This is utility app to help you count your score in Ticket to Ride board game, it is not the game itself. Counting final score in Ticket to Ride may be time consuming and error prone. This app will help you to count final score for all players fast and error free. Just enter routes length, tickets score and bonuses for each player and the app will arrange players according to the score (refer to the rules in case of tie-in).

Counting routes is the most error prone part of scoring in Ticket to Ride. Thats why each route length button includes different sound effect to reduce a chance of error going unnoticed by you or your friends. You can easily validate your input after you entered all of the routes: * Count number of player's cars left on table (for example: 7). * Subtract that number form 45 to calculate number of cars used (in our example: 45 - 7 = 38). * Compare "number of cars used" shown in the app to calculated one. * If numbers do match, then everything was counted correctly (in our example you should see 38 in the app). Note: 45 is a maximum number of cars in standard game (it might vary if you added more cars or play some kind of non-standard version). Neither the app, nor the publisher is in anyway affiliated with Days of Wonder or Ticket to Ride.
