Ticket to Ride Europe Reviews

4.8 Rating 69 Reviews

Ticket to Ride: Europe takes players on a journey along the famous railroads of the continent in this sequel to the ever popular Ticket to Ride! Ticket to Ride: Europe, a game suitable for 2-5 players, shares much of the same great features from the original. Not only does it keep the fun, fast-paced gameplay rooted in its core, it also brings three brand new elements to the table. If you find yourself having to build a Tunnel, be prepared to pay out extra cards to finish it off! Ferries make it easy for your trains to get across the water but make sure you have a wild card to hand. And if you ever find yourself at a loss when your opponent secures a route that you desperately need, Stations will let you claim that route as well! Be warned though, once used, you can’t score them at the end! Ticket to Ride: Europe will see players become even more strategic and even more cunning with their moves, as they journey across Europe in the quest to build the longest railroads! This game is sure to be a hit with all the family, with its colourful and vibrant artwork and easy to learn gameplay. Absolutely anyone can be up and playing Ticket to Ride: Europe in no time at all. The fast and fun gameplay will have you coming back for more time and time again! So, what are you waiting for? Hop aboard and make sure you have your Ticket to Ride!! Player Count: 2-5 Time: 30-60 Minutes Age: 8+

“A great strategy game that we love playing as a family (kids aged 10 and 12).”

“For context we are a family of 5 ages 52,47,15,13 and 6 and need 5 player games that can be played and enjoyed by all and do not take too long. We had previously played the New York variant of ticket to ride and enjoyed that but it was only four player and was perhaps a bit simple. So we took the plunge and went the full Monty with the Europe version and all I can say is wow, wow, wow. Why so good you may ask - let me explain. With 5 people of varying ages and a youngest of 6 games for us need to be at heart a relatively simple concept for the youngest but have a more strategic layer for the older people and for the younger to grow into. TTR Europe combines this with the other important components of a good family game which I see as some inter-person competition and associated frustration, an element of luck ,the need to ponder every turn and be adaptable, take 30-60 minutes to complete and most importantly of course be enjoyable. I have read reviews by purists complaining about the concept of tunnels and stations but enjoyed these as they add an extra layer of analysis and element of your decision making, of course if you agree with the purists you simply can play without them. As yet I have not played enough to think what is best strategy - I lost horribly to my wife first time around as she focused on her long route and I focused on short routes and the longer connections but the fact that you can try and tackle the game with different strategies and learn and adapt really helps re-playability. I should also that all components are good quality and the board itself large and very nice to look at so a visual feast as well especially as the game reaches conclusions and the trains snake around the board. So all in all close to gaming perfection with the right blend of fun, duration and thinking. Is it the best 5 player family game I have played? I am still deciding but that is only because of Carcasonne which although has similar elements requires you to think differently and brings in an element of co-operation. Buy both would be my view!”

“This game has been our lockdown salvation. My adult son came to join his dad and I in lockdown, but as he runs a company that's amid a major upgrade, he has worked non-stop with stressful pinch points. We tried to make weekends different and I thought a new board game would help. I was right, and we have all loved this game. It's remarkably well designed: the nuances of how the various cards are played have been well designed and you can see the logic behind the scoring system. We have all tried differing strategies when we have played and the varying routes can give each game a very different feel. One player tends to try for additional destination cards, another hoards carriages until he can blitz routes - whereas I am the most cunning of all and on balance have won most games (but the secret of my success will remain just that). We have played the game a couple of evenings a week since the week before lockdown began and are still enjoying every game, but have now decided to branch out and I've ordered the 'Rails and Sails' edition. I've also sent the 'First journey' game to my 6 year-old grandson in lieu of the cuddle that I still can't give him. A great game - lasts exactly the right amount of time (just over an hour, leisurely play) - clever, fun, with room for strategic cunning. In spite of the off-putting instruction length, we went through it quite carefully as we set up and - although we carried on reminding ourselves of odd aspects over the weeks - we grasped it quickly. I'd thoroughly recommend this game.”

“This game worked for the whole family of 5 - 10 years old being the youngest. The rules seem a lot to take in but become clear after the first play through. We all really enjoyed it - just the right amount of luck v strategy for us and aesthetically it’s very pleasing on the eye. Also, just the right amount of time 45min-60min before the teenagers got bored of our company!”

“So good so far. Works well with 2 players and can't wait to try with 3 or 4. I love when a strategy is important.”
