I thought the board game was a ton of fun so I downloaded the app. Originally everything was great with the app and there were only some minor bugs, but since the past year everything is terrible. The chat option has been shut off for forever (I understand it’s a family game but their should be an option to turn on or off chat according to an individual player basis) and worst of all the game bugs out and crashes every other game!! One game (online that is) will go by with no problems, and then all of a sudden for 5 games straight it’ll pause in the middle, with no warning to me, I have to refresh the game and by the time I refresh either the game is done (and the computer finishes it for me) or the computer has ruined my game by playing 10 moves that I never asked for!! The game almost always crashes mid game and it’s so frustrating as I’ve been playing it for more than a year on the app version now. Extremely dissapointed. A fun game, with terrible execution. ### 2/5 — Fun game but persistent crash starting a solo game *2021-12-23, version 2.7.11* Hi, I've played this game for years, it has ALWAYS had a crashing bug. When you finish a solo game and choose Rematch, it crashes bringing up the new board. You crash three times before you can start a new game without crashing. It's not every time, but most times. I play every day during breakfast and it crashes every day. It has done this across at least three iPhones and multiple versions of the game. Super annoying for a game I've paid for (paid two or three times when it had to be redeveloped with newer iPhone versions). It is just lazy to not fix a low hanging bug that your customer is going to hit EVERY DAY doing something so basic as starting a game. ### 3/5 — Monitor the chat pls *2021-07-03, version 2.7.11* Super fun game, and very addictive, however. . . The chat isn’t monitored at all in the online version, nor is there a way to turn the chat off. Sometimes it’s all friendly chatting, but frequently, there is a bunch of really gross sexual harassment and obnoxious politics. It seems like it would be very simple to hire someone to monitor the chat, but currently, the only option is to report the offenders through a long and complicated process that nobody can remember how to do and nobody has the time for. I’m an adult playing, but I’m appalled by the fact that this game is listed as a 4+ game in the App Store. I am not conservative, but I would not want my children reading this, and frankly, I don’t want to see it either! Other than that, the game is fine other than a few occasionally glitchy updates. ### 2/5 — Fun but way too glitchy *2021-02-25, version 2.7.11* Love this board game and the idea of being able to play online with close friends at home and far their away. But. When playing the local game and sometimes even the solo game, it crashes 8 times out of 10, will boot me out randomly, and will say there is an error or that it is waiting for someone to come back online when we’re both in the same room and neither has exited the game. It’s far too glitchy and not worth $6.99 in its current state. I have the updates version as well as the latest iPhone update and still all the issues. Quite disappointing for something you pay so much for, expecting so much and getting such poor quality. ### 3/5 — Wanted to like it more... *2021-01-24, version 2.7.10* I really wanted to like this app, but there’s a bug that kicks me out frequently when I try to start a solo game. The biggest problem though is in online games. If another play doesn’t take their turn, the game stops until their game timer runs out? The app either needs a way to kick out unresponsive players, or have players automatically replaced by a bot if they’ve been inactive for a certain amount of time. Another annoying feature- if another player leaves, a comment pops up saying they’ve been replaced by a robot. You have to X out of the pop up. Then another pop up shows up if they come back into the game, which you have to X out of. I had someone popping in and out repeatedly, and it was impossible to play that round because you couldn’t look at the board, select cards, lay a train, etc. without getting a pop up that needed to be closed. I really like the game, but unfortunately these bugs mean it is not really playable. ### 2/5 — Maddening bugs in local play *2020-09-07, version 2.7.6* Don’t see a Developer Response on the bottom of this post? Don’t waste your money. Sometimes, the app crashes immediately when you start a game in any mode. Local Games are the worst, though. Playing one is like walking into a field of land mines—you never know when or why the app will crash. Beyond all the crashing: If one player leaves the app during play, even for a second, the app has trouble noticing when they return to the game. When that happens, you wait and wait. You leave again. Come back. Close the app entirely. Come back. Did that kill your game? Maybe. Maybe not. Should you “Please wait” another ten minutes or roll the dice on your evening? When it actually does register that both players are present again, it forgets whose turn it was and locks up indefinitely for one player. (We’re playing with two up-to-date iPhone 11’s over the same Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.) If these bugs had been fixed within the last few years and/or it were easy to submit bugs, this would be a five-star review. The gameplay is fun and the expansions are great. For that reason, I can’t give it one star. I really want it to be as fun as it could be. However, the Local Game bugs so consistently crush our fun—and it’s so convoluted to figure out where to go for support—that we’re fixing to check out for good. Will I miss it? Yeah. But our tabletop version is waiting with open arms. ### 3/5 — Fix Bugs *2020-06-13, version 2.7.6* I’m a huge fan of the board games, so I was excited to have this on the go. Online game mode is super fun, solo is great practice. I love that all of the regions are so easily accessible. Reason for 3 stars is the constant glitching happening lately. There’s no update, my phone is up to date. Everything checks out. But this past week 8 out of 10 games glitch, it either doesn’t load me in, it runs our time down, takes away turns, etc so game has to be force closed often causing bots to replace and make choices for us players. Just a while again... I clicked join a game, nothing happened. I tried again, nothing happened. 15 minutes later I got a notification that my online game finished?? What?? Please fix!! ### 4/5 — Great adaptation but I wish I could see all my route cards at once *2020-05-26, version 2.7.5* This review is coming from someone who has played the board game probably a hundred times. Me and my family downloaded the game to play with some friends because of Covid-19. The game is for the most part a great adaptation of the original along with some added features that improve the experience like the timer and having your points gained by laying train cars added automatically. That being said there was one frustrating thing that wasn’t a problem at all in the actual board game. This is that there is no way to see all of your routes at one time when it’s your turn. This one little thing made 2 of my 5 games I have played so far on the app feel as if I loss not by my own sword but instead because of the app. If this was added in I would give this app a 5 star review without thinking twice. **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for your great and kind feedback! We are glad you like the game and are happy to count you in our player community. We also took note of your remark and will do our best to improve your player experience. Best regards, Asmodee Digital Support ### 4/5 — Great game with one change *2020-05-23, version 2.7.5* This game is a really fun adaptation of the board game that I love to play. I like not having to count up all the pieces, shuffle and hold cards, and carefully place my trains on the board in the right spot. I love the ranking system as I think it demonstrates a players skill, but values their most recent game scores above their past ones. One change that I would like to see made is a turn time limit. There is already a time limit for the whole game, but I believe one for a turn is needed! I’ve been in way too many games where the person who is clearly doing poorly stops playing, and the remaining players have to wait for his/her timer to run down. I played a game this morning where I had to wait 10 minutes until one player’s timer finally ran out just so we could take our last turn. The turn timers could be something set by the host of each game. I think anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes would be good. ### 4/5 — Still Crashes Way Too Much *2020-05-19, version 2.7.4* Our family really LOVES this game. We have played either the board version or online version every day since I bought it three weeks ago, and we have almost all of the versions. However, it is incredibly frustrating that the app crashes multiple times during an evening of family night games. It’s almost to a point of always having to revert back to USA on the board game since most of the other online versions randomly crash either at the beginning of the Local setup or mid game. Don’t know if I should continuously log what is happening when it crashes to send to the company but I don’t know who wants it or will do anything with it. Please figure it out. I can’t win the board game. 🤨 ### 2/5 — So frustrating... *2020-05-04, version 2.7.4* Let’s start with what I liked...the game was easy to navigate and made me excited because it corresponded well to the tabletop version. My problem is the GLITCHES, and there were many. My opponent was a friend of mine, and after the game was over I checked with her and she confirmed that she also experienced them on her side. -The game force quit SO many times. -I would take 20 seconds to play a turn, and then suddenly I’d be missing 2 minutes of play time on my clock. I guess we were freezing up, but it was happening repeatedly on my end. It looked like her clock was running out, but then it would unfreeze and my time would be missing and hers would be given back. So by the end of the game, I had 4 minutes left and she had 30. -When I completed my first route, I had to play the same turn 4 times because it would say I completed it and then restart my turn and wipe away the turn’s progress. I’m pretty upset that I spent what I did on that app. I’m not usually one to spend money on apps, but I love the table top version and wanted to play with my friend in another state, so it would’ve been well worth it to spend that, but I don’t know if I’ll want to play again after the hassle. ### 3/5 — Losing star rating *2020-04-11, version 2.7.2-6540* After owning this app for many years and buying several versions, Ticket To Ride’s new avatar banner reminder is making me hate the game. It was bad enough when we were constantly being badgered to take our turn, now the banner blocks the screen making it difficult to play. WTH! I’ve tried adjusting the speed but to no avail. I don’t know what you were thinking but it’s time to remove this irritant. Don’t tell us it’s for new players. That’s nonsense. The rest of us didn’t have any trouble figuring out how to play. Are you insinuating that the current group of customers is too stupid to learn? Please listen to the legions who are making this complaint. We represent thousands who don’t take the time to write. Thank you ### 3/5 — Ruined with “it’s your turn” banner *2020-04-08, version 2.7.2* I love this game, and I love this app, but sometimes the updates are completely unnecessary and ruin the game experience. This latest update introduced the “it’s your turn” banner which pops up a big sign that covers 1/3 of the board, and there’s no way to turn it off! This game requires studying the board every turn to look for new or vanishing opportunities and plan your turn, so now you have to swipe the annoying banner out of the way to see the map and plan your turn, which has caused me to accidentally take actions or grab cards I didn’t want, a HUGE no-no in the strategy of this game! There’s also ZERO need for it in solo mode which is what I play most often. I wait because I’m studying, NOT because I can’t figure out when it’s my turn—please make an option to turn this “feature” off in the settings. Until then, I won’t be playing. **Developer response:** Hello, We are really sorry that you felt so disappointed by the last feature introduced in the update. I have sent your feedback to our teams so they can be aware of it. Thank you, Asmodee Digital Support ### 4/5 — New update....not a fan *2020-04-08, version 2.7.2* New update with the turn bar is worse idea ever, far more annoying and obtrusive then the previous notification. What really needs to be addressed is AI in Solo Games which is primarily what I play. After player completes a couple of routes or getting below 20 trains the AI blows all their trains to end the game as quickly as possible until they get down to 3 trains and then it will draw cards endlessly. Not really fun game play it this should be addressed as well as removing the stupid turn bar. Even with annoyances I still rate game high as I am huge fan of board game, just need to get the electronic version right for those who love the game ### 3/5 — Crash crash crash *2020-04-02, version 2.6.10* Really fun game but I prefer the board game version since it doesn’t crash on you. The app crashes on average 3-4 times per game on solo and every turn on multiplayer games. I have uninstalled the app and redownloaded it but that didn’t help at all. Second issue, “your turn”, “your turn”, “your turn “. Shut up! I know it’s my turn. Especially on solo play. There should be an option to turn it off or at least slow down the frequency of reminders. I get the benefit but does it have to be every 2 seconds? Like I said, fun game but unless these two things are fixed then I wouldn’t get it. I’m looking into refund options. I will update the review when these things are fixed. Don’t get this game for now. ### 4/5 — Fun base game. Online forum VULGAR *2020-03-01, version 2.6.10* I play in real life, and offline with the app. I love this game, especially Pennsylvania. I just tried to play online, and the games were all locked to me because I do not have enough experience. I looked to the chat to try to find someone willing to play with a noobie, and it was all N word this, towel head that, sexual talk... one administrator temporarily muted one person, but the others continued with racism and vulgarity. I guess as long as they put spaces between the letters it was not flagged (?!). I left. I wish It had been better moderated. It is 2 am, but, still, my first experience is marred badly, I am unlikely to give it another shot. Too bad, I love this game. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fix Your Broken App and Servers or Stop Selling It! *2023-08-16* Why did I just pay $10 for this app? The app and servers are completely broken, it’s virtually unusable! I figured with 21k 5 star ratings that it would be fine. I didn’t even notice that the app hasn’t had a version release for TWO YEARS. Playing online is so bugged it’s broken. Every time I start a game the app just hangs, meanwhile the backend and the other players think I’m just sitting there letting the clock run down. I literally have to close the app, reopen it, and rejoin the game every single time. And it’s so slow, it wastes two minutes of my clock time easily. I know I’m not the only one having the issues either because every game involves other players disconnecting and reconnecting at least once. Meanwhile as I’m busy rebooting the app trying to get into the game, a robot has taken over to make dumb decisions on my behalf. Absolutely ridiculous. I’ve never had to get a refund for an app but I guess there’s a first for everything. Not even sure how to go about doing that?? Oh, and sometimes it simply hangs on “Authenticating” and you just can’t play. ### 1/5 — Fix Your Broken App and Servers or Stop Selling It! *2023-08-10* Why did I just pay $10 for this app?

Not even sure how to go about doing that?? ### 1/5 — Game constantly crashing when trying to restart *2021-08-26, version 2.7.11* I’ve tried twice to have this resolved with no success. In solo mode when trying to rematch or simply start a new game after completing one, the game crashes. It started happening every once in a while a couple years ago. Then got worse, to the point it does it more times than not. I have to open the app 3 or 4 times and try to start a game before it will go forward without crashing. I had an older iPhone but I got a 12 pro earlier this year and same problem. Always current on iOS and updating app. Tried many times to delete and reload app. I stopped for months at a time hoping it would get resolved but just tried again and same problem. Nothing works and no help from creators to date. It’s a great game but unplayable like this. ### 1/5 — Connectivity local or online is horrible *2021-02-24, version 2.7.11* This could be a great game but playing in local or online mode is so unpredictable that you may spend most of the time waiting for other players to reconnect. I just spent 10 minutes filling out a customer service form only to press submit and see a message that something went wrong please try again. This has happened over and over. If the developer can’t even come up with a way to receive email I’m not sure how they can fix these problems. It’s a lot of money to spend for a very buggy app. At this point I’d be happy if I could just send a message to the developer or customer service. If you have an email address please let me know what it is. A refund seems like the best route at this point ### 1/5 — PLEASE DO NOT BUY-APP STOLE MY MONEY *2020-04-09, version 2.7.2* I really loved this game and the online features especially given that it allowed me to play with friends online during this quarantine. I paid $6.99 and it was working up until the update. I updated the game two days ago and now I can barely open a game. The game will blink and glitch whenever it’s my turn. I have to exit the game, restart, log back in despite having automatic login, just to see that the clock’s kept going so I lost a minute. But then, it keeps glitching so I redo the process and now I’ve lost another minute. Sometimes it’ll glitch where I will have to put my card down 3-4 times because it didn’t register then I’ve lost more time. This was a good game but now I’m trying to get a refund because the frustration and anger isn’t worth it. If anyone can comment suggestions for other games, I’d greatly appreciate it! ### 1/5 — New Tutorial does not teach the game *2019-05-27, version 2.6.3* Version 2.6.3 - A new tutorial was added. The old tutorial is gone. The previous tutorial was good at teaching how to play the game. The new tutorial has a floating hand pointing at places. The explanations are not clear on what is happening or what your doing or why your doing it. The game board is blown up out of proportion. Half the screen is blacked out, Making it difficult to see what’s going on, and what your doing. There is no way to exit the tutorial except by playing it out, or closing the game. I previously did the old tutorial before I told a friend he could learn the game from it. And I felt it would teach him the game. He had trouble understanding this new tutorial. We ended up not wanting to play. Please bring back the previous tutorial. When we tried to play the game we found it is an annoying game. When we are picking our tickets there is a sign that drops every 8 seconds that says, “Please choose some tickets.” And then there is a sign that says “It’s your turn” that keeps dropping down every 10 seconds. I know it’s my turn. I only need to be told once. Can we turn these annoying signs off? We are playing “Pass and Play” Even if we were playing another way; there is no need for these signs to drop over and over again. These annoying signs drop down even in the solo game. They are useless annoyances. **Developer response:** Hello ! Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry if you encounter issues with our game. Please, make sure to contact our support here : https://asmodee.helpshift.com/a/ticket-to-ride/?=undefined&contact=1 Best regards, Asmodee Digital Support Team ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY THIS GAME in its current form. *2019-01-10, version 2.5.14* Edit: after 2.5.14 update the app is still clunky and slow. A huge downgrade from how the app performed for years. To their credit the developer has followed up the December version that first introduced these huge regressions. But arguably that was a version that never would have been released if the proper amount of quality control and play testing had been done. Asmodee Digital only gets a certain amount of credit for what amounts to fixing the huge mistake or error in judgement they themselves made. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME in its current form. To Asmodee Digital, who is replying to some critical reviews with requests for users to post bug reports to a private bug tracker: Have you played your own game? Were you avid players of Ticket to Ride? Because you don’t need detailed bug reports for the vast majority of problems you introduced. Just install the version prior to the 2.5.11 update and play that version of the game. Then play this version and it will be glaringly obvious what you messed up. Edit: removed a star after the 2.5.11 update made the app and gameplay feel way slower Original review: ⭐️⭐️ Great game. Online play is useless to me as I'm red-green colorblind and can't tell certain opponents apart. App needs a colorblind mode. ### 1/5 — No XR support/Online play is broken *2018-12-30, version 2.5.12* Update. So I found out that the screen could be reduced so I could see all game play but it’s like looking at it on a screen of an iPhone 4 inside an XR. Online play is completely broken on my XR and on my 5th gen iPad. WiFi/no WiFi, it doesn’t matter. Sometimes it acts like it’s going to work and then it just quits again. I have re-installed and restarted and contacted the developers through review and the help/contact button in-game and have heard nothing back. Solo mode works fine if that matters. Otherwise, very, very disappointing. Original- I can’t play train cards half the time because the stupid multitasking button is in the way. The cards become smaller or bigger based on how many you have and I can’t place them on routes to win the game because every time I try to grab them my phone thinks I’m trying to exit the game. I just bought this game and an expansion pack and they are unusable. I’ve played this game before and it was great but it is unplayable as of now. Update your game people! ### 1/5 — Terrible execution of a great board game *2017-03-03, version 2.4.1* The glitches are horrendous. I constantly get booted from games, or it tells me it's someone else's turn and I can't play. Meanwhile my clock is ticking down and I can't even tell it's my turn. The only way to fix it is to hard close the app and reopen it, reconnecting which can take several minutes. Meanwhile the bot has sometimes played for you. (And the bots are horrible.). I would expect these glitches for a free game. But I've paid over $20 between the original game and extra maps. It's been several years and they keep coming out with new maps and ways to make money without fixing the basic glitches. I would strongly dissuade anyone from spending money on this game. I for one won't be giving them any more money unless the fix what I've already paid for. ### 2/5 — Dodgy Local mode ruins gameplay *2022-09-04, version 2.7.11* We like the board game, but having a computer help with counting and cards is so much easier. My family has tried to play in Local mode for years, both over Bluetooth and WiFi. Most of the time the game ends in a disappointing stalemate because one player gets disconnected and cannot get reconnected into a playing state, so they have an infinite turn. I have no idea why this happens. We have had it happen at the beginning of games as well as near the end of them. It is quite frustrating because you never know if this is one of the rare instances where you will be able to complete a game. What happens is this. All players except one get a message that a player has disconnected and the game is waiting for them to reconnect. That player might have a similar message, but without indication of who is still connected or sometimes some other message. We have tried rejoining and force quitting the game, relaunching and rejoining, but a typical best case is that the game recognizes that the player has rejoined and removes the message from the other players’ screens, but the player who was allegedly disconnected is unable to take any actions except to leave the game again. Other game modes are still fun, but we would like to use local most of all. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Suggestions *2021-03-11, version 2.7.11* Hi there! Love the app! Here are a few suggestions for the developers. No rush, just trying to help out. 1. There are numerous times when I will create a game and all of the people show up but the game does not start. It forces you to back out, then go to “RESUME” to re-join the game. It’s strange, but it happens to my friend as well. 2. When you join a game and you’re waiting for others to join, it would be nice to see how many players the game is set for.. that way people know how long their wait will be. 3. I saw there was a suggestion to be able to pull back your move incase you accidentally made a mistake.. I agree that it can happen and it can be frustrating especially in a close match, BUT I don’t agree it should be fixed. I don’t want to have to confirm/submit my move every time, it’s more finger strokes. All those people with fat fingers should just learn to be more precise. 4. Make the friends aspect more useful. Sometimes I play people in a game, and I either has a good conversation or I enjoy the way they play so it would be nice to add those people to your friends list without having to memorize the name. Keep up the good work. ### 5/5 — It is good *2020-12-06, version 2.7.10* Yes, it can be said that Ticket To Ride challenges the very fabric of intellectual existentialism. Indeed, this railway excursion defies the confines of terrestrial deduction and compels its consumers to extend trifling beyond the limits of recreational pursuit and instead, to cross the threshold of analytical inference. I say this game is good. It mite be the best. Gaming rocks. Actuly gaming rocks the Rockies. Gaming is good for people and there brains. It don’t matter weather you are little or old. Or what you’re natonality is or is not. Gaming is a cure for anything except covid. I know because I study a bunch of things. And railroad stuff is Awesome but not the noise. I live 25 feet from a active railroad track and its mostly noisy. And there are lots of grafiti on the box cars and the local motives. But no grafiti is in this game, so it rocks. So by this game and Yule get more smart. Like me. ### 5/5 — Love the game but I have a suggestion *2020-07-08, version 2.7.6* My wife and I love the app and the board game. We play Local often and I wish we could just hit rematch after a game, have more control over colors and avatars, and have a way to let the person who joins go first. So far, we’ve needed to start local games from my Mac instead of our phones/I pass. It would also be good to be able to see destination cards full screen on the phone. Germany cards are hard to read when the destination is another country, Finally the solo game tends to crash at the very end, after the scores are up. So when I restart, it resumes at the last turn. Not fatal but slightly annoying. ### 5/5 — Stole my money: Problem Fixed *2020-02-20, version 2.6.10* After reaching out to tech support the problem was resolved. The team was very prompt. Only took about a day to rectify the situation. I bought this game about a year and a half ago and it was fantastic. I even bought several of the expansion packs. However, about a year ago the developers updated the app and ever since then I always get the message “In app purchases are not allowed”. I can’t restore! I thought that it was just a bug and would be remedied in a later update, but since it has been a year since the issue started I don’t think that they will fix this issue. ### 5/5 — After 20,000 games or more... *2019-08-19, version 2.6.5* Whether you're a seasoned Ticket to Ride fan or new to the game, this app is a great way to learn and play TTR. I enjoy playing solo games against the AI bots. It gives me a good chance to practice various strategies and improve my game. Playing against live players can be frustrating because there are a lot of sharks who just want to win, and playing against them is not fun. I will note, that after playing the bots for many years, that they are rather predictable. Some bots will build as many 15 point segments as possible, ignoring their tickets. Many of the bots seem to have a preference for certain routes, and will build them even if they don't have tickets going into those cities. They rarely choose extra tickets. Also, they will collect many more train cards than they'll ever need. However, the game play is pretty realistic and gives good insight into what strategies work well. ### 5/5 — Greedy Days of Wonder screws pocket edition owners *2019-05-04, version 2.6.2* I BOUGHT TTR Pocket edition and liked it for years. It came with three map variants out of the box. When they came out with this new edition they spammed my pocket edition telling me to upgrade. I would get my “choice of more maps” and they would let me “migrate for free”. NOPE. Migrated to find I get ONE map and have to give them more money just to get back the maps I already paid for. I am thankful I left my old version on my phone. Uninstalling this. Will NEVER buy another Days of Wonder game because of this scam. They were so greedy they would not even give me the same number of maps I had previously just to make a few extra cents. Well guess what? Now they get nothing. ### 4/5 — Way Past Due for an UPDATE *2022-11-17, version 2.7.11* This is my favorite board game and app, but this app hasn’t been updated in ages. I recall an interview with the development team for the Ticket to Ride app saying there would be more maps added way back in 2020; over 2 years later here we are with the same maps, it’s getting a bit stale. Wish we could have some more of the physical boards added like Rails and Sails, Great Lakes, San Francisco, Amsterdam, Old West, etc. It would be more engaging to have seasonal events too like for Halloween, Christmas, etc., while implementing some of the existing add ons and expansions like the Halloween Freighter trains, Alvin & Dexter, Depots… It would also be nice to have more customization, such as being able to use stations on any map. I would think there would be more frequent updates considering this app is near the top of the chart in board games in the App Store. ### 4/5 — Good, Not Great *2022-10-15, version 2.7.11* I love this board game, but this app gets annoying at times. - First, I don’t need you to stop the game and inform me every time somebody closes their app for a second to check something on their phone. Just switch them to a computer player and keep going. - Second, why don’t we know how many players are in a game until the game starts? - Lastly, put a shorter time limit on making moves. Players should have 20-30 seconds to use their turn or else they get switched to a computer player. If players are taking 1 minute + to make a move, I just close the game. I care nothing about what it does to my player ranking. ### 4/5 — Enjoyable game, but needs some updates *2021-12-28, version 2.7.11* I really enjoy playing Ticket to Ride online, but there are a couple things that need updating. -Too often someone leaves a game and you have to wait their timer to run out for them to be replace by a bot. It’s frustrating. Please correct this with either a turn time limit or have them replaced sooner, maybe 2 minutes. -The bots in online play need to play smarter. They often don’t complete routes and seem random in their moves. -As for the chat, glad you disabled it. I suggest you leave it disabled. It serves no purpose. Just add some more fun emojis and an easier way to access them during gameplay. Thanks! ### 4/5 — Took away the maps I had purchased *2020-10-31, version 2.7.10* I really like this game. I played it daily with my son while he is in his house and I in mine. But yesterday when I tried to shift to one of the maps I had purchased, it told me to buy it. “Restore purchases” , rebooting the game, rebooting my iPad, deleting and reloading the game ....nothing works. The help section says that when you ask to reload purchases the game will ask for Apple ID, but it doesn’t. I sent a complaint to Asmodee, and while they acknowledged receipt, there has been no other response. I see in the chat section that others are have had the same problem. I will change my rating when this is corrected. Edit: The developer fixed the bug that caused me to lose my maps, so I’m changing my rating to 4 stars. It’s a great game, and you can play it online, a huge advantage in this pandemic. **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for your feedback! Many people lost access to one or several DLCs after the 2.7.10 update, for the reason explained below. First, let me say that you simply need to restart your app (close it and restart it) to be restored access to these maps, as we fixed this issue. Now, let me explain what happened: some months ago, many of you reported a bug where when you bought one or several maps, you received one or several of the now missing maps (Europe, USA 1910, Legendary Asia, India, Switzerland and Nordic Countries) for free. Please note that having achievements on these maps doesn't prove that you ever purchased them, it simply proves you got access to it- which is precisely what the bug did. Also, the "Europe" map isn't a bundle of maps, it only contains one map, the Europe one, and it is the same with the base game "Ticket to Ride", it only contains the basic USA map, and it is not a bundle. Finally, please know that your purchase history cannot be tampered with by us or anyone else, and thus if the maps you were missing don't appear, it shows that you indeed did not purchase them and benefitted from this bug I explained above. We have been working on this for the past few months and the last update, version 2.7.10, did fix, among other issues, this particular one- that is why you lost access to these maps. However, as I previously stated, we decided to give back all the missing maps to everyone who got affected by it as this was solely our mistake in the first place. We successfully wrote and deployed a script which did that and that is why you now simply need to restart your app to find these maps back. Thank you very much for your patience and understanding, We hope you will have fun playing these maps again!
