Fun game for the whole family
This game is SOO much fun, for kids and adults. We’ve always enjoyed the adult version, bit since having kids haven’t played much. My 7yo picked this right up, and even my 5 yr old is starting to figure it out. She plays with an adult still but she’s starting to play on her own. What I like is kids that can’t read yet don’t have to be able to read the names of the cities, because they also have symbols the kids can match to see where their train routes are. It is challenging, and has the kids use critical thinking skills at an age appropriate level. The size of the board is perfect. The quality is top notch. I will say if you’ve never played before, it takes some time to read the rules and understand how to play (even as an adult) but I would say, just watch a YouTube video. Once you get it, it’s easy. Highly recommend!

Ticket to ride a family favorite
My family loves the original ticket to ride and we love Halloween we had to buy this and try it. It was same concept as ticket to ride so it was easy. The quality was great just like the original. This game is a little shorter the board I think is smaller or has less places compared to the original. But a fun quick family game and something different. I hope they come up with more expansions.

El único pero es que no soporta 5 jugadore
Muy bueno, aún más sencillo para introducir a gente o partidas rápidas. Me encantó que no hay que sacar cuentas de ningún tipo y cómo variaron la ruta más larga por el "costa a costa". Logra tener involucrados al mismo tiempo niños y adultos de toda edad. Lo dicho, el TTR original soporta 2-5 jugadores, este solo 2-4, pero lo resolví sencillamente con unas reglas caseras
