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.

About

Liar Button

Features
Read full description

The button will lie to you. The question is: will you fall for it? Liar Button is a fast reflex and mind-trick game where following the instruction is not always the right move. Every round gives you a command and a color: • GREEN: do exactly what it says. • RED: do the opposite. Sounds easy… until the clock starts ticking. TAP, DON'T TAP, HOLD, DOUBLE TAP, OR DRAW Commands change, pressure rises, and one impulsive move can end your run. Read fast, control your reflexes, and do not let the button think for you. SOLO MODE Beat 50 timed levels, master new actions, and use strategic boosts. Every level demands more focus than the last. ONLINE 1V1 DUELS Face another player in real time. You both get the same challenge, and the first player to make a mistake loses. Victory is not about tapping fastest—it is about thinking clearly under pressure. Quick rounds, one simple rule, and constant tension. Do not trust the command. Do not trust the color. Most of all, do not trust the button. Download Liar Button and see how long you can survive the lie.
