Product Description
October 2, 1900 was 28 years to the day that noted London eccentric, Phileas Fogg accepted and then won a $20,000 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 -- and the winner takes all competition. The objective: to see who 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 than enable them to claim railway routes connecting cities throughout North America. Includes a detailed board, game cards, help cards, rules, train miniatures and more.

Fun for the family November 22, 2008
J. Holmes (Seattle WA)
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
G. Burnett (Cincinnati, OH United States)
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

I love this game. My brother got me into it, then i bought it and got my boyfriend into it, and now i bought the game for my uncle to play. Everyone loves it! and its easy to learn
Fantastic Game! October 18, 2008
Craig Majaski (Royalton, MN United States)
Ticket to Ride is now one of my favorite board games. I won't go into detail about how to play the game as there are many other reviews here that do just that. I just had to comment that if you've been sitting on the fence trying to decide whether or not to purchase Ticket to Ride, just do it. Every single person that I've played with has really enjoyed the game. It's so easy to learn and the turns go quick. The game has a great combination of luck and strategy that appeals to gamers of all ages.
I have yet to order any expansions or other versions, but based on how much everyone loves this game I'm hoping to explore those options soon. If you want a unique game that's easy to learn, fun to play, and will keep you coming back time and time again, Ticket to Ride is your game. The only minor gripe I have is that it caps out at 5 players. There have been several instances where I had 6 or 7 people wanting to play.
