Ticket to Ride

Train route game

Ticket to Ride is a popular board game where players collect train cards to claim railway routes across a map, connecting cities to complete destination tickets.

The game balances simple mechanics with strategic depth, making it a gateway game that introduces newcomers to modern board gaming.

We played Ticket to Ride until midnight.

Also the title of a 1965 Beatles song.
