Ticket to Ride (PC Digital Download) $2.25 (expired)

The game maker actually has the game you can try as well, if you are unsure if you would like the game. It has been awhile since I used up my free games, but I think you get like 10 games on a couple of the maps free to start.


I own the steam game, but I started playing it online here quite awhile ago. Days of Wonders' interface is slightly different than what you experience on steam but not by much, and the gameplay is the same. If you don't like the game here, it won't be different enough on steam for you to like it imo.

Quote from nico07 : Excellent board game. Though with real people playing the board game it becomes very crowded and stressful with four or five players. Absolutely, this is a flash style game that isn't demanding on your computers graphic processor.

Thanks!

Quote from coolzkillaz : I'm most surprised that Ticket is played competitively, being such a casual game.

There are layers to a lot of games that aren't initially seen. I played at a con on a whim and saw the game in a whole new light after seeing how the pros play.

Most of the higher profile niche games are played competitively, actually; Settlers of Catan, for example, is a pretty big deal, and that game is more mainstream than TTR, I would say.

Quote from trikster2 : The ipad version is also only $2. Which is the better platform, PC or iPAD? It would seem an ipad would be a natural for board game simulation? https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/t...54688?mt=8

I am a TTR fan. We have the board game, iPad version, and iPhone version. [BTW, the iPad version is $7. You must be referring to the iPhone or "Pocket" version, which is $2. The iPhone version can be played on the iPad, but the full app has more features.] Of those, the iPad version gets played the most, definitely. Not only is it fun on its own, but it's useful for car trips with the pass-and-play feature. It's much faster and easier to play the game digitally because you don't have to handle all the little game pieces, though nothing replaces the enjoyment of using a real board game with a group of friends.

I've purchased many of the additional maps, and the 1910 expansion is a great one -- both for the digital and the physical versions. For the physical version, it is necessary because the cards are bigger. The cards that come with the board game are too small to comfortably shuffle. For the digital version, the expansion adds a bunch of routes that change up the strategy. I've gotten over 200 points before in a single game using the Mega approach, and most of those were small routes. Once you get comfortable with the US version, try some of the other maps. They add different options, like tunnels and transfer stations and ferries and such, and require you to change your strategy a bit.

Waiting for this to be in an indie bundle with all DLCs.... PERFECT candidate, imho.

I concur, the iPad version is much nicer, but more expensive.

Wouldn't worry about AI gameplay unless you were looking to get the 'trophies', wifi play is easy and readily available with people online at most times during the day.

very fun game, bought it last night and stayed up way too late. Some graphical glitches, but it might have been my old laptop...

for some reason, when i go to play then select online (instead of solo) and number of players I cannot click the GO button ... its grayed out ... whats up with that?
if i go to more then online games, i can play just fine

You have to wait until the game is full to hit Go. Once it fills up it will beep at you incessantly to hit Go. At least mine does.

Thanks. I just bought the game. I'll rep too.

Is this multi player - not online players - on PC? if so, how easy is playing taking turns?

How wants to play with me?!?

Quote from chikkubhai : Is this multi player - not online players - on PC? if so, how easy is playing taking turns?

I think you're asking about "hotseat" multiplayer, where multiple players take turns on the same computer. That's not supported here. Single player (vs AI) and online multiplayer are supported.
