Ein sehr gutes Spiel

The Germany board isn't one of my favourite boards and if you're looking for expansions, I'd recommend most other versions. However this one comes as a fully fledged game of its own, meaning you don't need to own another version to play this. All T2R boards are fantastic, even the ones that don't stand out as much.

This is a great game for a family game night or a get together with friends. It is quite fun for different ages from older kids to seniors. Some simple addition math skills are required, along with a bit of strategizing, and there is a bit of chance involved too, so altogether quite engaging. Board and cards and train tokens are well made. The activity moves along at a good pace, when we have played it might take about 1 to 1 and 1/2 hours to play one game. We have 3 versions of this game I think, each with a bit of a unique aspect. We would recommend this game.

Da appassionato della saga Ticket to Ride, non potevo farmi scappare questa edizione dedicata alla Germania. Premetto che è una versione stand-alone (scatola completa, non serve il gioco base per giocare), perfetta sia per chi inizia, sia per i veterani che cercano qualcosa di nuovo. La vera chicca di questa edizione, che la distingue nettamente da USA o Europa, è la meccanica dei Passeggeri. Oltre a costruire le tratte ferroviarie, bisogna raccogliere dei "Meeple" (omini colorati) posizionati nelle città. Questo aggiunge un livello di strategia in più molto interessante: non basta solo collegare le città per gli obiettivi, ma bisogna correre per accaparrarsi i passeggeri prima degli avversari per ottenere punti bonus fondamentali a fine partita. La mappa è sviluppata in verticale e offre connessioni molto varie, rendendo il gioco fluido e mai bloccato. I materiali sono, come sempre per Days of Wonder, eccellenti: carte resistenti, tabellone chiaro e miniature curate. Lo consiglio vivamente: è leggermente più profondo del classico USA grazie ai passeggeri, ma rimane accessibile a tutti. Un'ottima aggiunta alla collezione per serate in famiglia o con amici. Acquisto top!

The product came within a few days of ordering undamaged, and all contents were accounted for. Ticket to Ride (North America) is the first entry of the series and (IMO) the best one to start with for new players, as it doesn't have added special game mechanics (i.e. railroad stations) compared to later versions (i.e., Europe, Japan, etc.) of the game. Ticket to Ride (North America) is an easy-to-learn game as the player has one of two actions per round, drawing or playing train cards to create an entire route from one city to another. The only small negative aspect I find with the game is the size of the train cards. It's half the size of the Ride to Ticket (Europe) version and hard to hold with big hands.
