Description
Ticket to Ride is a cross-country train adventure game in which players collect and play matching train cards to claim railway routes connecting cities through North America! The board shows a map of the US and Canada with preprinted routes between the various cities. These routes are in one of nine colours and from 1 to 6 sections long. The game eliminates the traditional scoring entirely. Instead players are competing to complete six different tickets. Ticket to Ride First Journey includes a coast-to-coast bonus card if you are able to connect a city from the east coast to the west coast. This is basically a more simplified version of the longest route mechanic from the original game. The game simplifies the original game where kids as young as five or six should be able to play the game without any troubles. If you have younger children though and you don¡¯t want to wait until they are old enough to play the original, Ticket to Ride First Journey is a fine option as it is considerably better than most games made for younger children.
