Overview
Days of Wonder sends players across early twentieth century North America in Ticket to Ride, collecting train cards and claiming routes to connect cities. This refreshed edition includes a large map board and miniature plastic trains for each player.
Simple rules and route building make it easy to teach while still rewarding planning. Players who want deep combat or long campaigns will find the turns light, and small trains are a choking risk around toddlers.
Who it's for
Made for game nights with kids and adults at the same table. Anyone seeking a long, complex strategy game, or a home with very young children nearby, should think it over.
Pros and cons
- Quick to learn rules
- Large map of North America
- Several ways to score points
- Plays a full group of five
- Small parts, choking hazard
- Less tension with only two players
- Cardboard board can wear over time
Performance notes
Turns revolve around drawing cards and claiming routes, so the game rewards spotting which connections others need. Hidden destination tickets and the longest path bonus add scoring choices beyond just claiming tracks.
