Ticket to Ride First Journey

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Players of all ages can now venture across America by train in Alan R. Moon’s Ticket to Ride: First Journey. With a brand new map and simplified rules, First Journey is the perfect way to introduce new players to the game of cross-country travel. Just like in Ticket to Ride, players collect train cards, claim routes, and try to connect cities coast-to-coast. In First Journey, though, routes are shorter, train cards are drawn straight from the deck, and the game ends when one player completes six tickets, claiming the Golden Ticket as their prize. Climb aboard, travelers, your incredible First Journey awaits!


• Based on the award-winning board game Ticket to Ride
• Takes two to four adventurers across America by train
• Introduce younger players to Ticket to Ride with simplified rules
• Players race to finish six tickets before their fellow travelers
• Fast-paced and less than thirty minutes to play

Ages 6+
