*Welcome, WELCOME!
All aboard the hype train! Next stop: your soonest board-gaming night!
Choooooooooooo!*
We are so tremendously excited to have this game on Board Game Arena right now for all to play, 20 years after its first release.
You do not know about it?
With elegantly simple gameplay, Ticket to Ride can be learned in under 15 minutes. Players collect cards of various types of train cars they then use to claim railway routes in North America. The longer the routes, the more points they earn. Additional points come to those who fulfil Destination Tickets– goal cards that connect distant cities- and to the player who builds the longest continuous route.
"The rules are simple enough to write on a train ticket: each turn you either draw more cards, claim a route, or get additional Destination Tickets," says Ticket to Ride author, Alan R. Moon. "The tension comes from being forced to balance greed– adding more cards to your hand, and fear– losing a critical route to a competitor."
Since its introduction and numerous subsequent awards, Ticket to Ride has become the epitome of a "gateway game." It is simple enough to be taught in a few minutes, but with enough action and tension to keep all players involved and in the game for the duration.

There are plenty of people to thank for bringing this game online, but most of our love will go first to thoun, who developed the game for Board Game Arena. It was not easy to bring the same level of quality the original app has, and thanks to him, you can play it effortlessly on pretty much any web-connected device. And if you encounter any bugs, just let us know using the bug report system.
Nothing would have been possible without Alan R.Moon, who designed the game, and of course the wonderful team behind Days of Wonders who publish this game and gave the green light.
What about expansions, you may ask?
Some will come. Later. But for now, please consider playing the good old map that made your first dive into this game. It may be a long time since you have played it, so it might be good for you to feel again what you like or not about this never-aging game.
And that's it for this weeks WRT!
**Let's bet on the audience: will it beat Catan? Or Wingspan? Will it replace Carcassonne?
**Only the future will tell.
And where we're going,
we don't need roads...
But rails!
See you next week, and until then, take care and play fair!
VOZOVNICA ZA VOŽNJO: Čas je za IZBIRO – IZBERITE svoje lokomotive!
VABLJENI, VABLJENI!
Vsi na hype vlak!
Naslednja postaja: vaš najhitrejši večer družabnih iger!
Choooooooooooo!
Tako zelo smo navdušeni, da imamo to igro na Board Game Arena prav zdaj, da jo lahko igrajo vsi, 20 let po njeni prvi izdaji.
Ne veš za to?
Z elegantno preprostim igranjem se lahko igre Ticket to Ride naučite v manj kot 15 minutah.
Igralci zbirajo karte različnih vrst vagonov, ki jih nato uporabijo za zahtevanje železniških poti v Severni Ameriki.
Daljše kot so poti, več točk si zaslužijo.
Dodatne točke prejmejo tisti, ki izpolnijo ciljne karte – karte ciljev, ki povezujejo oddaljena mesta – in igralec, ki zgradi najdaljšo neprekinjeno pot.
"Pravila so dovolj preprosta, da jih lahko zapišete na vozovnico za vlak: vsak zavoj bodisi izvlečete več kart, zahtevate pot ali dobite dodatne ciljne vozovnice," pravi avtor vozovnice za vožnjo Alan R.

"Napetost izvira iz tega, da si prisiljen uravnotežiti pohlep – dodajanje več kart v roko in strah – izgubiti kritično pot proti tekmecu."
Od svoje uvedbe in številnih poznejših nagrad je Ticket to Ride postal utelešenje "igre prehodov". Je dovolj preprost, da se ga naučimo v nekaj minutah, vendar z dovolj akcije in napetosti, da ostanejo vsi igralci vključeni in v igri ves čas.

Številnim ljudem se lahko zahvalimo, da smo to igro predstavili na spletu, a največ naše ljubezni bo šlo najprej k thou, ki je igro razvil za Board Game Arena.
Ni bilo lahko doseči enake ravni kakovosti, kot jo ima izvirna aplikacija, in zahvaljujoč njemu jo lahko brez težav predvajate na skoraj vseh napravah, povezanih s spletom.
In če naletite na kakršne koli napake, nas obvestite s sistemom za poročanje o napakah.
Nič ne bi bilo mogoče brez Alana R.Moona, ki je zasnoval igro, in seveda čudovite ekipe za Days of Wonders, ki je izdala to igro in dala zeleno luč.
Kaj pa razširitve, boste morda vprašali?
Nekateri bodo prišli.
Kasneje.
Toda za zdaj razmislite o igranju dobrega starega zemljevida, s katerim ste se prvič potopili v to igro.
Morda je že dolgo minilo, odkar ste jo igrali, zato bi bilo dobro, da znova začutite, kaj vam je pri tej igri, ki se nikoli ne stara, všeč ali ne.
In to je to za ta teden WRT!
Stavimo na občinstvo: bo premagalo Catana?
Ali razpon kril?
Bo nadomestil Carcassonne?
Samo prihodnost bo pokazala.
In kam gremo,
ne rabimo cest...
Ampak tirnice!
Se vidimo naslednji teden, do takrat pa pazite in igrajte pošteno!
