First Journey launched in 2016 as an exclusive item in Target stores[11] and is designed for children ages 6 and up. This version is for 2 to 4 players. The board is smaller than the basic version, connections are shorter and the playing time is faster. There are no points in this game, but players run to complete six destination tickets. In 2017, Days of Wonder will also create a version for Europe, with the same rules but a European map. Starting in 2011, Days of Wonder began releasing expansions consisting of new maps. Each game introduces new rules specific to this version and requires pieces to play step by step: USA, Europe, Germany or Nordic countries. The following map collections have been published so far:[15] “train” has many different meanings, not just “train” (much like the English word “set”, which – if you look for it in a dictionary – has dozens of meanings); One of its other meanings is “movement” in the sense of a game like chess. For example, the word “Zugzwang” comes from chess: it literally translates to “Zugzwang” and describes a situation where every move you can make weakens your position, but chess rules say you have to make a move. The iPhone version was released on November 16, 2011 and is a simplified version of the iPad game. [26] Online play was added as an update on February 2, 2012, and users can also play a multiplayer game over a local network via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. [27] The company released a revised version of the digital game in November 2015. [28] The fact is that if “Ticket to Ride” in German is a clever pun that uses a colloquial phrase to sum up the fact that it is a game, and that it involves movement, in English, there is no way to do it – at least not with a direct word-for-word translation.

“Step by step” just doesn`t: it just sounds lame. The translators were looking for a well-known phrase that could describe the game well and, most importantly, was memorable.

The better your problem and question are described, the easier it is for other Days of Wonder owners to give you a good answer. In turn, a player can claim any route on the board that has not yet been claimed, whether or not the route helps complete their destination tickets. The routes themselves accumulate points, as mentioned above, but routes that are not connected to a player`s destination will not help them reach the destination or complete their destination ticket. Log in or register (free and only takes a few minutes) to participate in this question. The original version of the game is played on a board that depicts a railway map of the United States and southern Canada.

Subsequently, localized editions were published, showing maps of other countries, cities and regions. Players collect and play train carriage cards to claim train routes on the map. Points are earned based on the length of the sections claimed, who completes the longest continuous railway and whether the player can connect to specific remote cities by drawing ticket cards. The Xbox Live Arcade version was released on June 25, 2008 and allows you to play with up to five people on Xbox Live or four people on the same console and can use the Xbox Live Vision camera. [22] The game is called Train to Train in German, Adventures on the Rail in France, Train Adventures in Spanish. The names are not direct translations of each other. The card game was released in the summer of 2008 and features a similar art style and theme, as well as a general game mechanic from the collection of scenery. The card game is playable in 30-45 minutes and supports 2-4 players. Players start with 1 locomotive card and 7 other random train cards in their hands.

Players will also receive 6 destination tickets, of which they will need to keep at least 1. Destination tickets have 1 to 5 colored dots corresponding to the colors of the train tickets. To complete a destination ticket, players must move the cards from their hand to their station (playing area directly in front of the player) and finally to their pile on the track (points area). During the game, players can “steal” another player by playing more of a certain color than their opponent has in their rail yard.
