Ticket To Ride - Europe
From the Publisher...
From the craggy hillsides of Edinburgh to the sunlit docks of Constantinople, from the dusty alleys of Pamplona to a windswept station in Berlin, Ticket to Ride Europe takes you on a new train adventure through the great cities of turn-of-the-century Europe.
Will you risk a trip through the dark tunnels of Switzerland? Venture aboard a ferry on the Black Sea? Or erect lavish train stations in the great capitals of the old empires? Your next move might just make you Europe's greatest train magnate!
The newest installment in our best-selling Ticket to Ride series of train adventures, Ticket to Ride Europe takes you across the Ocean into the heart of Europe. More than just a new map to play on, Ticket to Ride Europe offers you brand new gameplay elements including Tunnels, Ferries and Train Stations. We've also upgraded you to First-Class accommodations with larger cards, new Train Station game pieces, and a lavishly illustrated gameboard.
Like the Spiel des Jahres winning original that has sold over 320,000 copies worldwide, the game remains elegantly simple, and easy to learn. Ticket to Ride Europe is a complete, new game that does not require the original version. It is guaranteed to offer you hours of enjoyment.

please note on the back of the box, it is NOT in English, but there are English rules inside the box and there is no foreign language knowledge required. The only wording on the game itself is the name of the cities of Europe on the board

| The original Ticket to Ride was hailed as the ultimate gateway game, that is, the perfect way to introduce new gamers to the world beyond Monopoly. Did it fulfill this promise? Yes, at the sacrifice of complexity. The new edition is without question a meatier game. The map is tighter, there's a new mechanism for distributing the bonus route cards, and the tunnels add a nice element of randomness. This added complexity significantly increases the game's replayability yet it's still simple enough to teach to just about anyone. Like Settlers and Carcassone, this is a must have for any game collection. |

| Best of the Ticket to Ride Games! Much better than the base Ticket to Ride Game which has only one basic winning strategy, the one who gets the most 6 train routes wins 90% of the time in the base ticket to ride game. Game has several extra mechanics like train stations and tunnels that are easy to learn. This is the ticket to ride game to buy if you are new to the game! |

| A great family game! Easy to learn and fun to play. Just the right combination of luck and strategy. Having played the original US map and now owning the Europe map version, I can say that the Europe map is the better of the two. There is more strategy involved- more competition for routes. It is best with 4-5 players as 2-3 players does not offer enough competition for routes. |
Mr Waiguoren
| A personal favorite among the Ticket to Ride series of games. The game offers a very tight competitive map that can get crowded very quickly. However train stations can always be used to bail yourself out of a difficult situation. I also like the separation of long tickets and short tickets. The best of the TTR games, in my opinion. |

| This game rocks. Easy to learn rules. Fun game. Most people can play this game. It's Ticket to Ride with a European flair and a couple of additional rules for a twist to the original. Try it out with the 1912 expansion. That just makes it more fun! |
Gamepug
| This game is quickly becoming a classic. In this set collection card driven game you are competing to complete the most train routes. One nice feature of Days of Wonder games is that they include information and keys to the online game you can play via their website. Every gamer should own one variation of Ticket To Ride. |
