![]() There are a lot of little animations in this game when routes are claimed, tickets completed and even cards selected. Routes are claimed by moving the collection of cards need over the route you want to claim. During turns, players will either touch the cards that they want to put into their hand or claim routes on the board. Everything is very clear to read and see what is going on. I must say that the graphics on the iPad version are spectacular. Its all laid out very well and uses the space nicely. The bottom of the screen shows the contents of the players hand. On the right side is the destination tickets and train cards available for the player to chose on their turn. The top of the screen has a running total of score and information about your opponents. The board is shown on one screen in the app and it has everything you need. The app walks you through an entire game allowing you to know the ins and outs of the game very quickly. The game also has tons of information about how to play the game and full tutorials. I have had issues with finding other people to play, but if you can find them, the online works well. I have used all of these and they all work well. The game has solo, online, local wi-fi or Bluetooth, and pass & play options for the player. The screen has all the options you would need. When you get into the setup of the game, it works quite well. The first time you start the application, there will be a little tutorial on all the features and extra things in the app. The iOS game does a very nice job of giving the player everything they need right out of the box. Also, the player with the longest contiguous set of trains will gain points to their total and the player with the most points at the end of the game is the winner. Each player will then get one more turn and then destination tickets will be scored. Play will continue with players drawing cards into their hand, taking more destination tickets and claiming routes until a player has only two trains left to play on the board. Points are gained from the routes and the longer the route the better. ![]() Players will also gain train cards that they will use to claim train routes between the cities. The player will lose points if they cannot complete the route by the end of the game. These tickets will reward players with victory points if they are able to connect the two cities on the card with trains of their color. At the start of the game, player will get set of destination tickets. The game revolves around players claiming train routes on the map. Game Overview The game screen on the tablet will look very familiar to players of the tabletop version. I have played the iPhone version as well and, besides some graphical changes, this review applies to both apps. Today we will look primarily at the iPad version of Ticket to Ride. We have yet to do a full review, but, spoiler alert, we like it. It is a very fun, interactive, and easy to learn game that people can understand how to play fully within three turns. One of the great games to play with friends and family is Ticket to Ride. Taking an extremely complicated game like Twilight Imperium 3 and playing that with person that has only played games from Parker Brothers is similar to me trying to do brain surgery. Gateway games are a necessary game for any gamers’ collection. With that out of the way, lets dive into our first iOS board game review. In the end, we will judge the game as a must buy, if it goes on sale pick it up, or just stick with the tabletop version. For these reviews, our rating system is slightly different then we do for our typical reviews. For the basis of these reviews, we will be looking at the experience of playing the game and compare it to the physical board game.
