October 2, 1900 - Phileas Fogg, fresh from winning his wager to circumnavigate the world in 80 days, has gathered a few friends around a good bottle of sherry in a cozy London club. This crew of adventurous revelers, jaded rentiers, and other aristocratic travelers enthusiastically discuss their past challenges. During the evening, spirits rise, and suddenly Phileas proposes a new impossible expedition! The stakes? 1 million dollars! The challenge? To cross the most American cities in less than 7 days!
The railway conquest of the 19th and early 20th centuries has always been a particularly popular subject for game creators. Ticket to Ride is a luxurious game in the same vein as Pirate's Cove or Mystery of the Abbey. The graphics beautifully depict the magnificent machines of the golden age of railway history, and like other Days of Wonder games, it benefits from impeccable support.
The easy-to-learn rules will allow you to travel across North America in magnificent "grand siècle" trains. By taking control of railway lines connecting the various cities of the United States, you will accumulate points, and the longer the journeys, the more lucrative they will be. Furthermore, you can earn additional points by serving certain destinations."
