Ticket to Ride in it’s original format was already a pretty simple game, which is why it is widely regarded as a great gateway game! It was one of the first games we introduced to friends, some of who went on to buy it for themselves and now play regularly with us, so I am grateful to the game for sure, but I can’t remember the last time I played it. 45 Trains in Europe, hence the shorter play time!ĭisclaimer: This game was provided by the publisher, but my reviews are always 100% honest and all photos and opinions are my own! GAME PLAY 6/10 Game end condition is the same, two or fewer Buses remaining, but there are only 17 Buses per player, vs.The game board is much smaller, the box and cards are also smaller.
The longest route in London is just 4 Buses.There is no bonus for the longest train.There are no Long Destination Ticket cards.There are no Stations, Ferries or Tunnels.I believe some of the below are also not present in the US version of Ticket to Ride: I’ve only actually played Ticket to Ride: Europe so my comparison is based on that version of the original game. Each player, including the one who triggered the game end, gets one last turn and then it’s on to the final scoring for all the completed, or incomplete Destination Ticket cards! Ticket to Ride: London vs. The game end is triggered once one player is down to two or fewer Buses in their personal supply. Completing District two will score you two victory points. In the photo above, District two requires you connect four stops, but you are not required to connect every route between each number, just enough to connect them. If you connect these numbers with your Buses, you will immediately score points equal to the district number. Ticket to Ride: London introduces Districts, which are represented on the board by numbers between each route. Each time you claim a route you also score victory points depending on how many buses were placed. To claim a route you discard a number of Transportation cards equal to the number of Buses needed on that route (between one and four), then add your plastic Bus markers to that route on the board. On your turn you can pick up two Transportation cards from the face up supply or take blindly from the top of the deck, building up a hand of cards. To build up your routes you must first collect Transportation cards. During the game you can choose to take more Destination Ticket cards but while completed cards will score you victory points, any that are incomplete at the end of the game will subtract victory points, adding a push your luck element to the game! In Ticket to Ride: London each player starts the game with two Destination Ticket cards which will be their objectives for the game.
