    The classic train route game for two to five, refreshed with new art and pieces, 30 to 60 minutes. A family game a teen can teach to anyone over the holidays. Tenser with a full table.

  • Gifts for tweens

    The classic train route game for two to five players, about 30 to 60 minutes. A real board game a tween can learn and then teach adults over the holidays. Two-player games are less tense.

What it is

The classic route-building train game for two to five players, updated with refreshed art and components. Games run 30 to 60 minutes.

The base Ticket to Ride board game, a route-building game set on a railway map of North America. Players collect sets of coloured train cards and spend them to place plastic trains along routes, trying to link the city pairs on their secret destination tickets. It is quick to teach and a game takes under an hour. Many map expansions are sold separately.
