Ticket to Ride is an easy to learn game for 2 to 5 players. Three or more is ideal. Each player draws three tickets and has to choose which routes to fill. You may keep one route, or all three. Each route has a different value depending on how difficult or long the route may be to complete. You draw train car cards of different colors and try to save up to "buy" your route. The person who gets the most points at the end wins. Very easy to play. It is my 9 year old's favorite game. We love it so much, we just ordered Ticket to Ride Europe.
