Ticket to Ride: Europe takes you on a new train adventure across Europe. From Edinburgh to Constantinople and from Lisbon to Moscow, you’ll visit great cities of turn-of-the-century Europe. Like the original Ticket to Ride, the game remains elegantly simple, can be learned in 5 minutes, and appeals to both families and experienced gamers. Ticket to Ride: Europe is a complete, new game and does not require the original version.

Only one play, but very good - possibly the best in the series. After 2 plays I've realised that I prefer the original for the simplified rules and longer links.

Ticket to Ride: Europe is an above-average strategy game. There's a lot of planning and you really have to try to figure out what your opponents are doing, otherwise, they might take valuable tracks before you can. There's a fairly good skill element to this game, but if I have a complaint, it's that there is a significant luck element in which routes you draw at the beginning of the game. It can be difficult to win with some of the Western European routes, and there's one high-scoring route between two cities that vastly superior to all others. In this sense, the game ends up being a bit like Risk in that there are really only maybe 3-4 viable winning strategies against good players. All the same, it's still a fun game with a lot of strategy. I think somewhere around a "7" is probably an appropriate rating.

For those who don't like complicated games, this is a fun experience. The simplicity of the game, the look of the trains and the artwork remind me of the classic experience of playing games on Christmas Day. But as with Catan, for those who have seen what board games there are and can be, why would I ever play this except with non-gamers? The hobbits come back from the world of the Big Folk after having destroyed the ring amid many perilous adventures. And even though they appreciate the nostalgia and naive security of The Green Dragon's simple pleasures, things can never go back to the way they were.
