Ticket to Ride is a cross-country train adventure in which players
collect and play matching train cards to claim railway routes connecting cities
throughout North America.
The longer the routes, the more points they earn.
Additional points come to those who can fulfill their Destination Tickets by
connecting two distant cities, and to the player who builds the longest
continuous railway.
The object of the game is to score the highest number of total points. Points
can be scored by:
- Claiming a Route between two cities on the map;
- Successfully completing a Continuous Path of routes
between two cities listed on your Destination Ticket(s);
- Or by completing the Longest Continuous Path of
routes.
Points are lost if you do not successfully complete the
route given on your Destination Ticket(s).
