Ticket to ride a family favorite
My family loves the original ticket to ride and we love Halloween we had to buy this and try it. It was same concept as ticket to ride so it was easy. The quality was great just like the original. This game is a little shorter the board I think is smaller or has less places compared to the original. But a fun quick family game and something different. I hope they come up with more expansions.

A must get game for new board game players!
Fun game that teaches geography, math and strategy all while having fun with your young board game lovers in the making. It is worth the money and will last if you take care of the box and store the peaces. Fun, bright images get kid's interested and keep the their attention. Perfect introduction to the world of Ticket To Ride

Fun game for the whole family
This game is SOO much fun, for kids and adults. We’ve always enjoyed the adult version, bit since having kids haven’t played much. My 7yo picked this right up, and even my 5 yr old is starting to figure it out. She plays with an adult still but she’s starting to play on her own. What I like is kids that can’t read yet don’t have to be able to read the names of the cities, because they also have symbols the kids can match to see where their train routes are. It is challenging, and has the kids use critical thinking skills at an age appropriate level. The size of the board is perfect. The quality is top notch. I will say if you’ve never played before, it takes some time to read the rules and understand how to play (even as an adult) but I would say, just watch a YouTube video. Once you get it, it’s easy. Highly recommend!

Go to YouTube for directions
Fun game! The board, cards and packaging are all great, the pieces are very cheap, and the written directions are terrible- skip them and watch one of several 2 minute YouTube videos for rules and game play.

Quality All Across the Board
This game is excellent. Where to begin. Just picking up the box you can tell the quality. It is HEAVY! The components in this game are great. The construction of the board is one of the best I have ever seen. It is thick, has sturdy folds, large (easy for people to crowd around), and has some nice visuals which are important for children to use if they cannot read yet so trying to complete a ticket is able to be done by a younger child. The plastic train pieces are detailed, and the game comes with extras just in case (with kids you are bound to lose some.....possibly even to them playing with the nice pieces outside of using them for the game because they are that nice) and each color comes with its own zip-lock baggie. The card are thick, appealing, and high quality with a nice sheen, and the organizer in the box fits everything perfectly. The game play is simple yet competitive, where you need to strategize and possibly try to block your opponents ability to create a route to complete tickets (the objective of the game) if you can figure out their goals. This game can be played on so many levels, even as a quick game with adults (if you want to have more competition, you can play with a modified rule set which is awesome. You can basically use the "express" version rules to increase difficulty so the game can grow with the children's ability to provide years of entertainment!) Younger children can even play it and be competitive against adults as well because the game has an intuitive rule set. This game is a win on so many different levels that I wish other games were made and designed as well as this.

Great kids version of a classic game
Nice short and easy version of Ticket to Ride, ideal for kids, and short enough to ensure they don’t lose interest mid game.

El único pero es que no soporta 5 jugadore
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
