Ticket To Ride Quiz – Route Cards, Trains and Longest Paths

Ticket to Ride, designed by Alan R. Moon and published in 2004, won the Spiel des Jahres that year. Players collect colored train cards and play them to claim routes between cities on a map.

Locomotives are wild, and longer routes score more points, with a six-car route worth 15. Destination tickets reward players for connecting two cities but cost points if left unfinished.

Each player has 45 trains, and when someone drops to two or fewer, everyone takes a final turn. The longest continuous path earns a 10-point bonus, and the Europe edition adds tunnels, ferries and stations.
