What is ticket to ride?

Ticket to Ride is a board game for two or more players aged eight years and upwards, by Alan R. Moon. It was published in 2004 by Days of Wonder and has sold more than 8 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling board games of all time.

The game's objective is to connect cities across North America by building railway routes. Players use a deck of cards to collect train cards, which they can then use to build routes. The game ends when any player completes six routes, or there are no more cards in the deck. The player who completes the most routes wins the game.

Ticket to Ride has been praised for its easy-to-learn rules, its quick playing time, and its high level of replay value. The game has been translated into more than 30 languages and has won numerous awards, including the Spiel des Jahres (Game of the Year) award in Germany in 2004.

There have been several expansion sets released for Ticket to Ride, which add new maps and rules to the game. The first expansion, Europe, was published in 2005. It adds a map of Europe to the game, as well as new train cards and rules. Other expansions include Asia, India, and Nordic Countries, each of which adds a new map and rules to the game.

Ticket to Ride has also been adapted into several video games, including Ticket to Ride: First Journey, Ticket to Ride: Europe, and Ticket to Ride: Asia. The video games are similar to the board game, but they offer additional features and gameplay options.
