![]() There is an astounding selection of games in the Ticket to Ride series. We have the original Ticket to Ride game from Days of Wonder. What did we think of Ticket to Ride: Europe? The real trick is in the gameplay it is a simple game to learn, but a tough game to excel at. The rules aren’t too complicated to learn. The game is aimed at 8+, and this is definitely about right. There is an explanation of the set up for the game from the same channel available too. We aren’t here to give you full details on the game play, so for a more detailed explanation do check out this video: The outside of the board, coupled with the coloured counters, acts as a score board throughout the game. Points are scored for the routes you build, based on how many carriages they take, and for connecting specific cities as instructed on your ticket cards. To claim a route you can either add a station to the board, or add your coloured train carriages over the short route, to connect to make much longer routes. In order to build routes, you collect locomotive cards after having chosen your ticket cards for those routes. Routes are from various different cities in Europe, so give your kids a bit of a geographical drilling too! You need to connect the ticketing routes on the board which is a simple map of those routes. This is a wonderfully presented and educational game, with a really simple premise. Our first game is Ticket to Ride: Europe edition. We are lucky to be a member of the Blogger Board Games club, and have been asked to review three games for slightly older children. We have even been known to play some of them WITHOUT the kids… They are perfect for taking on holiday, and entertaining the kids after school. Now our kids are a little older we LOVE a good board game.
