First and foremost, if you want a game about trains look elsewhere. While the pieces may look like trains and the cards may have trains on them, there is no “train experience” to be had here. The principle mechanic of the game is collecting cards to fill spaces and create networks, and that mechanic is implemented in an abstract enough way that you could shape the pieces and artwork to be anything and it would be exactly the same game. The level of abstraction is such that this game’s utility as a “transition game” for non-gamers is very limited, you’d be better off with Settlers or Carcassonne.
For people that are already serious gamers, sadly, there’s just not that much here to love. The game play is strongly luck based, the strategic options are extremely limited (and sometimes non-existant), and the theming is poorly implemented.
If you want to play a game based on trains, I recommend the Empire Builder Series, if you want a transition game to get new people interested in gaming I recommend Carcassonne or Settlers of Catan. Unfortunately I can’t think of anyone to whom I would recommend Ticket to Ride.

“Ticket to Ride/Europe” provides an opportunity for players of all ages not only to learn a bit of European geography when “traveling by train” between major cities, but also to hone their competitive strategy skills as “destinations” are achieved “secretly.” (Germany and USA versions are also available.)

Ticket to Ride Europe is a great game – educational and fun – recieved quickly and in perfect condition. Not meant to be durable – cards, small pieces – not for children.

We bought this game because my sister has the original game, but wanted a different variation of it. It has just enough differences to make it more interesting without being too difficult. My 12 year son loves to play it with us and we have introduced it to many other people, ranging in age from 15 to 74 and they liked it too! We took it with us on vacation and it was perfect for those “in between” times when nothing was going on. I never heard “I’m bored” on our trip. We even found places to play it in the airport while on layovers. The game arrived quickly after I ordered it.
