Ticket To Ride Board Game

We are big on playing games as a family. The most obvious factor when choosing a game is that it be very fun for each member of the family to play. The second criteria that we try to meet is that it be educational in some way, imparting knowledge or helping them learn strategy. The board game Ticket to Ride meets both criteria with flying colors.

Ticket to Ride is a game that was recommended to me by several homeschool families. It is great for learning and teaching about geography. The original version (there are several add-ons) teaches about the North American landscape. It is an award-winning strategy game that challenges players who are age eight and above to complete multiple train routes connecting major cities. As miniature trains begin to populate the board map of North America, secret city-to-city rail connections are completed or blocked by ruthless competitors. In addition to the North American version of Ticket to Ride there is also a Europe version. These games might be just what you need to help kids struggling with their geography or social studies lessons or classes and make family game night just a bot more exciting.

This game is made by Days of Wonder which a great company that makes some amazingly fun games.
