Ticket to Ride, a captivating game

In this game, immerse yourself in the golden age of the railway. Conquer the railroad and try to take control of the American rail network by connecting as many cities as possible.

At the beginning of the game, each player must determine their objectives to be achieved. The objectives represent a link between two cities that the player must establish if he does not want to be penalized. These objectives are very important for the course of the game, because if a player manages to complete it, they will earn bonus points. Otherwise, he will be given a penalty and will lose points. Each turn, players have the choice between 3 actions: draw objectives, collect wagon cards, spend the cards to control the railway lines.

A player takes control of a line using cards of the same color as the lane. Once controlled, the line belongs to the player and no participant can take control of it. At the end of the game, a bonus of 10 points is given to the player who has the largest railway line.

Ticket to Ride, a strategic and essential game

To defeat your opponents, you'll need to know how to use your cards at the right time and keep objectives within your reach. Take control of the railway tracks and block the other participants in their desire to conquer.

The game has won important gaming awards such as the Golden Ace in 2005 and the Spiel des Jahres in 2004. Thanks to accessible mechanics, quickly explained rules and the dreamy and poetic world of the railway in the 19th century, the game has become a must-have in game libraries.
