Perhaps my family's first meta-gateway game, leading into the gateway game which is TTR! The simplified rules and gameplay work great for younger kids. I sought some rule clarifications: you may discard tickets for any reason, and you also claim tickets immediately (even when just topdecked). We play with an equal # of turns variant.

Good for children, but very random, even more than "full version". All tickets give the same points and they have different difficulty. Short tracks give huge advantage to players who draw wild cards. At least it's short enough to keep child interested.

Board looks very chaotic during the game and I needed to stay very focused to see the connection between some cities, especially when there were more and more trains. I think it's matter of too contrasting colors and too big distances between tracks. It was a bit tiring at first play after being used to regular of TtR where board is super clear.
