It’s twice as muchTicket to Ride on is more expensive than playing it on your iOS or Android device, even though the experience is similar. It’s twice as much as you’d pay for the Xbox 360 version, which is almost exactly the same game. If you’re playing for Achievements rather than the experience that’s really what's different than you can get on a variety of other devices at a lower cost of admission. If you’ve ever played the game anywhere else, this version probably isn’t going to be much different. Of course, if you have played it anywhere else, you’ll realize that there’s nothing really wrong with that. It’s become a classic board game for that very reason. If you haven’t yet been fortunate enough to play Ticket to Ride, it’s a puzzle game where you’re building a railroad network on a map. You draw colored cards, and race your fellow players to collect enough colors to claim lines connecting the cities. Whoever lays down the most track while also creating certain lines wins the game. It’s not an overly complex game but it is fun and so addictive. It’s easy to pick u and play, and it’s challenging enough that you won’t get bored by it if you’re playing solo. The only reason not to get Ticket to Ride on the Xbox One is if you’ve played it before now.

Great game! Very beautifully implemented. Always love playing. What I love most of all is that I can win this game and the AI doesn't cheatGreat game! Very beautifully implemented. Always love playing. What I love most of all is that I can win this game and the AI doesn't cheat like in other board games. Thanks a big load to the Dev team for making this beautiful game. Love it! :)

It's a decent little grab-bag styled game, it's apparently based off of a classic board game which I can imagine was more fun as a board game.It's a decent little grab-bag styled game, it's apparently based off of a classic board game which I can imagine was more fun as a board game. On the computer it has multiple problems, mainly the online matchmaking (or lack thereof). With the AI not having a lot of intelligence, you'd rather play against other people, but it can be difficult without a dedicated server/lobby that actually works well. Playing it offline against AI gets stale very fast, you won't get a lot of enjoyment out of it unless you loved the board game as a kid (I never even knew about it, not sure how popular it was).The idea behind it is pretty cool though, but perhaps a little too simple. There's barely any strategy because picking cards becomes luck of the draw, so if you get lucky you get multiples of the same color card (which is good), if not, you end up with tons of different colors and can't go anywhere from there. I think the main reason why this game gets dull fast is solely the fact that it's too simple. There needs to be more variables to bring in more strategy and technique, like I imagine a strategic board game should have.It's not bad, but it's not amazing either, I wouldn't expect to get more than a couple hours of enjoyment before you get very bored. First time I played it I was bored after like 30 minutes. Maybe it's just not for me but I fail to find any other pros about this game. If there were a large online community, better matchmaking, and a bit more complexity, only then would I possibly recommend this game. But those are yet to be established, so currently I do not recommend Ticket to Ride unless you're itching to play your childhood board game.

The great thing about Ticket to Ride is that the rules are very simple and the interactive tutorial included with this PC version will mean that within 5 minutes even complete novices will know what they are doing.Its obviously not quite as fun as playing the real thing with friends and family but this very faithful adaptation (which can be played in about half the time of the actual board game) is still an enjoyable way to spend your time and, thanks to Steam, its easy to find people online to play with.If you're a fan of tabletop games this come highly recommended.

The board game hasTicket to Ride is an adaptation of a popular board game, with the ability to play against AI, or local or online opponents. The board game has a pretty simple rule set that's easy to learn, and it has some good strategic complexity. I haven't been playing it for all that long, but I've definitely enjoyed what I've played so far.I found the voice acting obnoxious and turned it off immediately. The music grates after a little while, but you can turn that off too. The game controls pretty well and shows a lot of useful information on screen. The menus are a bit clunky, and this actually makes it a little difficult to get in to the online game lobby.But really, what matters is the gameplay, and Ticket to Ride has great gameplay. I had fun playing against AI and against humans, and there's tons of replay value. This game will definitely be worth it for board game enthusiasts at full price. I'd still recommend it to anyone that can appreciate a strategic, turn-based game. As for the DLC, it allows you to play on different maps, sometimes with different rules. If you like the base game, the expansions will add quite a bit.
