Our family loves board games, particularly strategy based board games. We've been building our collection the past few years. One of our first strategy based board games was the original Ticket to Ride. The goal of the game is to collect the right cards to build trains that connect cities. You earn points for building trains, completing destinations, etc. We've had a lot of fun with this game and it's one of my 8 year old's favorites. This past Christmas she received Ticket to Ride Europe.
Ticket to Ride Europe
Ticket to Ride Europe is very similar to Ticket to Ride but the game board is a map of Europe with European cities. The goal is the same. You build trains, complete destinations, and try to outscore your opponents.

There are a few of cool differences between the original Ticket to Ride and this version. The first is the addition of ferries. There are paths over water that require you to use the special locomotive cards. A second addition is tunnels. To travel through a tunnel there is a chance you'll have to play more cards then expected. The final addition is the use of train stations. The train stations allow you to connect from one city to another if the path is already blocked by another player.
These differences throw in several twists and add in more critical thinking! If you're a fan of Ticket to Ride, I highly recommend you add Ticket to Ride Europe to your board game collection.
