About this gift

The introductory version of the acclaimed Ticket to Ride series, designed specifically for younger players. Players collect coloured train cards and use them to claim railway routes across the map — the player who completes the most routes and reaches the most destinations wins. The simplified rules remove some of the complexity of the adult game while preserving the core satisfaction of building a railway network and blocking opponents' routes. A genuine gateway into strategy board gaming.

Because Ticket to Ride is one of the most beloved strategy games ever made, and this junior version makes it genuinely accessible from age 6 without dumbing it down so far it loses the appeal. It is the perfect gateway game into a lifetime of strategy board gaming.

A brilliant birthday or Christmas gift for ages 6-10 who is ready for their first proper strategy game. Works beautifully as a standalone gift. A wonderful godparent or grandparent gift — the introduction to a game that many families play for decades.
