The stakes: $1 million in a winner-takes-all competition. The objective: to see the most cities in North America - in just 7 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTicket to Ride is a cross-country train adventure game where players collect train cards that enable them to claim railway routes connecting cities throughout North America.

Moon. \"The tension comes from being forced to balance greed – adding more cards to your hand, and fear – losing a critical route to a competitor.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTicket to Ride continues in the tradition of Days of Wonder's big format board games featuring high-quality illustrations and components including: an oversize board map of North America, 225 custom-molded train cars, 144 illustrated cards, and wooden scoring markers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince its introduction and numerous subsequent awards, Ticket to Ride has become the BoardGameGeek epitome of a \"gateway game\" -- simple enough to be taught in a few minutes, and with enough action and tension to keep new players involved and in the game for the duration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of the Ticket to Ride series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAwards \u0026amp; Honors\u003cbr\u003e2010 Hungarian Board Game Award Nominee\u003cbr\u003e2008 Ludoteca Ideale Official Selection Winner\u003cbr\u003e2008 Gra Roku Game of the Year Nominee\u003cbr\u003e2006 Japan Boardgame Prize Best Japanese Game Winner\u003cbr\u003e2006 Japan Boardgame Prize Best Japanese Game Nominee\u003cbr\u003e2006 Hra roku Winner\u003cbr\u003e2006 Hra roku Nominee\u003cbr\u003e2005 Vuoden Peli Family Game of the Year Winner\u003cbr\u003e2005 Vuoden Peli Family Game of the Year Nominee\u003cbr\u003e2005 Juego del Año Winner\u003cbr\u003e2005 Juego del Año Finalist\u003cbr\u003e2005 Diana Jones Award for Excellence in Gaming Winner\u003cbr\u003e2005 Diana Jones Award for Excellence in Gaming Nominee\u003cbr\u003e2005 As d'Or - Jeu de l'Année Winner\u003cbr\u003e2005 As d'Or - Jeu de l'Année Nominee\u003cbr\u003e2005 Årets Spill Best Family Game Nominee\u003cbr\u003e2005 Årets Spel Best Family Game Winner\u003cbr\u003e2004 Tric Trac Nominee\u003cbr\u003e2004 Spiel des Jahres Winner\u003cbr\u003e2004 Spiel des Jahres Nominee\u003cbr\u003e2004 Origins Awards Best Board Game Winner\u003cbr\u003e2004 Nederlandse Spellenprijs Nominee\u003cbr\u003e2004 Meeples Choice Award Winner\u003cbr\u003e2004 Meeples Choice Award Nominee\u003cbr\u003e2004 Japan Boardgame Prize Best Advanced Game Winner\u003cbr\u003e2004 Japan Boardgame Prize Best Advanced Game Nominee\u003cbr\u003e2004 International Gamers Awards - General Strategy; Multi-player Nominee\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Days Of Wonder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39629365543034,"sku":"VR-18059","price":69.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1425\/8892\/products\/ticket-to-ride-18059_8e6e8.jpg?v=1638858652","url":"https:\/\/www.ozziecollectables.com\/products\/ticket-to-ride-2","provider":"Ozzie Collectables","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
