    Game is fantastic and enjoyable, but has a few shortcomings. The AI is terrible and I have yet to lose a game to the AI. The game needs a hotseat and LAN mode that lets you play more than one person against the computer. And the online mode desperately needs a game lobby. You can wait forever to fill a game with 4 or 5 players. It also lacks the option to invite and play with friendsGame is fantastic and enjoyable, but has a few shortcomings. The AI is terrible and I have yet to lose a game to the AI. The game needs a hotseat and LAN mode that lets you play more than one person against the computer. And the online mode desperately needs a game lobby. You can wait forever to fill a game with 4 or 5 players. It also lacks the option to invite and play with friends online. You can only play against opponents that the game picks for you. Basicly, you should only get this if you're a desperate Ticket to Ride fan with no friends, or if you're curious to the game, because it can in no way replace the boardgame version. I got it from an indie bundle during the sales and fell in love with it right away. While the game IS fun, I ended up ordering a physical copy from Amazon, because of the shortcomings in the digital edition.… Expand

    It's a decent little grab-bag styled game, it's apparently based off of a classic board game which I can imagine was more fun as a board game. On the computer it has multiple problems, mainly the online matchmaking (or lack thereof). With the AI not having a lot of intelligence, you'd rather play against other people, but it can be difficult without a dedicated server/lobby that actuallyIt's a decent little grab-bag styled game, it's apparently based off of a classic board game which I can imagine was more fun as a board game. On the computer it has multiple problems, mainly the online matchmaking (or lack thereof). With the AI not having a lot of intelligence, you'd rather play against other people, but it can be difficult without a dedicated server/lobby that actually works well. Playing it offline against AI gets stale very fast, you won't get a lot of enjoyment out of it unless you loved the board game as a kid (I never even knew about it, not sure how popular it was).

    The idea behind it is pretty cool though, but perhaps a little too simple. There's barely any strategy because picking cards becomes luck of the draw, so if you get lucky you get multiples of the same color card (which is good), if not, you end up with tons of different colors and can't go anywhere from there. I think the main reason why this game gets dull fast is solely the fact that it's too simple. There needs to be more variables to bring in more strategy and technique, like I imagine a strategic board game should have.

    It's not bad, but it's not amazing either, I wouldn't expect to get more than a couple hours of enjoyment before you get very bored. First time I played it I was bored after like 30 minutes. Maybe it's just not for me but I fail to find any other pros about this game. If there were a large online community, better matchmaking, and a bit more complexity, only then would I possibly recommend this game. But those are yet to be established, so currently I do not recommend Ticket to Ride unless you're itching to play your childhood board game.    … Expand
