Ticket to Ride Board Game Just $26.99 Shipped for Amazon Prime Members (Reg. $55)

I played many board games as a kid and most of them came down to luck. You got stuck on one path where dice or a spinner would randomly decide your fate. Ticket to Ride is not one of those games. Players collect cards to claim routes, and longer routes get you more points. I love the fact that it is easy to learn (recommended ages 8+), but players still need to use strategy in order to win the game. You can try to complete routes to make your connected path longer, or you can claim routes that interfere with the routes that your opponents want to claim. Having more players also affects strategy, because you have to try and claim the routes you need as soon as possible. The bottom line, I love this game and recommend it to everyone.

I bought this for my teenage son after he played it with his older brothers and sisters and their friends. Excellent for all age groups – young teens up to adults. Interesting and entertaining but not highly complex or frustrating. If you’re looking to extend family game night into your tween and teen children years – this is an awesome game.
