HOW TO PLAY TICKET TO RIDE®:

Players are dealt a number of tickets and must pick a certain number to keep (depending on the map). 
Players are also dealt four train cards of various colours. This number can also vary depending on the map you’re playing on, but don’t worry – the AI takes care of this!
Each turn, players can draw two train cards from the face-up pile, draw two train cards from the face-down pile, draw another ticket to complete, or use their train cards to claim a route! A claimed route is shown by placing train pieces along the route.
When a player has three or fewer train pieces left, the last round starts. Whoever has the most points at the end of the game is the winner!

### 5/5 — Pass

*2026-08-19, version 1.11.0*

Pass is way too expensive and plus I already bought it for my Xbox I think this should be linked to that somehow

### 5/5 — Special interest

*2026-08-19, version 1.11.0*

I’m autistic, I love trains, I love board games, I have the original game on my shelf. I love that this is mobile, I can play whenever I want and it’s easy to navigate. I also have it on pc! The only downside is I had the original mobile (and pc) games and they terminated the multiplayer without any compensation or discount to buy it again. Still an amazing game!

### 5/5 — Just my opinion

*2026-08-11, version 1.11.0*

It would be nice if there was an option to opt out of bots joining your game. I would rather wait for real people to play with. I used to be able to tell by the names used that it was a bot and I would resign from those games, but now it seems like you’re using all sorts of names, hard to identify who’s real. It’s very annoying the way the bots play. They often take the spots on routes that are most important to link anything before anyone else can get to them.

### 4/5 — Great game

*2026-08-11, version 1.11.0*

The physical board game is always annoying when it comes to checking final scores and calculating everything, and this makes it soooooo much easier. On the other hand they’re kinda just squeezing as much money as they can out of your wallet because they literally charge more than the game costs just to get a new map.

### 1/5 — Constantly Kicked Out

*2026-08-10, version 1.11.0*

Great game, plays well but in every other game it freezes or kicks you out so it’s frustrating.
I have the paid version and it happens constantly. Waste of money and time.
Additionally, the Nordic map is horizontal! 
Absolutely ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Impossible to Win

*2026-08-07, version 1.11.0*

I’m a pretty skilled player in real life against real people, but this app has made it extremely difficult to win.

The route card draws don’t feel random (skewed in favor of AI players, and against me), AI players are able to collect the colors they need far faster and easier than I can, and here lately, AI players only seem interested in keeping 3-4 route cards while collecting as many colors as possible and dropping their trains all in rapid succession to score a ton of points. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve completed 8-9 routes, and still lost by 40 points to an AI player who completed 3, but racked up 95 points. Sure, it’s a strategy to win a game if you can collect a bunch of color cards, but it’s the virtual equivalent of losing a video game to a kid who does nothing but button mash. I’ve even tried to use this method against the AI, but it doesn’t work, because I can’t collect colors fast enough, and the routes I’m given are short ones worth very little points most of the time.

This app used to be a fun way to hone my skills against real life players, but it’s next to unplayable now.

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2026-08-05, version 1.11.0*

This game only includes USA base map, which is misleading since the same game on LUNA gives you almost all of available maps as part of the amazon prime; might as well call it TICKET TO RIDE - USA

### 5/5 — Best game EVER

*2026-07-29, version 1.11.0*

Honestly, This is my favorite game. I actually have the board game too. On the app you can buy (real money)  different places. The point of the game is to play all your trains and to finish all your routes. You get different colored cards for different color spots. And you get the amount of card of how many spots there are. There are rainbow cards which is a wild. So fun!

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2026-07-21, version 1.11.0*

They’ve made this game so easy to play and user-friendly. I enjoy playing it every day while I eat my lunch.

### 3/5 — Additional Cost to Play

*2026-07-21, version 1.11.0*

Game is great, but was incredibly disappointed to discover that after paying the £4.99 for the game I then have to pay at least £29.00 to get the maps!! Should be obvious at purchase and very expensive for what it is…!
