Product Description:

A Ticket to Ride “express”, this fast-as-a-bullet-train version takes a maximum of 15 minutes to play! Gameplay is the same as the original Ticket to Ride, only trimmed down for speed. Players now have just 17 trains (which are busses in this version), and the board is much smaller as well. One slight difference is that this version has numbered bus routes - if you connect all routes with the same number, you gain bonus points at the end of the game. An excellent game for those who have little time to spare. I’ve also noticed this is an easier version to play with children or those who are new to the game. Up to four players can participate, but this version does make an especially good 2-player game. Game includes game board, 68 busses, 44 transportation (train) cards, 20 ticket cards, 4 scoring markers, and instructions for play. ~ Janine

The elegantly simple gameplay of this stand-alone version of Ticket to Ride is ideal for both beginners and seasoned players.

Category Description for Ticket to Ride:

This game has become one of our family favorites. 2 to 5 players draw tickets to connect rail routes between major cities and attempt to complete them in the most direct route possible. Routes are built in sections of 1 to 6 railcars based on playing cards of the designated color for the section. Longer routes and longer sections score more points than shorter ones. Since routes can have sections that overlap, competition for certain segments adds to the excitement. Strategy is not too complicated, so that younger players are not at a disadvantage. Games take from 45 to 75 minutes, depending on the number of players. The basic game is based on North American geography, while TTR Europe has slightly different rules and covers Europe and eastern Asia. TTR USA 1910 is an expansion that allows 3 more variations of the basic TTR game. Ticket to Ride Expansions (3-AD) (ages 8+) Across the exotic lands of Asia, from Africa, to Germany, and all the way to the Northern face of Europe, the rumble of locomotives can be heard around the world. Explore wildly different locations and circumstances around the globe as you expand your train lines in these new Ticket to Ride editions. The gameplay is similar to the original Ticket to Ride, but each map has its own challenges to overcome, including mountains, valleys, ferries, rough terrain, tolls, and other unique regional challenges. Despite the varying climates, treacherous landscapes, and locational nuances, your goal is the same. Create the best route, collect the most valuable tickets, and connect cities to beat your competition! Games listed as Expansions require Ticket to Ride or Ticket to Ride Europe to play. Other editions are stand-alone and require no other Ticket to Ride games to play. Games last roughly 30-60 minutes.Happy travels!

It's a quick play, so you don't have to carve out a chunk of time to play. Too, it gives other players a chance to win in subsequent rounds.

We ordered both large and small tins of different colors and styles. They were a hit--not only with our children, but with ourselves. <br /><br />Our children like to use these putties while listening to audio books, homeschool lessons, or just in the car. Additionally, they help our easily distracted children stay on focus.<br /><br />We specifically bought the Candy Cane hypercolor putty because we thought our child would enjoy both the color and how it changed as heat was applied.

Ticket to Ride London
This is another of the short versions of ticket to ride. I plays quickly but trying to complete a district is not easy. That is why I gave it 4 stars. There are few double routes so blocking is easy and agravating. One draw back as with most Ticket to Ride games the cards are small and hard to shuffel.
