Race To Your Destination With Quick & Simple Ticket To Ride: London
April 3, 2019 by brennon
Days Of Wonder have now dropped more details for Ticket To Ride: London. This quick and simple version two to four player version of Ticket To Ride will be arriving in June for Europe and July for North America.
This new version of Ticket To Ride has you looking to do the traditional Ticket To Ride things, completing routes and tickets throughout London as you race to your various destinations. All of it is also themed around 1970's London, giving it a fun and inviting feel...as well as being excruciatingly stereotypical of English people it seems.
Whilst the traditional Ticket To Ride is a good introductory game for those who haven't played board games before, this smaller version (much like Ticket To Ride: New York) makes it a bitesize experience which can be played much quicker.
This means you can get people exciting about their experience, play a learning game and then still have time to delve back in and play again right away. Being able to offer those repeat playthroughs very quickly after the first means that if someone feels cheated by a bad draw, or not fully understanding the game, they get another bite at the cherry.
I am a big fan of this kind of approach and I could see this also being a MUCH better present for someone who wants a London themed gift when compared to getting them Monopoly!
It even comes with little plastic buses rather than trains!

I’ve been playing a game called ‘Travel The World’ (made by the Early Learning Centre), with my 7 & 5 year olds. I’d highly recommend it to parents of young children as it’s simple, educational and has a modicum of strategy. This looks like an excellent progression, especially as they’re growing up in London!
Great idea!
When in London I take the Tube. Pity the game doesn’t have the route Numbers. Shame the buses aren’t Routemaster (the were all the rage in the 70s). I will pick up this game, while waiting for the tube expansion.
I’ll be picking this one up to play with my niece and nephew. My niece loves the 2 TtR First Journey games and has been playing the New York one quite a bit (the full size games are still a bit much for her). Just ordered the France-only TtR Express to try with her too, looks about the same complexity as this.
Great to hear 😀
Shouldn’t this be renamed ‘the Avengers’ game ? 😉
The thought had crossed my mind as well when I saw the artwork
