Customer Reviews
This will have you hooked! Posted 18 October 2008
We recently started playing games with our friends and particularly enjoyed the ones with Spiel de Jahres honours. This one however was not a winner I believe, but its fantastic!
We have had hours of fun with this game and has left us argueing for hours about who ruined the other persons chances of victory. Its even left us playing on a Friday night when we really should be doing something less sad.
Im not really a train fan but the playability of this game is what makes it so good. Its easy to learn and is different every time you play.
If you play games like settlers, then this one is a definate to add to your collection!!!!
Board games for bored kids Posted 02 July 2008
This is a real hit with our family whose age range is 5 - 75. Once rules explained no reading apart from matching place names on board to those on your ticket, max hour to play and unlike monopoly you don't know who has won until the final count up so younger players don't get disheartened half way through. Some play it strategically but our five year old won the first couple of times he played which was refreshing but there is enough of a challenge for older players to want to keep playing to improve their tactics. It is addictive.
All aboard the Orient Express! Posted 14 April 2008
This is the second Ticket to Ride game, and just as good (if not better) than the original. We switch from North America to Europe just before the Great War. The basic rules remain the same but there are new concepts and ideas that add to the game's complexity and fun.
Now there are tunnels to be built under mountains and ferries to be taken across water. The routes have been split into long and short so you can plan your game better, and if you are blocked entering a city, then you can always get around this by building a station there.
For those already hooked on the initial Ticket to Ride game, this is the perfect follow-on. For those new to the concept, you'll soon be addicted to this fiendishly-competitive and skilful game.
Still a favourite after a year Posted 17 November 2007
Others have described this game well. I would simply add that we have played this with both family and friends and it has proved a reliable hit that people have been keen to replay, and in at least one case, buy for themselves. We got it last Xmas and it is still probably our favourite game.
One good feature (among many) is that although you know how you are doing in terms of your objective, you cannot be sure exactly how the other players are faring. So you don't know until the final scoring who has won, which keeps interest going for all players throughout the game.
The game has got a good quality feel to it and is satisfying and enjoyable to play.
Brilliant game Posted 28 February 2007
A brilliant game! It is best played with 3 or 4 players although it can be played with 2 or 5. The names of the countries on the European version (don't know about other versions) are the names of those places in 1901 which can sometimes make things confusing but once you learn it is OK. It is quite quick to learn the game becase the rules, although fairly long, are simple.
On the whole it is down to luck of which routes you get (e.g: Paris to Edinburgh) and how well those tie in with the long route or if any other players have similar routes. It is also luck as to which carriage colours you pick up in order to complete the route. The set is very durable and well made and good value for money for the high play value that can be gained from it. An excellent buy. 5 out of 5!
