nice. My only critique would be I wish I could play with the expansions when playing with friends who don’t have the expansion. I think it would be an awesome way to advertise the new boards and get more people interested in purchasing the expansions. But all in all, the developers are doing a great job fixing the bugs and issues and I am looking forward to playing TTR more now!

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.

I want to like this version of the game. It does seem to have potential (and for that reason I purchase the early bird everything package as a pledge of support), however the single biggest things that make it unplayable to me currently are: 1. Color scheme is VERY difficult to look at it’s like listening to a stereo system that has way too much treble, you might be able to enjoy a couple songs but then listening fatigue rapidly sets in, 2. The animations are far too lengthy and prevent the rapid game play experience many of us have expressed craving (it should be possible to play a skilled human opponent in about 10-15 minutes tops, otherwise I’ll just settle into the original physical board game with my partner instead, 3. The multiplayer system feels like a grab of private data and the system doesn’t even work well and is not resilient in the face of disruptions where the bugs make it impossible to resume. Please focus on these issues, in that order. The first two feel like relatively straight forward low hanging fruit and the third is simply critical. Looking forward to seeing the potential realized and the long time fans and monetary contributors’ needs respected. Thank you and good luck.
