Ticket to Ride: First Jouney

Ticket to Ride: First Journey is an independent board game that doesn't need the original version to play! It's a great introduction for all ages to the well - known tabletop franchise. Tailored for younger players, it keeps the strategy, charm, and excitement of the original Ticket to Ride. All family members will love claiming routes and finishing Tickets. Players, especially budding engineers, can use matching colored Train cards or Locomotive cards (which can substitute for any color) to claim routes on the map. Those who claim coast - to - coast routes get a bonus Ticket, getting closer to victory. Ticket cards show players which routes to connect. When you finish a Ticket, you get a new one. If you can't complete your Tickets, just discard and draw new ones. The goal is to be the first to complete six Tickets and win the Golden Ticket. With cute plastic trains and a fun, cartoon - like art style, it appeals to both kids and the young - at - heart. Gather your family and start a cross - country train adventure across the US! Ages 6+, 2 - 4 players, 15 - 30 min playtime.
