Ticket to Ride (board game)
Encyclopedia
Ticket to Ride is a railway-themed German-style board game
designed by Alan R. Moon
and published in 2004 by Days of Wonder
. The game is also known as Zug um Zug (German
), Les Aventuriers du Rail (French
), Aventureros al Tren (Spanish
), Wsiąść do pociągu (Polish
), and Menolippu (Finnish
).
The game won the 2004 Spiel des Jahres
, the Origins Award
for Best Board Game of 2004
and the 2005 Diana Jones award
and As d'Or
, and came 2nd in the Schweizer Spielepreis
for Family Games. Ticket to Ride: Europe won the 2005 International Gamers Award
. As of August 2008, over 750,000 copies of the game have been sold according to the publisher.
At the beginning of the game, players choose a number of "destination" cards showing a pair of cities on the map. These become goals, representing two end-points which players are secretly attempting to connect. Each player is dealt a number of "destination" cards (how many, depends on the variation of the game), of which he/she must keep at least some. Once kept, a "destination" card may not be discarded during the entire game.
Each turn, players collect "railway car" card
s in various colors (including wildcard "Locomotive" cards), draw additional "destination" cards, or use railway car cards to claim routes on a map of the United States
(that also includes southern portions of Canada
) and thereby earn points. The routes are of varying lengths (requiring varying numbers of matching coloured cards), and each discrete route marked on the board can be claimed by only a single player. Some cities are connected by two parallel routes that can each be claimed by a different player. The same player may not claim the same route twice. Longer routes are worth progressively more points than shorter routes, e.g., a route of length four is worth more than two routes of length two.
On his or her turn, a player can claim any route anywhere on the board that has not already been claimed, regardless of whether the route is part of any of his or her destinations. The routes score points by themselves, as mentioned above, but routes not connected to a player's destination do not help him or her in reaching the destination / completing her route.
The game ends when one player has exhausted or nearly exhausted his or her supply of coloured train pieces. When this occurs, every player then plays one additional turn, after which they each reveal his or her previously hidden "destination" cards. Additional points are awarded for having successfully completed the routes on the cards, whereas points are subtracted for any incomplete routes. A ten-point bonus is awarded to the player who has the longest continuously connected set of routes.

. Mystery Train includes a total of twelve cards:
The new destination and character cards are shuffled into the destination ticket deck after players have drawn their initial destination cards. While the destination cards simply function as normal destinations, the characters each have special rules associated with them. Engineer cards can be played to allow the player to search the entire destination ticket deck and select a desired destination. The remaining character cards provide various score bonuses at the end of the game if certain conditions are fulfilled.
Europa 1912 also introduces Warehouses and Depots - two new game elements that brings a new layer of strategy to all versions of Ticket to Ride. During the game, train cards are added to the warehouses. Players who build a route to a city that includes a depot can collect those cards, making them an important part of any strategy.
as it was at the turn of the 20th century. The game includes two new types of route: 'Ferry
' routes, which require 'Locomotive' cards to be played when claiming them, and 'Tunnel
' routes, which add an element of risk and chance
to the game.
Each player is also given three "Train stations", which allow a player to sacrifice points to use a route already claimed by another player.
The method of distributing "destination cards" is also different as compared to the base game.
. Märklin
is a German toy company, best known for model railways and technical toys. Whereas railway car cards of each type in the previous games were identical, the cards in Ticket to Ride: Märklin each show a different image of Märklin rolling stock. While this has no impact on actual play, it provides additional theme and flavor.
The game adds passengers and goods as a new point-scoring mechanism. This allows each player to place up to three passengers (over the course of a game) in cities when establishing routes between them. At any later point in time, players can then choose to move their passenger, causing the passenger to traverse a set of connected points, collecting available point tokens (or goods) at each city which is visited. Doing so consumes the passenger, which is then removed from the game. Because the point tokens themselves are removed as they're collected, doing this early in the game earns tokens of higher value, while doing so later in the game tends to traverse longer routes.
This version of the game also uses two different type of 'Locomotive' wildcards. In addition to the standard type, there are "+4" locomotives, which can only be used as wildcards on routes of at least length four. The upside of this is that these locomotives can be freely selected from the available face-up cards without counting as a double-draw.

. Mystery Train includes a total of twelve cards:
- Four short destination cards: Vancouver to Portland, Boston to Washington, Winnipeg to Omaha, and Montreal to Chicago.
- Five character cards: Station Agent, Tycoon, Engineer (x2), and Inspector.
- A blank card for players to create their own unique character card.
- Two rule cards explaining the expansion.
The new destination and character cards are shuffled into the destination ticket deck after players have drawn their initial destination cards. While the destination cards simply function as normal destinations, the characters each have special rules associated with them. Engineer cards can be played to allow the player to search the entire destination ticket deck and select a desired destination. The remaining character cards provide various score bonuses at the end of the game if certain conditions are fulfilled.
USA 1910
The second expansion, Ticket to Ride: USA 1910, contains large format reprints of all the cards from the original deck, including 4 routes with revised point values. Additionally, the expansion adds 35 new destination tickets (with the 1910 logo in the upper right hand corner), a new 15 point Globetrotter bonus card for the most completed tickets, and the 4 destination tickets from the long out-of-print Mystery Train expansion. Released at the 2006 Essen game festival, it also includes three new ways to play Ticket to Ride with the USA 1910 expansion, in addition to using the original deck as described in the game's standard rules.Europa 1912
On September 9, 2009, Days of Wonder announced that the Ticket to Ride Europa 1912 expansion was expected to be released on October 22 in Europe and October 28 in the USA. The expansion includes 101 destination tickets - the 46 original tickets, plus 55 new ones that enables 3 new variants to the Ticket to Ride Europe map:- Europe Expanded, which adds 19 new routes to the original 46
- Big Cities of Europe, with tickets to 9 major European cities
- Mega Europe, which uses all the new routes as well as the 46 original Destination Tickets.
Europa 1912 also introduces Warehouses and Depots - two new game elements that brings a new layer of strategy to all versions of Ticket to Ride. During the game, train cards are added to the warehouses. Players who build a route to a city that includes a depot can collect those cards, making them an important part of any strategy.
Switzerland
Ticket to Ride: Switzerland, originally released as part of the computer game, was released as a board game expansion in 2007. The game features several changes. The first is that it only uses 40 train markers (instead of the usual 45). The second is that 'Locomotive' cards may only be used for tunnels (instead of as general wildcards). Lastly, some routes end at specific national borders rather than cities. To play this extension, one needs to have either the original game Ticket to Ride or the spinoffs Ticket to Ride: Europe or Ticket to Ride: Nordic Countries. The spinoff Ticket to Ride: Märklin may not be used as a foundation for this extension, because it does not contain the same amount and distribution of wagon cards; however, the Dice Expansion and Ticket to Ride: Märklin can together provide a foundation for Ticket to Ride: Switzerland, since the dice replace the cards. Using Ticket to Ride: Europe as the sole foundation for the Ticket to Ride: Switzerland extension produces one minor omission from the scoring rules because Ticket to Ride: Europe contains no train route lengths of five. The original Ticket to Ride rules and those of Ticket to Ride: Nordic Countries provide that a train with five cars scores ten points. Ticket to Ride: Nordic Countries also has the additional advantage that players already associate the different-looking locomotives of that game with the rule that they can only be used for tunnels or ferries, the same rule that exists in Ticket to Ride: Switzerland (although it has no ferries).Dice Expansion
The Ticket to Ride Dice Expansion, compatible with any map (although the 9-train route in Nordic Countries is unclaimable with this expansion), was released in 2008. Instead of drawing train car cards, players roll dice and use them to claim routes, take destination tickets, or perform other actions. Tunnel dice are used instead of drawing cards when players try to build tunnels in maps that include them.Unofficial expansions
Fans of "Ticket to ride" have created their own board for this game, which can be printed for private use, and played with the original wagons and cards. Links to unofficial expansions can be found in the external links section.Spinoffs
