Ticket to Ride

[Jermofoot]

I was just introduced to this game last week, and after two games I was hooked (even though I didn’t do too well…).  I played the American version, but bought the European version, as I heard it was slightly more complex and a bit more cutthroat.

I highly recommend this game as it is easy to learn, easy to play, and more likely to have participants than say Axis and Allies (and is quite a bit shorter).

Are there any variants, house rules, or strategies anyone would suggest?

My brother got it for Christmas and I played it twice over the holidays.  It’s a great game.  Dunno about any variations though.

Apparently the NA version won game of the year in 2006 (maybe 2005).
It’s fun as hell.

@Jermofoot This game is fun, easy to learn.

Ticket to Ride is fun. Another train game game that I’ve really been enjoying lately is Switch & Signal. It is a cooperative game designed by noted and acclaimed wargame designer David Thompson.

Where did Jermofoot go? He was an active member and great to chat with. I wonder where some of these people are now.
