A player will claim a route between two cities by playing matching train cards equal to the number of spaces in the route. Missing a specific color card? Try using the powerful Locomotive card that can be used as any color. |
While connecting cities, keep an eye on your routes! If you manage to have the longest continuous path on the map board, you will earn special points at the end of the game. |
Earn additional points by completing Destination Tickets. These cards will ask you to connect specific cities through whatever route necessary. However, be careful because any Destination Ticket left uncompleted will result in negative points! |

I have a weekly game night and this is our new favorite. Highly recommend, it's easy and enjoyable for kids as well as adults.
It's a great two-player game, but it can also be fun with up to five players. Ticket to Ride is simple to learn, yet allows for different gameplay styles. My mom can even play it and highly prefers it. :)
I particularly appreciate the high-quality printing and packaging, which make it perfect as a gift. Absolutely no regrets with this purchase!

Otra cosa buena es que los turnos son muy rápidos, por lo que no hay que esperar mucho entre turno y turno, aunque se juegue entre 5 jugadores.
También está padre que es de esos juegos donde todos pueden competir amistosamente o hacerse la guerra para bloquearse unos a otros, dependiendo del estilo de cada quien.
Los carritos de tren y el tablero están muy bien hechos y son bonitos. Tal vez me gustaría que las cartas fueran más grandes, porque son algo difíciles de barajar.
Esta edición no tiene túneles ni estaciones, como la Europea, pero de todos modos se juega bien.
