Ticket to Ride - Europe
Ticket to Ride: Europe takes you on a new train adventure across Europe. From Edinburgh to Constantinople and from Lisbon to Moscow, you’ll visit great cities of turn-of-the-century Europe. More than just a new map, Ticket to Ride: Europe features brand new gameplay elements including Tunnels, Ferries and Train Stations. The game also includes larger format cards and Train Station game pieces. Like the original Ticket to Ride, the game remains elegantly simple, can be learned in 5 minutes, and appeals to both families and experienced gamers. Ticket to Ride: Europe is a complete, new game and does not require the original version. Part of the Ticket to Ride series.
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Great followup, not as good as the original
To anyone considering this game that hasn’t played the original Ticket To Ride, I’d recommend checking out the US version’s reviews first. The short version of pretty much all the reviews is: the game is wonderful, you won’t be disapointed.
Compared to the original, this game isn’t quite as fun. Not much has changed in this version. The map is very different, there are now tunnels and express ways (or something like that) that limit how you can claim your routes, and there are the addition of the train stations, but ultimately these new additions do not add to the experience significantly, and the tighter board makes for a somewhat more stressful experience. This should not deter anyone interested in another ticket to ride though: this game is still very fun.
If you’re getting this game for a younger kid(say, 8 or younger), I’d recommend getting the original first, as the train station rules can confuse adults as well as kids.
5 Stars Time for fun
Very good game that continues Ticket To Ride series with new features which enhance player’s fun and satisfaction. Besides that, the board map allows you to learn a more about Europe’s geography.
4 Stars Definately game of the year!
This Game is Great! My wife and I love to play it with friends. It’s fast and easy to pick up with people who haven’t played before.
5 Stars Ticket to Ride Review
This made a great gift that our entire family enjoyed. We had played the version of this game based on Germany, but really enjoyed the larger European board as well. Building tunnels is a unique feature of Ticket to Ride Europe that adds an interesting element of suspense to the game. Our entire family would recommend it to your family.
5 Stars Great Game!
We first played Ticket to Ride USA and thought this one would be fun too. We were right! Adding the tunnels, being able to use the trains of other players and other twists makes this game all that much more fun! Excellent game - we would (and do) recommend it to anyone!!
