HOW TO PLAY TICKET TO RIDE®:
Players are dealt a number of tickets and must pick a certain number to keep (depending on the map).
Players are also dealt four train cards of various colours. This number can also vary depending on the map you’re playing on, but don’t worry – the AI takes care of this!
Each turn, players can draw two train cards from the face-up pile, draw two train cards from the face-down pile, draw another ticket to complete, or use their train cards to claim a route! A claimed route is shown by placing train pieces along the route.
When a player has three or fewer train pieces left, the last round starts. Whoever has the most points at the end of the game is the winner!

Ticket to Ride® Positive Reviews
ImprovingWriting to say that I was going to give it three out of five stars as an improved score from my first rating when it opened up. I changed my rating to a four star due to the significant improvements in the development of this game. With that said, I am writing the review now because my game shows that I have two games out there that are just spinning as if I was the only player out there. I was in the midst of playing a four person online game and only my name was on the screen INI like it does when you’re seeing who gets to go first. Hopefully this is going to be fixed soon because I am now enjoying the game again. I am still having difficulty with the colors on the screen and have a hard time seeing where trains are put down on the colored tracks. It would be nice if the tracks were pastel with the trains being brighter, perhaps? The light wave that goes through the trains makes it even harder to distinguish so if I’m glancing over the board and a wave was going over it sometimes I have thought that the train wasn’t there and then when I look back it is, I am not sure if that is necessary and it does not enhance the game. I am happy to be able to play competitively against other people again and to see the European board up..2016BEVersion: 1.4.2
They fixed it right!!!I’m a long time fan of the board game and own almost every expansion. I wanted so bad to get it for tablet, but held off due to all the reviews saying the graphics were painful and the turn prompter infuriating. Well, I finally downloaded this based on the latest reviews saying all that was fixed, and I’m here to confirm it’s true! This app is now everything a board game port should be — faithful to the original in appearance and style, with added QOL features that only a digital version can provide. The game looks beautiful, plays fast and flawlessly, and allows the player to choose the map, the ruleset, the route set, even the look of your train pieces! I was overjoyed to find my favorite maps already available, including Nordic, India, and Europe (all card sets). Even the original U.S. map, which was ugly as sin in the board game, is alive and pretty here. Most of all, the app absolutely delivers the board game experience, with frosting on top 😊 And that includes single player. It is genuinely heartwarming to see a developer paying such serious attention to prior complaints and making everything right. Boy, did they. If you love Ticket to Ride, this app has it all. Hesitate to download no more!.Bob DewalrusVersion: 1.4.4
Like the game but still needs improvementOverall, I like this game, but it still needs improvements. Note: I was an avid player of the previous version and I primarily played it on my iPad. Likes: — I like that I know how many cards are available in each pile. — I like the card shuffling animation Improvement suggestions: — Need to make maps like Nordic Countries to switch and auto expand in portrait position. I can move my iPad from landscape/horizontal position to portrait/vertical position. This feature would make these maps easier to see. Or just make them in portrait/vertical position like the old game did. — Overall, I found the maps in the old game easier to see. I did not always have to manually expand them to see them better. — Need to add points ranking system so players can see how we do against other players not just the person(s) we immediately played against. — Need to add filter system so we can determine what kind of opponent’s we want to play against. May want to compete only against opponents closest to our ranking. And may want to add opponents to a Friend pool or an Ignore pool. This was available in old game. — I find the AI for games against the computer as predictable as the old game. Instead of drawing only 2 cards, it draws 3 and never draws any more. One of the selling points of this game is that the AI was going to use strategies of the best players. — Could use more character types. — Would like the routes highlighted when I click on my destination card. It would make these routes easier to see. The pushpins are hard to see on an iPad. This is all I can think of right now..Teresa BartonVersion: 1.2.2
FRUSTRATED!!Let me start by saying I NEVER do negative reviews!! I leave those up to my husband! AND… I LOVE Ticket To Ride… the board game, as well as, the original app!! For years, the app has been a fun way for us to connect and engage with our adult children, whether across state and country or in the same room… even my husband who doesn’t usually play games with us… even my 80+ year old father-in-law enjoyed it!! It was so simple to follow, especially after playing the board game!! But playing the new app tonight for the first time, left us all incredibly frustrated! That was probably the worst gaming experience I’ve ever had… and we play a LOT of games! I was so disappointed while I was playing that I was actually fighting back angry tears! Not only did we run into problems trying to use the old app… that we paid a considerable amount for… but then all decided to spend even more on the new app… just to all end up so frustrated by all the changes!! I mean, to begin with, this should have been a free upgrade to those of us who already had the old one, but we all overlooked that and agreed we just needed to get over it… we figured what’s another $5, right?!! Ugh! I can’t even put into words right now!! I used to own a toy store and sold the board game… I have personally recommended the old app to no less than 20 people… I’ve probably paid for 10 of those just so I could play with them, but I wouldn’t recommend this new one to anyone! I could barely even read it on my phone screen because the print was so small… I couldn’t tell the difference in a track verses where someone had laid down train cars… the colors all blended together so bad that I couldn’t even make out my destination markers!! I’m begging you to keep working on improvements and updates!! PLEASE!!! 😫😖.TE(D)MVersion: 1.0.17
Multiplayer feature effectively doesn’t workAs of Ver 1.0.18 I have been unable to complete a online multiplayer game. Generally you set it up for 4-5 players generally game play seem to be going ok, but before you even reach the halfway point in game play, a player will freeze up and at that point there is nothing you can do, it’s game over. I have tried various things like waiting it out, killing the app and then going back in. When a player freezes up it’s game over there is nothing you can do to fix it. Very frustrating!!
Ticket to ride is a great game. I’m sure that you had all sorts of reasons for redesigning it from the ground up rather than just updating the existing game. Here is a little hint: When you have a large online game community that like your game and regularly plays it, before you completely drop support for the current version that actually did work, and release a new version that is untested and doesn’t work, you should pause and ask yourself “is this a good idea”? I think any sane person would answer this question “no, this a terrible idea, let’s not do that to our loyal customers..DallisjcVersion: 1.0.18
Five star! Update after some previous scathing reviews by me.This app went from the most disappointing launch I’ve ever experienced for gameplay to a real pleasure now. I’ve been playing at my regular pace and enjoy the new leader boards, the gameplay, the visibility, and all the other things I have been complaining about that have now been fixed. I like fast play and I appreciate blitz mode with the functional countdown timer clock. If you were one of the early adopters and were highly disappointed, I would suggest trying the game again. I would have given this game negative stars if it were possible at launch. For me, I can put up with a few gameplay glitches or some additions that get bugs worked out of a new release. But when this game was first launched, the colors were so terrible, actually the whole graphics scheme was awful, that it made the game incredibly painful to play. and the game was not pleasant to navigate on iPad. There had been touchscreen issues, zooming issues many other broken things. The game developer has worked to answer all of the objections. Thank you! thank you!.Silver River Mayor UnofficialVersion: 1.4.3
I gave you money and I don’t regret itLove the game. UI is simple and smooth. Online gaming with friends/family everywhere all at once is nice and convenient. Only bug I have found is if you minimize the game while you look at another app - if you try and switch back to TicketToRide, it won’t recognize the turn that was played and you will be stuck in limbo until you “leave the game” and rejoin “your games”. Kinda inconvenient to multitask while playing and becomes a hassle enough that it forces me to stay in the game. ***Below are QoL update requests/ideas - only for the Devs - and thank you Devs for a great game/port! :) *** 1. GIVE US THE ABILITY TO DISABLE REFLECTIONS. Other reviewers have mentioned this too. I want to see my already hard to see train color, not glaring white every 10s that shimmers through the whole playing field (sorry and thank you for your hard work!) 2. OUR OWN CUSTOM TRAIN COLORS (ALSO MAKE THEM GLOW SO I CAN SEE THEM). 3. COLORBLIND OPTION (OR GLOW…) 4. ADD “LAST TURN” PREVIEW TO SIDE OF CHARACTER ICONS (PLEASE?) Left side in-game UI offers us the ability to see how many Tickets, Points, Train Cards, and Trains the player has. If we click on their icon, we can view their last turn. Adding the “Last Turn” info next to the player icon like the rest of the info that is displayed would be a great QoL measure and offer us human competitors a more competitive (and less time consuming edge). 5. CUSTOM RULE(S)? The face up cards sometimes last for 5+ rounds. I’d like to make a custom rule for my own games to have it reshuffle/swap the face up cards if it is stale for 2 rounds..Sa’moVersion: 1.7.0
Maturing NicelyThe developers have done a good job with this version of TTR and it is maturing nicely. The updates to the USA maps have improved game play greatly. Being able to see how many routes and cards a player has at all times without tapping is invaluable.
I do wish there was a feature to lock the map in place yet allow a double tap to zoom in on a particular area and double tap again to zoom out to a locked map. I’m constantly moving the map accidentally as I try to dray or play cards from my hand.
Searching for players and adding friends should be easier as I miss the social aspect of the previous version.
I know one of the big reasons for the redesign was because the chat became a place of inappropriate people, but please bring back the social aspect of the game and appoint community moderators and restore healthy banter to the game.
Lock chat down to people who have paid for the maps or you could even allow players the option to vote to kick players from chat. I know the adding chat brings on additional responsibilities but the TTR community would gladly moderate it so we could have it back.
Another update could include an option for limited animations. Routs could complete with a green check and the point value in the lower left corner, cards could shuffle with just a gentle shake.
Starting order could appear as a number on our player icon for the duration of route selection as I often miss the family feud style display.
Keep up the good work it’s good to see improvements being made regularly to a game we all love..Jalo74Version: 1.10.2
Started smoothly….Let me start by saying how much that both myself and my fiancé love this game. I previously owned the other one 2 years ago but that was discontinued. Recently we downloaded this version and bought the expansion packs that were available . We normally play against each other and really enjoy this as kinda “quiet time “ with one another enjoying each others company . These past two days when playing against one another the game has frozen and booted me from the game. I had originally thought that it may be a WiFi issue so I disconnected WiFi and proceeded to go back to the game utilizing the “my games” tab. That seemed to temporarily fix it however it happened again when not on WiFi. The issue that prompted me to write this was that after an additional hour of play my fiancé had the same issue. Any ideas why this happened? At the very least I felt that I should alert you in case that it’s an ongoing issue. I would also like to see additional expansion other than the two that I have purchased.
Thank you,

Please place ticket pointer above my fingerDefinitely quite a bit of work to get back to where we were with the old app, but hopefully we’ll get there soon. Top annoyances: (1) Colors still not the right contrast. In the old app I can tell immediately what’s a train car and what’s track of a given color. Hard to make out at a glance for almost all the colors. Shadows or skews or better colors or all would help. (2) No 1910 for usa. There’s a reason 1910 is popular. The base game does not encourage destination draws. (3) If I press on a train card in my hand and drag it, why on earth would the pointer be under my finger?? You need to offset to a reasonable vertical position. I can’t see where I’m placing it. Do you even test it yourselves? (4) Would be nice for the score summary to show which bonuses applied for each player. (5) This might be the biggest one and what prevents me from telling any of my friends to get it: offline (wifi/bluetooth) mode. We like to get together and play from our devices. I guess we will keep using the old app for now for that. No reason to get this new one. Plus we have all the maps in Classic..Luisf765Version: 1.2.6
OkI am reviewing again since I first played the new version. I did not like the graphics. They did change them so it’s a little better now. I still like the old version better. I also don’t like that there doesn’t seem to be a reason to play other than to just play. Now when I play, I either win or lose, and it’s over. Before, I was trying to rank higher. There is no ranking anymore. So I don’t seem to have an incentive to win other than to win. I miss the karma scale and being able to play other ranked players. It just seems like the game went backwards. I don’t understand why you messed with a good thing. It was my favorite game. I don’t look forward to playing as much as I used to. Also, I miss all the other maps that I paid extra money for. Honestly, I feel like when they came out with a new version. The people who already owned it shouldn’t have had to pay again. I feel like maybe it was just to make more money..Teejaye3Version: 1.2.6
Nothing like theThis is such a frustrating game. I was an avid player of the old game until it stopped working on me. I would play with my husband and friends often. I tried to uninstall and reinstall, the old version, but then and it disappeared on me, saying the old version was no longer supported and couldn’t be re-installed. Boy was I missing it.
Then, this version came out-I was so excited. However, I have actually only been able to play one game successfully. The rest of the time it just sits there. I try to join games and minutes go by just sitting seeing the other players (we have all four ready to go) with a message “waiting for host to start game”. What?!?
Beyond not being able to get started, so much is missing from the old version. Where are the player rankings? It was nice to know the level of players you were playing and choose opponents or games you want to join accordingly.
When you are playing the game, you can’t see how many destination cards or color cards your opponents have unless it is their turn.
The 3D map is hard to read- the colors on it are distracting and confusing. The colors of the train cards are off and aren’t easy to distinguish.
This needs some major improvements to make it even playable, let alone come close to the vibrant player community and game functionality that the other version had.
What a waste of money..RNP570Version: 1.0.15
My Second Favorite to Board Game!Although I still love playing the original board game, the most, when there are other people to play with me, it is lots of fun to play against the AI players at other times! It is convenient that the rules are automatically enforced, the tracks are automatically dwindled from a double to a single when needed, and it is automatically scored! The visuals are a little bit small, so I need to wear my glasses and zoom in, and sometimes the tap targets are a little bit to hit, so I also zoom in for that, but I think that all of this would be nicely fixed when I try playing it on my iPad, and I am looking forward to that!.Autumn DVersion: 1.10.2
Updates have been really nice!I previously reviewed this at 2 stars when it first came out. From color issues, to screen display, to animation scenes, to periodic crashing… it needed a lot of improvement. The app just did not seem refined. However, I have given it a try again recently, and they have done a great job addressing nearly all the issues. I am seriously happy and impressed. Colors are a lot better to look at, they have added black outline to the edges of train tracks, and boards giving the app a more appealing look and the animation of zooming in and out has gone away which is kind of nice. My only critique would be I wish I could play with the expansions when playing with friends who don’t have the expansion. I think it would be an awesome way to advertise the new boards and get more people interested in purchasing the expansions. But all in all, the developers are doing a great job fixing the bugs and issues and I am looking forward to playing TTR more now!.Fitvek 08Version: 1.1.3
Development build so willing to give it timeEDIT: After getting the regular build, things seem to be much better but I still run into this annoying bug where sometimes you drop a route but the game instead of using the route for your turn instead draws a card and the cards you are trying to drop as the route just keep hanging there. Your turn finishes and in the next turn the “flying” cards drop back down in your deck. Basically you lost a turn for no reason. This needs fixing as this keeps repeatedly happening and you have to quit the game.
Lets be honest - the development build sold for $4.99 is terrible. The game is so buggy in its current state. Game hangs sometimes when it’s starting sometimes in the middle of games. The UI still works then but no progress on the game until you reload. The dropping of trains on to the mall sometimes just does nothing, it is very random and keeps wasting time so Blitz version is unplayable. I am willing to give it time and revise this review should they fix the bugs..Sid_tulVersion: 1.1.1
Enjoy TTR But....Review Part 2 and Update from my original review. I downgraded the overall rating from 4 stars to 3. The app continues to suffer from frequent hang ups and anomalies relative to game starts, ends and score keeping playing online with others. The games Leaderboard, which tracks current and past wins and rankings stopped working completely in the App's Season 8 after only 3 games of play at the beginning of the Season. The frequent crashes and hang ups coupled with the Leaderboard issue make the game for the most part unplayable. I've submitted my concerns to Marmalade Games, who do respond almost immediately stating updates are forthcoming. The updates come but with little effect for a solution to the Leaderboard problems. The app game is playable but without proper means for scoring, is useless to most gamers. One would think after 8 months of multiplayer online play these issues would be resolved. Before you buy, think twice about playing online against anyone other than a "Bot" in the solo games..Rodu48Version: 1.7.0
Too many glitches, ruining my relationshipMy boyfriend doesn’t know, but I have anchored my commitment to
our relationship to our ability to play Trains together. As an actress in a long distance relationship with an aerospace engineer, I obviously have a lot of faith in the universe and greater powers to deliver to me the fate that is rightfully mine. As such, I asked God, “If this is the man with whom I am meant to spend the rest of my life, please show me. Let our trains run smoothly each time we open our favorite app.”
A month ago, our relationship was better than ever. I would come home every night from Trader Joe’s and we would play a round or two of Train Game. We were so in love. Everything was running smoothly, especially our tandem tracks from Los Angeles all the way up to Vancouver.
But things took a turn. Recent bug issues have made it impossible for us to play together for longer than a few seconds before the app crashes & my heart breaks. These days, it’s nearly impossible to get the app to work long enough for us to even start a game together.
I got my answer from the universe. I hear you, Mother Nature. I understand. At the same time, I don’t. We had baby names picked out. We were building a future. Now we can’t even build a track from Sault Ste. Marie to Toronto.
My love, if you’re reading this: I love you always, and I’m sorry it didn’t work out. You’ll always be my favorite Train Conductor..Bonnie LeighVersion: 1.10.2
Awful, terrible, and badPlayed the other TTR app for years with friends. Came over to this one when the other shut down. To reiterate common complaints: the colors are BAD for this board and there is no definition of what is a track and what is played trains. To play with friends, you have to play the “online with friends” which operates under the assumption that all players will be online the whole time for the game. They all have to be online to accept the invite or the game will show that it’s ended. The game will give no notifications that it’s someone else’s turn. The game will not tell you who won at the end unless you are online when it ends. There is an “async” version that contemplates the players being offline…but I could find no option to invite your friends. Be warned if you want to play with friends. If you want to play by yourself, see if you can get the other, far superior TTR app..AceTmbg1Version: 1.2.2
Map is not as readable as other appThe Day of Wonder version of this app is much easier to read/place your trains on. This map sometimes you have to zoom in as close as possible and move very slowly to get the west coast shorter routes to register, which while not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things is definitely annoying. The timer for turns feels unnecessary, I’m not sure if there’s a way to turn it off yet. Otherwise, I will continue to play due to reliable connectivity when paying with friends (while this feature is not terribly intuitive to access, it easier to access and more reliable than the Days of Wonder app).
Also, this app makes it much easier to connect with others on different types of phones at both close (same house same WiFi) and far (cross country) than the Days of Wonder app allows.
Ultimately, it gets the job done better than any other/previous version and that’s nice..Sundae K.Version: 1.5.3
Fun but buggyThis game is so addictive and has lots of potential. For this, I did buy the early bird pack to support updates to the play because it has some bugs that need to be fixed asap. Primarily, the issue with the game dealing incorrect cards or not letting you place train cars on the board. Marmalade, I have a screen recording if you want it.
In my last game play, I tried several times to place 6 yellow train cars on the board, but it always dealt me cards from the deck when I hit the check,ark to place the cars.
Another issue I had in that same game was it dealing incorrect cards. I would choose maybe a white card at the very top of the 5 face up card options, but instead it dealt from the deck. Other times I would choose a certain color card, say green, and was give a different color. Mind you, it didn’t matter the color I choose, it just didn’t deal the correct color. The wild thing was sometimes it dealt a color from the face up pile that wasn’t even a current face up colored card, so it’s not as if your finger may have tapped too high or too low and it dealt the neighboring card. No, it just dealt a random color card instead.
Please fix these bugs asap. I lost several areas of the board simply because the game has these bugs. This game will be so awesome if/ when these issues are resolved..MsStaciNicoleVersion: 1.1.3
Wish it worked consistentlyI recently purchased and downloaded Ticket to Ride because I love the game itself. The strategy and gameplay are just as fun and engaging as I’d hoped, and when the app works properly, it’s a great experience.
However, in the short time I’ve been using it, I’ve encountered multiple frustrating glitches. Games fail to load correctly, freeze in the middle of play, or the app won’t load at all. I’ve tried everything on my end — deleting and reinstalling the app, restarting my device, and following the troubleshooting tips provided by Marmalade Game Studio, but the problems continue.
It’s really disappointing to purchase a game and not have a consistent, reliable platform to play on. The technical issues significantly take away from the experience. I’m hopeful that stability improvements and bug fixes will be addressed soon so players can fully enjoy the game without constant interruptions..Shan1272Version: 1.10.2
Good, but insufficientCurrently, there are just two maps - USA and Europe. I am almost reaching my limit to replay on the same two maps. This app needs more maps - ideally, all the maps from the board game. It needs expansions, such as 1910 and 1912. These would increase replayability. Ideally, more expansions, including the exotic ones, such as Mystery Train, Alvin & Dexter and Dice Expansion (in dice version, a tactic to draw 14 jokers on Euro map to block everyone is no longer possible. I want more train colors. I want the ability to give more than 45 trains (house rule, plays well on Euro map with 2 players). And of course all these expansions and house rules configurable, so you can enable/disable them. And please, fix the annoying bug for iPhone users - when you build at the bottom of the map, the check button to confirm the build is beyond the screen, unless you zoom in first. I even had to quit the game and reload it, because I was digging a tunnel, needed to pay an extra card, and the button to confirm the build was not available (below tge bottom reachable area of tge screen). Didn't anyone really played this app to not notice that, or is it just me? Speaking of annoyances, I wish the animation for when other players dig tunnels and draw cards would've been faster and wouldn't zoom. That animation kind of makes sense when it is me who digs the tunnels, so there's anticipation, if you're going to need to spend extra cards, but when 3 other players dig tunnels in succession and I have to watch, it kind of throws me off my thoughts. Also, it would be great to improve the battery life. There has been times I would have played more, if it wouldn't drain my battery as fast. But apart from all the above, this app really has many things done well, it would be unfair to not compliment it. It is definitely playable, it can be enjoyed, good graphics, good save game system. I'd love to see it being improved - after so many fundamental things being done well, it feels like the developers could just invest 10% more effort and make the game 2-3x better..Tony WoodVersion: 1.0.14
Strange behavior on game server?My wife and I often play online together, her on her Mac, me on my Ipad. Lately we’ve been seeing very different results at end of play. For example her results said I had picked different destinations than I actually picked. Naturally, I never attempted to connect destinations I did not pick, but I did connect destinations that I picked. Therefore my tally on her board was much lower than my tally on my board. The tallys for the other players were also different between our boards as well. It seems the error is happening at the beginning when we pick our destinations. For example, I may pick Vancouver to Montreal but her board will see me as having picked Pittsburg to Portland. After the game is over, my tally will increment my score for having completed the destination, but on her board, my tally is decremented for not having completed it..Providence expressVersion: 1.6.1
Don’t like new updateI’m was still going to give it 5 stars because I love this game!!! However, with the last update there are a couple things that make gameplay a little harder. First, the “hard” icon covers the opponents score so unless it’s their turn you can’t see the score of your opponents. Secondly. When the trains go o. the map you use to be able to follow them across the country and see where they went. Now they just kind of plop in and highlight for a brief second. Unless you’re really watching close you miss where they get placed. Lastly, the totals aren’t adding up anymore at the end of the game. It just freezes and I have to close out and go back in to play another game and I never do get to see the final totals. Please please fix this.DawnK65Version: 1.4.2
Awful Color Scheme - Difficult to look atUpdate:
Added one star for effort. The maps’ color and contrast are marginally improved, but still very difficult to look at for any length of time. Oddly, this goes for the simplified mode as well, which while it declutters things in some ways, still suffers from color and contrast issues of its own. The most frustrating thing about this for me is that when picking destination cards it is a huge turn off of an experience trying to determine visually on the map 1. where the start and end cities are for each card, and 2. which cards connect with or overlap other cards for building strategy (a direct result of #1). I should note that I have excellent vision, no color blindness, and no need for corrective lens of any kind. This game could be great if they just get a proper color and contrast design consultant in and actually listen to what they say and implement significant UX improvements.
_____________
I want to like this version of the game. It does seem to have potential (and for that reason I purchase the early bird everything package as a pledge of support), however the single biggest things that make it unplayable to me currently are: 1. Color scheme is VERY difficult to look at it’s like listening to a stereo system that has way too much treble, you might be able to enjoy a couple songs but then listening fatigue rapidly sets in, 2. The animations are far too lengthy and prevent the rapid game play experience many of us have expressed craving (it should be possible to play a skilled human opponent in about 10-15 minutes tops, otherwise I’ll just settle into the original physical board game with my partner instead, 3. The multiplayer system feels like a grab of private data and the system doesn’t even work well and is not resilient in the face of disruptions where the bugs make it impossible to resume. Please focus on these issues, in that order. The first two feel like relatively straight forward low hanging fruit and the third is simply critical. Looking forward to seeing the potential realized and the long time fans and monetary contributors’ needs respected. Thank you and good luck..AppDev11Version: 1.4.1

Excellent adaptationI played the previous version for several years and enjoyed it but it was very buggy. When the new one came out I was initially irritated at having to pay again, but the implementation is so much better and more faithfully reproduces the rules of the board game (e.g., the "meeples" in the Germany map, which the old version never implemented). And the developers are super friendly and responsive to any bug reports and suggestions we have submitted. New maps appear from time to time and are always well-done. I now feel that this version of the game has surpassed the previous one in just about every way!.OoninayVersion: 1.10.2

Not as bad as some reviews…I too loved the old version of this game. The new version isn’t bad though. I like that gameplay has sped up with the countdown for each move, the old game had issues when players clocks could run on for several minutes. Glad that’s fixed.
It took me a long time to decide if I should buy the new game, the negative reviews were off putting, but I’m glad I spent the $6.99 for my ticket to ride.
My only gripe is the add-on cost for maps etc. I don’t see playing anything but the base map at those prices. That said, the US was always my favourite map so all aboard!.PointingfingerVersion: 1.8.2

Ticket to Ride® Negative Reviews
Fan, but rules nightmareI’m a big fan of the game Ticket to Ride, but I wanted to try different strategies and play around on different maps, so I dropped 30 bucks on the expansion. Turns out, there are different rules for each map that fundamentally change the strategy of the game, and I don’t see any way at all to turn them off. I realize this is probably the case when you buy the physical copy and they’re just porting it into the app, but if I were to buy a hard copy in real life and discover the new rules, I would *for sure* just play with house rules to conform to the way the original game works. That’s not an option here… to have spent the money on all those maps only to find out that the gameplay is significantly different is really disappointing.
I had the old version of this app (and, also kind of irritatingly, had spent money there on additional maps before they stopped supporting it that version). Some of the rules in expansion maps were different in that case too, and also not changeable. But in that case, it was really just the addition of tunnels and claiming cities, at least as far as the maps I had bought. It was additional and I didn’t really like it then either, but mostly it was just an expansion of the base game. Here, literally every map seems to have a different set of rules and, for me, it makes things overly complicated! I would desperately love to see a feature in this app where you could turn off various additions to the game and play in some kind of basic, original style……….. Really love Ticket to Ride, but reeeeaaallly, really hate the way they do extra maps……. Please include this in an update and I’ll update to 5 stars!.Nick in WIVersion: 1.10.2
Hard to look at, hoping for an accessible updateI downloaded this app as a replacement for another Ticket to Ride app that closed its servers today. I enjoyed that app because the colors were not super saturated and were easy to look at. This app is very hard for me to play and results in a migraine after playing just one game.
I understand that bright colors and animations can keep some players attention but I would suggest that the developers add an accessibility switch in the settings if they are not going to change the regular game. Toggling this switch would lower the saturation of the cards and the board and disable the animations on the board. I would also have it disable the round animations when a route is complete, and limit the change in average value of the screen when train cars are being placed. I think most players understand which routes are playable with the cards they have and do not need the entire screen to darken except for the routes they can play. I am interested in purchasing and playing all of the map expansions, however it seems like a bad investment unless the app is changed to make it possible for me to play. I would be happy to provide more specific feedback to the developers if it is desired..J Grows PlantsVersion: 1.2.2
Such a disappointmentI was so excited for the new version of this game to come out, because the old version stopped working on my phone. The new version is such a disappointment. First of all let’s start with the fact that I have been kicked out of games multiple times and unable to rejoin. When I attempt to rejoin all I see is the map of the US. I was playing a game, and my sister was one of the other players, after multiple attempts to rejoin the game, I finally officially quit the game. The game continued waiting, after I quit, for me to take my turn. Then there are the many times that the game has just frozen.
Now let’s talk about the game itself. Why isn’t there a clock? There is a time limit on the game, but no clock to tell players how much time is left in each players time. This is an important aspect of the game. Then there is the board. You can barely tell when someone places trains down, if they place a train down of the same color as the line. It makes it very confusing and difficult at times.
Overall this version of the game is awful and I’m not sure why anyone would want to buy it until the bugs have been worked out. Honestly there was nothing’s wrong with the old version, so I’m not sure why the need for a new one except to make more money..Mmagoo2Version: 1.0.12
I wish someone could get it right!I had the original Ticket to Ride, which became Ticket to Ride Classic, which is now obsolete. Towards the end of the lifespan of that particular game, it became so glitchy that you could never make it through an entire game without freezing up or being booted out a bunch of times. Unfortunately, whoever took over and started the new app has not figured out how to fix that problem. This game continues to be just as glitchy, and continues to freeze up and kick you out constantly. In addition, this particular version of the app does not have some of the best features of the previous version. There is no rating/ranking system. I am getting used to the pastel colors that others have commented on. If you can ever actually get a game to make it to completion, it is a fun game (if you like the board game.) But unfortunately that almost never happens in online play. I cannot figure out why developers cannot figure this particular game out. There are billions of apps of different games and most of them work on a fairly consistent basis. This one does not work… which is frustrating because it has potential!.Cameroncrazy888Version: 1.0.16
No Longer a Viable Online Game!Ticket to Ride used to be our favorite family online game, especially because we don’t all live in the same state. Unfortunately, the recent update changed all that. With the older version it was very easy to “see” and choose routes. The new game has pastel colors that run together making it extremely difficult to see the contrast between routes. Who cares about choosing the type of locomotive when we are constantly having to look for which color and route we are on because they are so difficult to follow due to the lack of contrast. The other aspect we don’t like is how quickly the points are counted based on the number of tickets we have made. It’s hard to keep track of the route(s) and see what we’ve done before, during and after because of this update. The board is way too busy and that combined with the lighter colored cards, board and trains makes it almost impossible to keep track of our cards, routes and progress. In a nutshell, it’s no longer fun, so none of play anymore. I’m only writing to find out if there is a way to revert to the older version which we all enjoyed..MaureenkcgVersion: 1.0.12
Disappointing at bestThey took a great game and app and utterly destroyed it with this remake. The new board is awful. Half the space is taken up by filler maps of Mexico and Canada. There is a weird and unnecessary perspective on the board. The contrast is terrible, so you can barely make out yellow from orange or the grays of the board from the black of the cars. There’s no rankings. No map variations anymore. Instead of showing you what trail you’ve completed, you get a useless animation. It’s impossible to keep track of routes. There are gigantic pins on the map that take away even more visibility of the map. It’s basically like someone wanted to make things look pretty with no concept of user interface. The old maps worked great for over a decade. I don’t know why they felt the need to rehaul it. What happened is they took a great game and ruined it. This looks like it was made by developers who have never actually play TTR on an iPad, or at all, for that matter. I just can’t get over how bad a remake this app is. Why bring it to the App Store when you have none of the features of the previous version?.DesamadoVersion: 1.1.3
Marmalade has lost their wayLast couple releases by Marmalade have really missed the mark… like what on earth is going on over there. You all started off strong!
It’s too bad too because I was so excited for this release. Other people have said it, but this game is visually a nightmare. It’s very challenging to see what’s going - especially once the trains get out there, I’m straining to see what lines are open. The “perspective view” is working against the visuals and the detail on the landscape is a lot visually too. The menus are not the most intuitive (why a separate lobby for async, what if I want to track a friend - not public - and play async with them?). The playable characters are sort of strange brand add- it would honestly be better not having characters at all.
The whole thing is just disappointing. and the worst part of all….? The previous app was SO GOOD. Granted, it was getting old, but they really understood what players wanted. It feels like Marmalade really doesn’t understand their audience and their needs. Really too bad cause Ticket to Ride is such a great game..ThenmrkidVersion: 1.0.11
Cranky about rebuying TTRMy husband and I had the previous app with all the expansions that were paid for. Having to buy them all over again because Days of Wonder combined with Asmodee games is a rip off and frankly wrong. It is not the consumers fault and this not the only game. Splendor is no longer supported either. So, I guess when you buy an app it’s not a promise of always having access to what you paid for. I am not impressed with the new format and all the additional up-charges. Also, the trains are horribly hard to see on the board and there is less of the TTR feel to the layout.
I saw on another post someone else expressing the same frustration (not my spouse) and they were kindly offered the Europe map for free by
Marmalade Games, the new platform provider. It was kind because this was never their fault as Asmodee and Days of Wonder went a different direction with platform providers, but it still doesn’t account for the amounts spent previously or for the additional amounts to be spent for the same/similar product. Asmodee and Days of Wonder should be held accountable for this..Payne1607Version: 1.4.0
Total CRAP!I want a refund. This “update” of the app by Marmalde is just unbelievably bad. Somehow they’ve managed to downgrade every feature of the original, turning one of my favorite games into a useless waste of time and money. The game board is illegible, your destinations are impossible to see, the routes taken by others are equally bad, the animation is distracting, there’s no timer so you can’t tell if another player is slow or if the game has hung (and it hangs a lot!), the card colors are hard to distinguish, and the number of cards and colors in your hand is virtually unusable. Who designed this?!? And then there are the random changes they’ve made from the original, like putting your wild cards on the left of your hand rather than your right. Yes, a relatively inconsequential change, but why?!? And don’t get me started on how the game sometimes hangs and you can’t even swipe away from it—you actually have to restart your phone!!! I hate having to write such a bad review—but this game is absolutely NOT WORTH BUYING! In fact, it wouldn’t be worth it even if it was free. AVOID..The sleeper has awakenedVersion: 1.0.13
Great game, even better glitchesBeing in a long distance relationship with my beautiful gf who happens to be an actress, every evening we sit down and play a round or two of Trains whenever she gets back from Trader Joe’s. We’ve been through a lot together, but continue to make strides to support one another from a thousand miles away, unlike the developers for this app. My gf and i are both well rated players (top 1000), with hundreds of games under our rails. Nonetheless, this game continues to ruin itself. Good connection to server is nearly impossible. Interface for inviting friends/family was created by someone born 1 business days ago. Online play is actually offline play bc it never works. I’m beyond frustrated with the bugs, and as a paying customer who’s leveraging this app to save my relationship, my heart breaks for fellow train riders who are experiencing similar issues. all i want to do in connect Houston to Atlanta, but that’s merely a pipe dream with the app currently down. do better, ticket to ride..Driver2424Version: 1.10.2
Same game; worse UI & color schemesThe game is the same minus there being very few maps available as of right now. But my primary complaint is just that it looks so.. blah. The colors on the map don’t pop on the screen and easily blend into the background. The pins of your cities can only be noticed if you focus. The colors of the train cards are all just… off. They’re almost like a neon holographic color and it gives me a headache trying to stare at them. Lastly, when you draw new train tickets, they cover the other players’ information. Which means you can’t see how many tickets, color cards, or trains they have. All of those things are critical to being a strategic player. They actually only let you see that information when each player takes their turn. So on your own turn, you can’t see anyone else’s stats. I wish they’d de-bug the old game because it was a significantly better experience. I downloaded so many maps on the last app and played everyday. Can’t imagine I’ll be playing this hardly at all..Daniela_tmVersion: 1.0.11
Good visuals, horrible team play experienceThe updates UI has good potential and I can see a lot of effort was put into it. However, as others suggested the colors are very difficult to differentiate from each other. They may make the hoard lol good but I keep finding that the route colors aren’t what I expect when I try to play a route, which should never be a concern.
Visuals aside, my family and friends have been playing online T2R since early 2020 and the biggest problem we have with this version is that it requires your friends to all be online and accept invites while the game is being setup. Which, when playing with friends across the world is not viable. As in the other version, we should be able to send and invite and allow those invites to be accepted when they can. The game then starts when everyone accepts the invite. Not supporting this concept is a significant loss in functionality in the game.
Notifications are another concern. I am able to turn in some notifications such as invites (which seem to finish within seconds for some reason) but I have yet to see one when it is my turn in a game.
I think this version has potential, but the current version is basically a single player game with multi player almost seemingly an after thought.
Hopefully more boards will come out soon as the other version of this app had an expansive collection of game variants..Babster_vtVersion: 1.0.13
So disappointedI LOVE ticket to ride, my mom and I would play daily multiple times and we both loved playing in general in our free time. I was nervous about it being redone because it was already so good! I bought every map on the old one and have felt like I got my moneys worth out of it. This one I don’t. It makes me so sad to think when the old one shuts down I won’t get to play anymore. The way it keeps throwing you out randomly, you can’t see your route, even seeing my trains on the board is an issue…it’s all too small. I hate that I can’t turn off the animation, it takes forever to play one game and I don’t have that much time normally. You can’t see if your friends are online to play with, you don’t have a ranking to check out your competition, you can’t chat with your friends in game, and so much more. 😭 the only thing I like is my character and choosing a color was easy. Save your money. Please developers just put it back like it was!! Functional and efficient is so much better than pretties and animations..Apostolic momma of 2Version: 1.0.12
DO NOT GET ON A TABLETTicket to Ride on iPad is an absolute travesty. It's beyond belief that a game could be so fundamentally broken. Every time I dare to venture into the online mode, it's nothing short of a crash fest. The frustration of meticulously planning my routes, strategizing, only to have the entire experience obliterated by an inexplicable crash is maddening. It's as if the developers carelessly threw together an app riddled with bugs and then turned a blind eye to its utter failure. I've lost count of the times I've patiently attempted to enjoy a game, only to have my efforts dashed by the app's persistent instability. It's a slap in the face to the loyal players who have invested time and money into this game. This is not just a minor inconvenience; it's a blatant disregard for the player experience. The developers need to wake up and realize that this level of unreliability is wholly unacceptable. I demand a solution. Fix this app. It's high time the developers took responsibility for the mess they've created. I'm utterly appalled and deeply dissatisfied with this unmitigated disaster of a gaming experience..QwanVoVersion: 1.0.13
Went downhill quicklyEdit: If I could get my $$$ back I would. Four months after my original review I’ve removed two additional stars. The game is no longer challenging, so I can’t recommend it to family & friends. In the previous version you “earned” your rank based on skill level, now it more of a “participation trophy” game. The more you play the more predetermined stars you get - no matter how good you are/badly you sucked. You used to be able to play with similarly ranked players if desired. The developers got lazy here. In addition to the weak ranking system (noted above and below in original review), the game has gotten SUPER glitchy. Every game drops about midway thru or near the end. I lost my latest game because the app crashed and by the time I was finally able to relaunch the app, my match was over - meaning the system took over in my place and tanked my game. Also, the app never saves your game preferences. I must ALWAYS select my preferred map, time, & players. The original app saved the details from your last match. Original Review: Hello, longtime fan/member of the Trains community. After the original was discontinued, I was thrilled to have a replacement. There are some aesthetic glitches that others have noted but my biggest issue is the way the the ranking system was implemented. In the first iteration, ranking was a reflection of skill level (you even had the option to create games based on the rank you wanted to play); but in this current version, ranking is primarily attributed to volume of games played. I feel this does not truly represent the optimal experience and therefore gives undo prestige towards players who physically have more time to play more versus players who are more skilled and adept at the mechanics of the game. I definitely like the transparency behind the ranking score, but it lacking the more challenging aspect of the original app. Please address this situation in coming updates. Thank you..ALuv4862Version: 1.6.2
Freezes every turnMy friends and I all enjoyed playing the old version of this game to stay connected during COVID. Recently we tried to revisit it and realized we had to download this new version and pay again. Instead of an even better experience, which you would expect from a new release, the game is unplayable. It freezes at least twice during each turn for up to thirty seconds at a time making playing a quick game with friends an hour-long test in patience. I tried multiple suggestions from the internet and none fixed the problem.
Other odd design choices are present. The cursor/pointer to place your trains is under your finger making it extremely difficult to accurately place your trains. The color scheme is strange with the tracks and cards being similar in color but not matching (pink tracks with purple cards) and the trains that have been placed do a glimmering thing that is very hard on the eyes.
I will be requesting a refund from Apple for my purchase..123mjmbvVersion: 1.3.0
Playable, but unreasonably slowGameplay is good. Interface is fine. “AI” players can take 30-60 seconds just to decide to take 2 cards. Far too long for a single player game. Haven’t tried non battery saving mode so that might help, but if you want to sit down and bang out a few games in 30 minutes, this isn’t your game.
Update: Battery save mode off didn’t appreciably speed up the game. But it caused the battery drop from 73% to 45% in a single game. I’ll be holding off on the DLC until they address these issues. There was previously a better version of this game that they removed in favor of one with micro-transactions. Too bad, that version was amazing, and still had the other expansions available to buy. I don’t know if it was the same company or not, but a clear example of removing a successful version and replacing it with a marginally functional one with higher revenue potential..RobotSpiderVersion: 1.9.2
Regrettable Downgrade from a Beloved AppI am compelled to express my disappointment with the recent rebuild of the Ticket to Ride app. The original app, known for its stability and enjoyable gameplay, has unfortunately been overshadowed by a new version that fails to live up to its predecessor.
The most disheartening aspect is the removal of expansions that loyal users had already purchased. To regain these expansions, users are now expected to pay an exorbitant sum of $35. This not only undermines the value offered by the original app but also disregards the investment of long-standing players.
In terms of usability, the new version is a step back. The interface, though visually appealing, is less user-friendly and intuitive, making the game more difficult to navigate and enjoy. This shift towards a flashy yet less functional design is a major drawback.
A critical point to note is that while the old app is still operational for existing users, its online multiplayer functionality, a vital component of the game, has been disabled. This effectively diminishes the playability and enjoyment of the app for those who preferred the original version.
In conclusion, this update has significantly detracted from the Ticket to Ride experience. It’s disconcerting to witness a well-loved game lose its essence and playability. As an avid player, I hope for a return to the quality and customer consideration that once made this app a favorite..CjcovellVersion: 1.0.12
You can’t see the board! Go back to the old versions viewI was excited to see there was a new version of ticket to ride. I’ve spent many hours playing solo and with my husband. Unfortunately, after downloading the new version I couldn’t even make it through an entire game because I got so annoyed/frustrated. You can’t see the entire board because of the placement of the other players cards and it is not as easy to see where your cities are. In my opinion this was a real downgrade compared to the last version. Place the other players info back on the top of the screen where there is a bunch of dead space like in the previous version. What idiot thought it was a good idea to cover up the board when there was plenty of space at the top?! I will not be recommending to others.
In response to developers response: Yes, I used the simplified map version but that still didn’t make it so I could see the entire board at once. Fix it!.Lily Ann BVersion: 1.4.1
Do not buy. Literally unplayable.I honestly cannot believe there are any 5 star reviews, let alone as many are showing here. This game is horrible, the developers have ruined a classic game and made it an incredibly frustrating experience. I will be requesting my money back. There are a lot of reviews and developer responses regarding the visuals, and all of them are correct- the scale, contrast, animations etc. are all awful and need to be addressed. But that could be ignored for a short time if the game actually worked-which it does not. There are an insane amount of glitches and problems with game play: it often takes creating 5-6 games online to actually be able to start playing one because they just stop loading, let more people in than you identify in the settings, the game crashes, it gets to the load screen but you can’t select route cards, or players don’t show up but are not replaced with bots. When you do get to start a game, it’s a race against the clock until one of those issues pops up and the game halts or freezes, and if that happens you cannot get back to it. Or, you can play the game but cannot select the proper route, or try to select a route and the cursor just hovers over the route and you get two new cards instead of the track (happened to me 5 times in a row the last time I played). A the game timer doesn’t seem to mean anything. Players are not kicked out for running out of time, there is no bot replacement if a player is idle. Lastly, there is no scoring/stats tracking. That actually gave a point to the previous version, and without seeing scores improve/decline or any competitive element over time, there is no reason to continue playing. All developer responses I’ve seen are about the visuals, doesn’t seem like they are addressing the actual bugs and gameplay issues. So many people have been disappointed in this game, it would be nice to hear from the developer on what they are specifically doing to fix the bugs. Until then, and until you can actually play, I will continue to tell people it is not worth the money and not to buy it..DisappointmentAboundsVersion: 1.6.1
Sad downgrade from the old gameI’ve played ticket to ride online for almost two years, almost every day and I was excited to try this new version. Nothing but disappointment. The graphics are awful, I get nauseous with the movements every time I drop a route. There’s so many unnecessary animations that are distracting from the game. The colors on the cards and trains are really weird and not true to the game. You can’t see the map well at all. When you go to drop your trains you have to line up an arrow directly onto the route. The counting at the end was lacking. I liked in the other game how you could see the cards as they were revealed, it gave satisfaction of knowing where you blocked someone and how the game went. This one just tallies the numbers with no real visual. Overall, I’m SO sad with this game. I want to play the board game online, this is taking it in a really weird direction and it’s really not doing it for me..Meterry86Version: 1.0.11
So hard to playUpdate: The developer has made improvements, especially to the visual aspect and making it a little easier to see what’s what on the board. But it’s still not good. And the most recent update has made it so glitchy, I don’t think it’s playable until the issues are fixed. Frozen games, having to force quit the app, not getting wins because the app froze during the tally… none of this was happening before the most recent update, or should I say, downgrade.
Previous review: I am a long time fan of the previous TTR app, and I miss it so much. This app has potential because obviously it’s the same game, but it is just so difficult to tell what’s what on the board. Where are my routes? Where are the trains I’ve played? Where is my opponent? It’s ridiculous, the lack of contrast and all of the pastel colors on the too-dark country game board. Please make this game more user friendly and you’ll have a fan..PezLoriVersion: 1.4.2
GlitchyMy daughter and I love this game, been playing the board game for a few years. She finally convinced me to buy the app, and it’s been a mixed experience. We can hardly ever get through one game without at least one of us having to reboot the app. It seems that if you leave the app for any reason and come
back to resume the game, that’s a trigger for a glitch (meaning you are in the game and it’s not prompting you for your turn like it should). Additionally, I seem to constantly have “unfinished” games that just won’t finish—I pull them up and it says “who has the longest route?” But it’s just frozen on that screen. I end up having to resign the games and “lose stars” in order to make them go away. I have no previous experience with the app, and hoped it would function better than this considering it costs money just to get started.KendrickdpVersion: 1.7.0
Can’t invite friendsHusband and I downloaded to play together when apart for work. First time using app it was a little glitchy and the other person could only get an invite from the apps home page. Next and all subsequent times we’ve tried to use it, the invites fail to go through at all if the other person has the app open and if they aren’t in the app then they get the invite but the invite only takes them into the app but won’t connect to the shared game. If this function doesn’t work then the game is useless to me and I want my money back.
We have both deleted and redownloaded. We have tried from the same WiFi source. We have logged out of out bubble accounts and logged back in. We have tried from different devices. Nothing seems to fix the issue. It’s very clearly a software issue at this point.
Until this is fixed this app keeps a one star from me..VandalGodVersion: 1.2.6
Rubber Band NightmareMy original bad review focused on the UI, which was improved a bit. The far more serious problem is the rubber banding Marmalade built into this version that completely eliminates strategy by controlling every supposedly random element of gameplay to force close finishes. From initial route availability (both players get two reasonably close routes of three that will add up to about the same points) to the colored train card draws (algorithm will deny useful cards to the player ahead until the lagging player catches up) this "game" is a managed experience designed to provide the illusion of competition.
For casual players who want a blowout-proof entertainment that looks like TTR and bears some resemblance to playing a game it's probably not too bad. For experienced players who want the competitive thrill of risk-taking and adapting with real stakes, this is a travesty. I would pay money for an option to restore randomness..StCorbiniansBearVersion: 1.7.2
Don’t buy unless you want the game to play for you!This is the worst app. The game glitches all the time and starts randomly doing moves for you.

DisappointedI was excited to play this game online with my friend but her version is not comparable with this new version.
Also, when I bought the ticket around the world, it only has NA and Europe!
What happened to all the other older games such as Swizerland, India, Japan.
I would really like to request a refund because I can’t connect with my friend..RotutyrtotyuruttVersion: 1.0.13
Infinitely worse than the originalAs an avid player of the original Ticket to Ride app I am incredibly disappointed in this new version. The 3D is distracting and looks tacky. The original version retained the charm of the original board game (variety of maps, art style, placement of map on the screen etc.) these maps are difficult to read due to the addition of 3D elements (seeing the city markers is quite difficult) and the animations are distracting and look cheap. This was a game I thoroughly enjoyed playing in the past but I find it far too visually busy and keep going back to an old iPad to play the maps I previously purchased on the old version (which is no longer supported so I cannot buy the rest of the maps on the older version, a heads up to this effect would have been appreciated). I hope in future the developers allow new purchases in the old version of the app so that I have a playable version of Ticket to Ride somewhere..Winter PuffinVersion: 1.0.13
Total waste of moneyMy wife and I have been avid players of the original online version for years. We just bought the new version and haven’t been able to complete one single game because the app keeps on freezing midway through the game. Why change a game that was working pretty well? Players of Ticket to ride are not Fortnite gamers; they are boardgame players who couldn’t care less about 3d. Wondering if the people at Marmalde ever hear about the concept of market research? (Giving it 1 star rating because I am forced to)..PelossemVersion: 1.0.13
The new version is no goodThe new version has the following issues:
1) visually, the selected missions for each player is not very clearly visible with the drop pins
2) visually, sometimes you cant identify the difference between a color route (yellow for example) and yellow wagons of a player
3) there s no skip option after you complete any mission
4) there is no timer for friends invitation games
5) number of available wagons, tickets and missions is not easily visible for all players. We have to keep clicking on every player everytime to see this info
6) players keep getting kicked out of the game randomly.
Overall, the updated version is not user friendly at all..Yashar FasihniaVersion: 1.0.12
Not impressedWe just bought this one as the old version expired and we had to rebuy it. It is so much harder to see the trains/routes on the map compared to the old game and we were disappointed in the tallying of the points at the end. Very anticlimactic as you can’t even see the routes and the points go. Wouldn’t have bought..M fhjxibVersion: 1.0.12
Way worse than originalNo mega maps and they took a game that had no flaws and made it way worse..Tmal16Version: 1.0.12
Online doesn’t work; app crashes all the timeI am excited about the potential for this new version of the game. I like the presentation and even the music is nice. I find the placed routes are more challenging to identify at a glance (usually need to zoom in to confirm) and there should be an option for 2D or some easier option to see trains. Finally, the online games don’t work. I’ve tried a realtime and asynchronous game and both failed to load once joined. It just says “waiting for other players to play their turn” and often the user interface doesn’t load. I don’t get notifications re: my turn and there isn’t an option to approve or edit notifications settings in the game. I even had offline games fail to load and the game crashes. I hope it can be updated regularly. I won’t invest in additional maps until I can trust the game will work as intended..JAWB25Version: 1.0.12
Very glitchyFreezes mid game. Even restarting does not fix the issue..Boo1916Version: 1.0.12
Sadly disappointing, missed the mark on an epic gameI have played the previous release of this app for more then 5 years, and you have missed the mark on a re-release focusing on items that don’t add to the gameplay for the user. I don’t need to see trains “fly” into place on the board, these animations are unnecessary and slow down the game. An option to turn this off would be beneficial. I don’t need the board to zoom in and out when pieces are played, I need a board that I can see during game play. The text font is too small to read. The board is too cluttered. The route markers are hard to decipher and blend in with the rest of the board. The expansion prices are ridiculous, the previous cost for the Europe expansion was $3-4, but 10.99 for the expansion is crazy, and $50 for expansions that have not even been developed yet, when previously I purchased all the expansions for less then $20 is insane. Get back to the basics of the game play which is what players want. We don’t need fancy graphics. We need a game that runs in a reasonable time and doesn’t waste time watching animations. Very disappointing.Zoddd123456Version: 1.0.11
Difficult to seeRoutes are hard to see.Old Rocker XDJVersion: 1.0.11
DisapointedI was a big fan of the older version. This new app ruins totally the fun. Too much animation, dificult to select road, colors hard to see. A huge step back. I quit playing this game. Don’t loose your money and do the same!.Marg LoughbotVersion: 1.0.12
DisappointedThis game is so fun so I keep returning to the app anyways but I have to reinstall it every few games which is ridiculous for a paid app.JennnnnnnnniferrrrrrrrrrrrrrrVersion: 1.11.0
Not worth it.You pay $6.99 just for one map. If you want the others they’re at an additional cost. The developer doesn’t tell you until you’ve already bought it. Everything is behind a paywall..IforgottolaughVersion: 1.11.0
Buyers beware - Constant connectivity issuesGreat game; however, playing online is plagued with constant connection issues that really affect the gameplay. Great purchase for solo play and local hotseat but stay clear if you plan on playing a lot of online matches..TheMartJoyVersion: 1.10.3

Fréquente déconnexion freezerCe déconnecte toujours du réseau lors de parties. Vraiment désagréable.Sylvain awaVersion: 1.10.2
Constant crashingSo much bad with this app, which constantly kicks me out of games. Not just me. Happens to my wife too. I’d have invested in the extra maps if I had any confidence in the stability of the app, but I do not..SirTophamHatt2026Version: 1.10.2
Failed connectionsNever happened to me before but it is always server problems on the app nowadays. Always disconnects due to some server problems.TheRedRossVersion: 1.10.2
Game is broken!Continuous disconnects, unable to start games. How long does it take to fix the problem?.Edki777Version: 1.10.2
Achats presque obligatoiresJ’adore ce jeu, mais je trouve déplorable que nous devions acheter les cartes supplémentaires alors qu’en ligne avec un forfait tv, toutes les cartes sont gratuites. Ca devrait débloquer en fonction d’un concept de partie gagnées ou de points..CinéphrineVersion: 1.10.2
Mauvaise connexionAu début tout allait mais depuis quelques semaines ils ont des problèmes techniques et les parties s’arrêtent au milieu de la game ,c’est frustrant de ne pas pouvoir jouer des parties complètes.YghjiygVersion: 1.10.2
Glitches so much!I love the game, and when it works it is great. Only problem is that the game glitches so often — doesn’t let me join a game saying I don’t have an internet connection, or it lags out and doesn’t register my moves on my turns. Please fix these bugs!!.Lexie.FFVersion: 1.10.2
CrashingSince the last update this game is endlessly crashing. Sometimes backing out of the game entirely and reopening it helps. Other times it completely disappears. Absolutely ridiculous when you’ve purchased it and upgrades..GetBent003Version: 1.10.2
What Updates??We love to play this game however we can’t ever complete a game without multiple glitches and or freezing. I bought the new version based on the 4.5 stars since many complaints were from 2 years ago. Where are the updates to fix this problems you keep telling everyone you’re doing? If your going to charge for the game and every new map then please fix the darn game so it works. Very disappointing but holding out hope…...Tme66Version: 1.10.2
Game full of glitchesThe game itself is costly, takes money to purchase but the developers do not bother to fix the glitch of the game. It hangs, stops in the middle of the play wasting time.
Worst purchase with the money.Shaf37Version: 1.10.2
Still DisappointingBought the app over a year ago and it was so bad, I went back to the old app even though online was no longer an option. Thought I’d give it another try thinking the months would have resulted in improvements but it’s still the same. The online is unplayable due to freezing and interface issues and the design…well, the old app was so much better in so many ways….MiqualleVersion: 1.10.2
What a disappointment moving from the original game.For anybody who played the original game this will be a disappointment. The maps are too simplistic visually, especially in comparison to the original game. The original maps and those of the physical board game were very clearly developed by somebody with very strong cartographic skills - not just a graphic designer using maps.
The joy of playing Ticket to Ride (T2R) is in the cognitive engagement with the journey through the maps or the board itself, alongside the great strategy of the gameplay (and winning of course!). The charm and “non-digital” sophistication of the original T2R and its digital version, which came largely through the board itself, seems to have been lost, even with the addition of some of the elaborate animations.
The game has been given the same digital treatment as Monopoly, but with nowhere near the level of success. Is it a good game to play, yes absolutely. But this is due to the game mechanics which were (and still are) present in the original digital game for those that have it, not the nature of this poor visual rendition of the game..Mad-macVersion: 1.10.2
Ruined a great thingMy husband and I used to play this game together all the time! It was our go-to and we recommended it to many friends. This last update ruined it and we can no longer play together, just spend like 15 minutes just trying to find each other’s games..KendallMcCVersion: 1.10.2
Started crashing recently in multi player mode when scores are tallying up points at the endWorked well until recently when game started crashing at the end. Otherwise really enjoyed it..8007256Version: 1.10.2
Love the game but it continually freezesI love the new maps but for the past month, my app continually freezes and now it has come to a point that I cannot even play a game..MimiMimi395Version: 1.8.1
THE WORSTCompared to the OG, this is dreadful. Everyone else’s reviews here are spot on. Map? Terrible. Train placement? Terrible. Gameplay? Terrible. Pricing? Terrible. I would give this negative stars if I could. I refuse to buy any of the expansion packs until this game actually works.
Other issues now include accumulated stars just…disappearing. What even is the point of playing? Also the invite feature doesn’t even work to play with friends..Babs56808653Version: 1.8.1
