The original Ticket to Ride was quickly followed by its European counterpart. The rules are usually straightforward, gameplay is relatively slick and component quality is usually excellent.

Unfortunately, that term comes with some gaming snobbery and from the outset I will nail my colours to the mast and say “I like gateway games”. Ticket to Ride is considered by many to be a gateway game. You can pick up a copy in some supermarkets or book stores, and this increased exposure is good. Ticket to Ride, Catan and Carcassonne are games that are in the public consciousness. Also, it is offering hundreds of hours of new fun if you hop aboard for a whole new ride!

It harks back to a previous era where word of mouth and printed bulletins were a way to advertise a new show, rather than social media and directed text messaging.ġ910 brings to mind the film “The Greatest Showman”.

Open your minds and be amazed at the sights you’ll see!”
