Ticket to Ride

Ticket to Ride is based on a board game by the same name and I have no qualms about admitting it is one of the better board games I've ever played.

The game is simple in execution: You get a map, North America for example, and a number of cities connected by spaces. You get cards, that act as goals, naming which cities you need to connect; other cards are drawn to give you train cars for the connection; get the right number of cards with the correct colors and you've done it. Rinse and repeat until train cards are gone

Trains, do men ever get tired of playing them?

As always, there is more to it than that, but that's the general idea. Keep collecting cards, hoping no one else decides to use the route your trying to build or even just cut you off from yours. The game is meant to be played by multiple parties, but you can use AI too, it works well enough.

9/10 for Ticket to Ride, the video game is a perfect analogue of the board game, and there is more play time here than you can imagine.
