Our family LOVES this game! Family game night inevitable involves at least one round of Ticket to Ride!  It's made for 2 to 5 players - occasionally when we have more than 5 players - we make everyone double up and play with teams.  But no one minds because it's such a fun game.  After the second or third time you play it - you'll come to pay more attention to what other players are doing - and it can get kinda cut throat... LOL
