Board Games with Scott 011 - Ticket to Ride

Board Games with Scott is a weekly video explaination and review of a board game. This week, Scott Nicholson talks about Ticket to Ride, which is an excellent game for people new to the world of modern board games. It's a game about collecting sets of cards and claiming train routes on the board.

Also, all BGWS episodes after 014 are over at http://boardgameswithscott.com and are not on YouTube.

So during my turn you said if I didn't like any of the face up cards I could draw just one card that's facing down or do I get 2??

[snicholson]

You get 2. Or you can draw one face down, and then see if that changes your mind about any of the face up cards (except a locomotive, which has to be the first pick).

I like this, a review on boardgames, your very friendly, and you explained the game well, so Im looking forward to more reviews. If you can, can you do one on Age of Steam (Original), and Railroad Tycoon anytime soon? I want to compare them with Ticket to Ride, because I'm interested in one of these three. Good review, and keep it up.

[snicholson]

Ticket to Ride is simple. Railroad Tycoon is much more complex, and Age of Steam is complex and unforgiving.

Cheezmaniak . . . you're a tool. Scott's work is great. Helping us gamers better decide on where to spend our time and money, (both are precious commodities). If you're not into board games, why waste your time posting something that benefits no-one or nothing but your ego. Enjoy your day - Cheez. Hope your life gets better..

Thanks for your reviews! They're excellent! Fun and worthy of television if you ask me.

Is anyone else with me in that this is one of their top games to play? I adored this game from the second I found it. Yes, it's a gateway game so i'm kind of asking my friends to take a step down to play it with me, but this game was so damn charming that I gave up my second tier games and i'm okay with that, it's a fun and adorable game.

I like to play trains and make people say bad words

That's really cool that you replied! I just bought this game for a friend based on some reviews and I am excited to play it myself. I do have another question, however. So if the top card does make me change my mind about the face up cards then what? I can put it back to the bottom of the pile and take 2 face up cards? Or keep that card & wait until it's my turn again? I am sure the instructions will tell me when the game arrives but I'm excited after your review & may get this for me too!
