Ticket to Ride

Modern Hobby Strategy Games

Ticket to Ride is a modern board game in which players collect matching sets of colored train cards to claim railway routes across a map, connecting cities and completing secret destination tickets to score points. It was designed by Alan R. Moon and first published in 2004 by Days of Wonder. The game is widely credited, alongside titles such as Catan, with helping to popularize modern designer board games with a broad, non-hobbyist audience, and it has since been released in many geographic map editions.
