Ticket to Ride

[nlbarber]

So we managed another evening of gaming in the hotel lobby, this time 5 of us playing Ticket to Ride. That was lots of fun, too--it was the first time playing it for 3 of us, so I suspect the overall strategic level was pretty low. I was the 3rd highest scorer, but did manage to get the longest train. I think I was the only one with northern contracts, so the competition was for the routes in the middle of the country.

T. and K. say Ticket to Ride Europe is better, norabombay--have you played it? I'm now going to have to lobby for one of them to bring a copy to the next database test (3 weeks away). We'll keep the gaming going...

Europe is like TTR.

Only bigger
more cities
more missions
super missions
bridges
and stations

So it's a very similar game, only more complex.

I heart it.

Hmm...a line of train games that I've never played. And more importantly, that #2 Son the train and boardgame fan has never heard of.

*chuckles evilly*

(Oh, and are you familiar with Mayfair Games "crayon" series of railbuilding games? Highly recommended.)

I'm not a big gamer, so I haven't seen them. But T. says "oh, yes, we'll have to bring one of those along next time." I think my gaming experience is going to be going up rather rapidly...
