Our family really like this children’s version. It’s something both the adults and children under 8 can enjoy. Even though the kids might not be able to read the names of the cities, they can look at the pictures of the cities and know where their ticket takes them. This game is also quick to play, so that’s a plus.

Ticket to Ride is a fantastic board game that strikes a perfect balance between strategy and accessibility. Players build train routes across a beautifully designed map, collecting colored cards to claim tracks and complete destination tickets. The rules are simple, making it ideal for newcomers and not only. While luck with card draws can influence outcomes, smart route management often prevails. It’s a must-have for family game nights or casual gatherings, offering replayability and fun for 2-5 players. Highly recommended!

Great introduction for kids to more complex board games.
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2025
Style: First JourneyVerified Purchase
This was a great introduction into more 'adult' board games for my nephews who are in 2nd grade. Prior to this they were playing really simple games like "Hoot Owl Hoot!" and "Race to the Treasure!" or The first round we had to play open faced to kind of teach them the game, but after that, they took to it and loved it! Me and my wife actually love it too as a simple alternative to the regular TTR and TTR Legacy that we both love.

Great value for money. Age range 6 and older can play. Very colourful board and pieces. The board is smaller than the standard Ticket to Ride games. Directions are similar as you build routes along routes across the board. There is no points in scoring in this game. We played it twice before we completely understood all the playing directions we can teach it to others. We like you use routes going both directions and if you can't make a route you throw it out and draw another one. We aren't sure how successful it will be for four people to play and achieve the needed six routes to win. Will update after we game night. Overall it was a fun game and we look forward to sharing it with friends.

Muy bueno, aún más sencillo para introducir a gente o partidas rápidas. Me encantó que no hay que sacar cuentas de ningún tipo y cómo variaron la ruta más larga por el "costa a costa". Logra tener involucrados al mismo tiempo niños y adultos de toda edad.

Lo dicho, el TTR original soporta 2-5 jugadores, este solo 2-4, pero lo resolví sencillamente con unas reglas caseras
