The game is great to play with the family of all ages. You can use tactics with the older members and play for the fun of it with the younger ones. In my experience it manages to keep the attention of the younger ones til the end. What else could you ask for out of a board game. Recommended 🙂
Brought this for our Daughter-in-law as part of her Christmas present. She loved it.
I gave it to my granddaughter so I don’t know how she has coped with it.
Bought for my fiancee because she loves Halloween on the whole. It’s straightforward to understand rules wise. Brightly coloured which will appeal to alot of people. If competitive, may cause arguments as it is so easy to reach targets.
Junior Edition. Love everything about this game. Simple gameplay makes it easy for 6 year old to learn, but fun enough for adults to play with kids. On an educational side there’s an element of exploring map of Europe, encouraging to read names. Reading is not required though, as pictures are used to identify cities as well as names. Also, game requires some logical thinking to come up with different connections, just enough to be a little challenging while entertaining at the same time. As a bonus, plastic trains are this toy element in game that kids really enjoy.
This game can be played in 20 minutes or less, which makes it perfect for when you are on a time limit. The rules are simple and easy to comprehend.
This was great fun for all the family and easy to lea
I bought this for my niece and nephew and sister and brother-in-law for Christmas, and it was a big hit. The game is great fun. And the games are also quite short compared to some of the Ticket for Ride games.
My girls aged 8 and 7 both enjoyed this. Easy to pick up and a little strategic. I think we could maybe cope with the grown up version in a year.
Wonderful game, got it for my 5 year old nephew and now he always wants to play. And it gives you the option to remove the East to West cards from play to make it simpler for beginners. Would highly recommend!
Thoroughly enjoyed paying TTR Europe with other adults this Christmas. This was a good intro for our 8yo niece.
Very simple and easy to play, family game.
My daughter has learning issues and funs this game fun to play. For serious fun play with 2 people and see the strategy unfold.
This is a travel version of the popular board game. It is smaller that the regular game and the tickets contain almost no writing. The game is of very good quality and the travel version is compact enough (especially if you decide to take it out of the box). I highly recommend it to those who love the original version. Guaranteed family fun at the beach or during a picnic.
My family just loves this game. It is an ideal introduction to the ‘Ticket to Ride’ series.
We’ve now moved on to the more difficult games in the series, but this is ideal if you want a game that lasts about 30-45 mins, that requires strategic thinking to block your opponents and maximise your points by linking routes.
Bought this a few months ago after being introduced to Ticket to Ride (Europe). In general, TTR has to be the best board game there is. But this version blew us away. We’ve bought three other TTR versions since; this one, however, is still the firm favourite in my household. We originally got it just for the UK map, but both the UK and the Pennsylvania versions are so much fun! At first, the new mechanics seem daunting. After the first play-through of both though, we found them to be awesome editions. Honestly, if you love any of the base games of TTR & only ever get just one expansion — make it this one!

Great for the whole family. My kids are seven and five. We bought this for our five year old son who loves board games since getting Monopoly Junior. He got the general gist of the game fairly quickly but is now starting to understand the strategy of blocking other players – so I would say this game has wide appeal and longevity. Really enjoyable.
We haven’t even got onto the East West tickets yet so more to come! Highly recommended.
Ticket to london – the game is fun and amazing, playing with 8 year old and 11 year old. It took us a bit to learn the game but within few minutes it was smoothly going! The only downside i can think of is the look. Outdated box and the busses are cheap plastic, which put me as an adult off. However, the game play is top and makes up for the quality of make. Since we received it, we have played it twice every day!
It’s a mix of labyrinth and monopoly- you get a target route (or two), which you need to claim with your buses – collecting points on your way.
I will look into buying the original too!
Not as big as the Europe one but me and my daughter can squeeze a couple of games in on a Wednesday when she comes for tea. It’s a fun game for all ages. I gave my son this game along with Europe more expensive one as I didn’t know how to play. He showed us and we found it was so much fun. I ended up buying another one for us and will be buying the Europe one again. Son is an adult and plays with his friends *when not in lockdown) and they all really enjoy it. Great game. Kids would easily get this smaller one and have fun.
It was very easy to re-learn the rules again and since then we played it every day in the past week.
I would recommend this game to others too!
Be warned – this is an expansion game and you must purchase the base game – Ticket to Ride Europe or the original Ticket to Ride first. I try to buy a new family game each Christmas and had seen Ticket to Ride in Hamleys and read the reviews on Amazon. I thought that the game might require an interest in rail travel but it no more needs an interest in rail travel than Monopoly needs an interest in property development. Like Monopoly, you get points by collecting cards on each turn which allow you to capture train routes across Europe with bonus points for those with the longest route or those between specific destinations. The game kept our family of 7 involved for a 2-3h but the game doesn’t involve any “big laughs” in the way that games like Articulate do.
Be warned that of the many versions, most are extensions and that you have to purchase one of the base games first – of which this is one.
Overall, a great alternative to Monopoly if you don’t like the money aspect of that game, but expensive for what it is
If you are not already familiar with Ticket to Ride for adults (fab series of games & map expansions) the general idea of the junior version is to complete 6 different train journeys first. You have 2 tickets (train journeys) at a time & you collect train carriages in different colours to complete parts of your overall journey. You may need two blue train carriages to complete one section & 1 yellow train carriage to complete a second section of the journey. Sections are completed individually & when a full journey is complete you get a new ticket.
It is rated 6+ & if your child has any game playing experience I’d say this is accurate but you will know your own child. It does require some patience & forward planning but is a great game that I highly recommend.
It is also a nice game for adults to play with their children without being bored to death as is the case with some kids games!
The other aspect of the expansion is the warehouse & depot part. This is an optional extra which you could use. It isn’t needed to play the game, even with the Big Cities routes. In the Warehouse & Depot you place a resource card from the top of the deck on your warehouse (as does everyone else on their turn). It then becomes a game of chicken/waiting game to steal the warehouse from yourself or someone else and stack a bunch of extra resource cards into your hand. If you time it right you can dominate the game by picking up 10 cards or so… You get the chance to steal these cards by completing a route to one of the Depots which are placed on the board by each player. (not sure if that is clear, but it does change the game to make it overpowered in my opinion)
Summary, if you like Ticket to Ride Europe you’ll love this expansion. 🙂
*The 1910 Rules: Played as the standard Ticket to Ride, but using only the 1910 Destination Tickets, and GlobeTrotter Bonus card.
*The Big Cities Rules: Played with only the newly identified 35 “Big City” Destination Tickets (15 Standard Tickets, 19 1910 Tickets, and 1 Mystery Train Ticket).
*The Mega Game: featuring all of the game’s Destination Tickets and Bonus Cards (30 Standard Tickets, 35 1910 Tickets, 4 Mystery Train Tickets, and both Bonus cards).
If I’d ever had any reservations about the original game, it was that the diminutive cards where a little difficult to handle. The expansion pack uses ‘normal sized’ (playing card sized) cards. There is no further room for improvement. Brilliant!
On a slightly different note, if you like the USA Ticket to Ride, but find there’s too little challenge when playing a two or three player game, buy the Nordic version. Designed for a maximum of three players, and based in Scandinavia, the cards and board are beautifully designed with a snowy, ‘wintry’, feel making it a perfect buy for Christmas! And the cards are all full-sized too. Further brilliance!
Playing the 2-4 version of Ticket to Ride Asia with two people we didn’t have the same lack of *reasonable* alternative routes when the most logical route was blocked. Otherwise it was interesting because of a lack of knowledge of the exact relative location of many of the destinations – something that was particularly difficult for the person reading the board upside down (which tends always to me for some reason). I lost the first game having won it because one of my routes went from the wrong Russian city starting with K ….
In time I suspect the number of long routes will be too low as people will be aware that long routes go from A to B and C to D etc. and as these are worth around twice the value of the more numerous shorter routes, this will be a problem.
I can never raise the number of players to try out the team version. The players would I suspect anyway need to play several normal Ticket to Ride games before taking that on.
Nor have I played the team version’s map with two people although I don’t see why that shouldn’t work.
