Ticket to Ride: Rails & Sails takes the familiar gameplay of Ticket to Ride and expands it across the globe — which means that you’ll be moving across water, of course, and that’s where the sails come in.

It's very similar to playing 2 games of ticket to ride simultaneously on 2 separate boards, with wild cards drawn in 1 game able to be used in the other. It takes twice as long as a normal game with roughly the same amount of fun. Overall, this is a significant step backwards for the Ticket to Ride franchise, offering a longer, less compelling game that's just plain less fun. I will not play again if I can avoid it. Note that this is a single play impression on the world map. The Great Lakes map might be more compelling. If I am asked to play this again, I'll ask for that map.

Played two player game. Got extremely lucky on my ticket route draws. Ended up comboing all three of my Harbours for a win of 327 to 151. Felt extremely unbalanced as a result. I enjoy the added complication of managing your trains vs ships, but still prefer TTR: Europe for the best base game. Have played Rails and Sails 2, 3, and 4 player. Prefer 2 and 3 player games due to reduced length compared to 4 players. Honestly disappointed by the game, it seems to come down to getting lucky and getting tickets that combo with the harbours.

Really enjoyed this version of TTR, and I think it's probably my favorite now, though I've only played Eruope the once. I really like the addition of picking between boats or trains, and having to collect two different card types for either. Being able to replace the card market with EITHER type regardless of what you picked is interesting too, giving an option to try and hamper other players. The harbors are interesting as well, offering points if you manage to build them on your connected routes, but also a slight point loss for those left unbuilt. We played the Great Lakes map, which has most of the destinations in the lower left side of the map- in a 3 player game, one player ended up nearly completely blocked. Would like to try the other map to see if it's more balanced on destination spread! All in all, would be happy to play again!
