October 2, 1900. 28 years to the day that noted London eccentric, Phileas Fogg accepted and then won a L20,000 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 in a winner-takes-all competition. The objective: to see which of them 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 that enable them to claim railway routes connecting cities throughout North America.

This is one of the most fun board games I have ever played. The game takes minutes to teach and from there the strategies to win are endless. It's also one of the most original games I've ever played. Very different from all the other typical board games you might have played like monopoly, life, sorry, etc., The packaging and design is great. The board is sturdy and well decorated. You get tons of little plastic trains along w/ some extras in case you lose one or two along the way. I wish the cards could have been a little bigger but it's nothing that detracts from the overall game. The cards even have symbols on them so if you're colorblind you can tell the difference between cards. Nice touch. Overall, a great family game. A great game to play w/ friends who have never played "different" board games. My wife and I are addicted to this game. She loves playing it and that says a lot b/c she is not into board games that much. I highly recommend.

Game arrived on the day promised and we immediately took it with us on vacation (just the contents, not the box). We played it for the first time with our kids (20-26 yrs) and their friends and everyone really enjoyed it. They even asked to play it in the evening when they were too tired to go "out on the town". That impressed me. We're slowly learning the strategic elements of the game, and I am definitely sharpening my US geography (this is a huge plus for me).

The first in the Alan Moon Ticket To Ride series is a great game. TtR America is really a game where you are searching for the best path and trying to take it before your competitors do. In addition it requires you to find a path and on some level manage your resources (cards). When we first got this game my friends and I played it incessantly.
The one problem with this game is that a very strong strategy for winning also makes it a lot less fun to play. One of my friends who plays it always goes for the finish all the 6 length train strategy which considerably shortens the game and often does not give the other players enough time to complete their destinations before the game ends. We have found that if multiple people try and get the 6 length trains it balances the game out again.

This is a wonderfully designed game. Not only are all the components top notch (as are all Days of Wonder games) but the game mechanics are amazing as well.
This game has a rare combination of easy to learn rules and good depth of strategy. I have yet to have anyone who has played this game not enjoy it. It doesn't take long for them to become totally engrossed. There's educational value as well (geography).
This game is great for four to five players. For three players it's good but not quite as good.
For two to three players there is an expansion game for Switzerland. This game is great for two to three players.

Love this game! We've introduced so many people to it who have all loved it to. We are big Settlers of Catan players and its a big trend with out friends to play Settlers. And I feel Ticket to Ride is just as great and anyone who likes Settlers will like it. I bet it will be the next big hit with our friends!
