This is how we do it European style

12: Ticket to Ride: Europe

by Alan Moon

Players: 2 - 5
Ages: 8+
Time: 60+ minutes
Type of game: Family / Route building

Reccomended?: Yes

A slightly friendlier Ticket to Ride variant with the addition of stations. These cool little things allow you to ride your opponents train from 1 city to another allowing to complete that difficult journey.

Each station you don't use is worth an extra 4 VP though so you've got think carefully about when and if you should use them.

At the end of the game the player with the longest unbroken route of his own trains gets an additional 10 points.

The board can also look very crowded after a 4 player game as above so, even with the addition of the stations, 5 player games can still get a little nasty!
