Unfortunately it no longer launches on my iPhone or iPad with iOS 14.2. Any attempt to launch immediately exits. Hopefully there will be a fix soon! ### 5/5 — Ticket to ride first jurny *2020-10-26, version 1.3.27* This a fun family game to play together. ### 4/5 — First Journey better than regular Ticket to Ride *2020-08-29, version 1.3.27* I really like the design of the game. I purchased the other ticket to ride game after this one thinking it would be similar it is not. I prefer this version. I hope there is a plan to offer other regions: India, Asia, Australia, etc. My daughter and I play it together and we both like the animations and graphics. ### 1/5 — Bad game *2020-07-19, version 1.3.27* Not worth the money at all. Very small, very very limited features. Most functionalities are half baked. ### 2/5 — Glitch? *2019-01-20, version 1.3.27* Frustrating. Once a new pop up is earn and the game goes to the screen to reveal the new location, that is it! The game does not continue after that, but starts from the beginning. All routes, pop ups and player ranking are gone. So 10 minutes of play time and we never get past earning a pop up!!! ### 3/5 — Nice kid friendly edition of T2R *2018-09-07, version 1.3.27* My kid enjoys it a lot but we can't play on my iPhone X as some of the ui is hidden by the notch. ### 2/5 — Not what I expected *2018-02-27, version 1.3.27* It’s ok for first time players learning. Not what I expected. But I tried several times to make an account to play Europe but no go!! So I’ve deleted the game. ### 2/5 — Great Intro to Ticket to Ride, but... *2018-01-01, version 1.2* This is a great, fun way to introduce younger gamers to the world of ticket to ride. Fairly intuitive to play and the simplified rules are great for the beginner. The pass and play option is nice but it would be awesome to have the local play option like the more mature Ticket to Ride. Also, the graphics are beautiful but really busy on smaller screens. Keep evolving this app! **Developer response:** Hello, Many thanks for your feedbacks and supports. Best regards, Asmodee Digital support ### 3/5 — Fun, but rules are incomplete/wrong *2017-12-06, version 1.2* There is no mention of the rule that the game ends when someone runs out of trains. The rules merely say "first player to get to 6 wins!" But that isn't even true, and for someone who hasn't played TTR before, it would be quite frustrating to have your game suddenly end! (That said, I think it would be great to provide an "unlimited trains" option so that kids who aren't yet ready to deal with keeping track of that information can just build until someone does reach 6 routes, as described in the rules!) Another rules issue: in the Europe map, the rules do not adjust to explain what cities earn the "coast-to-coast" bonus for that map... And since there is no East coast for Europe, it's not exactly intuitive! This is an otherwise fun game that I look forward to playing with my younger relatives at Christmas this year... But I sure hope that there will be an update to the game before then! ## Frequently asked questions about Ticket to Ride ### What is Ticket to Ride: First Journey?
