Staying home during spring break? Then take a train ticket and play the board game Ticket to Ride!
Designed by Alana R. Moon in 2004, Ticket to Ride is a railroad-themed board game. With elegantly simple gameplay, Ticket to Ride can be learned in under 15 minutes, while providing players with intense strategic and tactical decisions every turn. Players collect cards of various types of train cars they then use to claim railway routes in North America. The longer the routes, the more points they earn. Additional points come to those who fulfill Destination Tickets—goal cards that connect distant cities; and to the player who builds the longest continuous route. There are several country expansions out, and even a children’s version of the game.
Ticket to Ride has won several awards and is one of the most popular board games in the world. The rules are simple enough but offers enough complexity that it offers continual enjoyment. Children can learn geography and have a great time playing it as well.
Come by the Eastwood Library to check out this and many more board games.
