Another TTR winner!
Fun and easy to play game, a great addition to the TTR world.

Great game for children!
My 7 year old loves this game! It is easy enough for basic strategy but the game play isnât too long where he gets bored. Game play is roughly 20-30 minutes per game. It is great quality. It makes a great introductory gift for young board gamers or a birthday gift.

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.

Some Strategy, Some Luck, Good Fun for All
Ticket to Ride: First Journey is a highly distilled version of it’s bigger sibling, Ticket To Ride. The gameplay ends when a player either reaches 6 completed ticket cards or a player runs out of train cars. There is no tallying of a score either for route length or ticket value. The longest route reward has been replaced with several “coast to coast” cards. When each player connects the East Coast to the West Coast he or she receives a card which counts as an additional ticket. (Our own house rules right now omits this card until both kids are playing completely independently. We also play with all our cards face up.)
My barely-six year old can play this game independently save for the occasional reminder to keep his cards orderly.
My nearly-four year old plays this game somewhat independently. I help him keep his cards in order, and offer advice on alternative routes to complete a ticket card. It cracks me up to use long names like “Boo-ka-west,” and mention, “Mickey raced there,” any time he sees a ticket to Rome. (Mickey and the Roadster Racers Volume 1). After about twenty games he started to rarely need advice on routes or reminders where a city is located.
This game is enjoyable game for an adult as it involves some strategy without too much repetition. Said six year old legitimately beat his father by intentionally nabbing an important connection late in the game. I usually handicap myself by not using any wildcards I gather.
The only very minor drawback is I thought I was buying the US map when I purchased this game; the box labeling is not quite clear enough for me to quickly notice the difference. I’d prefer my children gain a sense of where Los Angeles is in relationship to New York than Madrid to Moscow. I didn’t purchase this game as a geography lesson, so it doesn’t bother me much. It was just a surprise when I received it in the mail.
2019 Update:
We were able to play the US version at a branch of our local library. We /prefer/ the Europe Edition. The pieces are sturdier. The artwork feels more polished. Europe feels easier to reroute when blocks occur.

Amazing game
Fun Family Time

Nice intro game
This is a nice intro to the full ticket to ride game. I felt like it worked better with two people rather than 4 due to analysis paralysis of two players which made the game move slow. There isnât a lot of luck involved in this game which unfortunately means I almost always beat my son. The components are ok, nothing to get super excited about.

Great game
We love playing this game with our family. Itâs a nice balance of luck and skill, takes some time but not too long, and is simple to learn. We got it because my son loves trains, but other kids and adults like to play as well. My son is 5 and weâve played with kids up to 9 and all have done well with it.

Fun Game!
This is a favorite of our kids!
Amazon Customer –
It is a great game for kids and we will probably upgrade to the adult version in the future.

My 4 year old really wanted to play our ticket to ride fame but obviously it would be too hard. We bought his this version for Christmas and while it is still a but tricky for him, I think he will pick it up quickly.
Pieces are sturdy and well made.
Game is easy enough for 5 years and up.

We have been slowing introducing our 5-year-old to board games that involve a bit of basic strategy and decision making. This game is amazing. No reading is required; the cities are represented by images on the board and cards. The turns are simple and quick; you’re either building railway lines or picking up 2 cards. An adult can legitimately lose based on the draw of the cards so you’re not stuck in a situation where you have to take it easy on any of the players.

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 resolvà sencillamente con unas reglas caseras

Got this for my son as he likes strategy games. Was easy to pick up and play and is a good teacher for the adult version which he wants to play.
