"Ticket to Ride" is a popular board game where players collect train cards to claim railway routes across a map. The objective is to connect cities and complete destination tickets for points. The game features various maps, including the original United States version and expansions set in Europe and other regions. Players take turns drawing cards or placing trains on the board, strategizing to block opponents while completing their own routes. The game ends when a player runs out of trains, and the player with the most points wins. It is suitable for ages 8 and up and can be played by 2 to 5 players.
