Ticket to Ride®

great digital fun!

It's a good rendition of [i]Ticket to Ride[/i] though there are thing I like better about this version and things I like better about the previous version. The UI is generally good and not massively different in layout from the old version, though I did like the old version's placement of the "Get new ticket" button better. The 3D elements are really nice, I like that the trains actually look like 3d trains with different cars and when you complete a route they have a really cool effect where it flips and gives you a 3D diorama of the train pulling in on the route. Generally it's a very [i]slick[/i] production but I think it's in that weird way where it's so slick that it lacks character compared to the humbler old version. The old version had this great art deco design to the UI and voice characters on the menus, neither of which is a critical feature but it felt inviting, like you were in this exciting world of early 20th century rail travel and discovery. This version's UI is very slick and white with rounded rectangles and it feels less like a world and more like... Apple products. It's a subjective nitpick but I feel like it lost some of the [i]charm[/i] of the old version. Something that did impress me was the music, I can see why they were proud enough of it to sell the soundtrack on it's own. The music [i]does[/i] have that feeling of adventure and I liked that the maps look like they're an actual country with grass and land moreso than being a diagram-style map. Maybe that extra color in the center is why the felt the need for the UI around the side to be so white, it's almost a color inversion of the old version which was white in the center but colorful around the UI. I dunno, I just like the way the maps and trains look here. That said, the gameplay is very good and the AI is quite clever and aggressive even. I came in second on [i]the tutorial[/i] because I just kept getting [i]railroaded[/i] by the NPC's. As with many digital board games you do have to make [i]yet another account[/i] but I appreciate that the Bubble thing they use for that lets you use your Google login so you don't have to mess around with a new password and a separate account is more excusable on cross-platform games. Cross-platform is something I'm firmly enthusiastic towards when it comes to digital board games, the more the merrier and these games can sometimes be too niche to box everyone into the platform they're playing on. Overall if you want Ticket to Ride I can't complain. Depending on your group and preferences the official web version on BoardgameArena might suit your needs better but presentation comes [i]last[/i] on BGA.

Ticket to Ride Classic Editionと比べると グラフィック・操作・サウンド、それぞれ多少アップデートされてる。 本体だけだとUSAのマップのみプレイ可能 マルチは少ないけど人は居ましたがDLCを持ってないと入れないマップには人が集まりにくそう 発売時の話ですが、Classicを持っていたらDLC Europaのパックが貰えました 旧版でDLCコンプしてたのに、こっちだと持ってたDLCは使えません ゲーム自体は旧版と変わらない 色ごとの列車のカードを引いて、目的地を列車で繋げれば得点になり最終得点の多い人の勝利です 英語わからなくてもプレイには支障はないと思います

Fun to play easy to learn.

Pretty good digital of the board game. Biggest disappointment is not having the Pennsylvania & Great Britain Expansion. Heart of Africa board is a bit rough to play on since you have to switch between train and terrain cards.
