Ticket To Ride Celebrates Its Fifteenth Anniversary
July 26, 2019 by dracs
Days of Wonder have announced that they are celebrating the 15th anniversary of their classic train game Ticket to Ride with a new special edition.
Ticket to Ride is perhaps one of the most universally modern board games around. This excellent game sets players the challenge to see who can find their way by train to as many cities as possible and has proven its broad appeal since it first came out back in 2004.
This special edition includes an exclusive set of clear, plastic trains, as well as a four page booklet looking back over the game's history.
All in all, this looks to be a nice new edition for the game. There isn't too much added to it that will make it of particular interest to anyone other than a collector, but with a game as simple and clean as Ticket to Ride adding much else would just get in the way of the experience.
Ticket to Ride is a game I have played with friends across three different countries now, and I am sure it will continue to appear in people's collections for at least another fifteen years.
What would you have liked to see as part of this fifteenth anniversary edition?

Translucent plastic is, in general, more fragile than solid pigment and not enough for me to replace my current copy of the game. New artwork for the cards, new map art, better still, a new color way for the map (Sepia tone would have been sweet) and they could have gotten my money. Merge on or two of the expansions like Fireside did for the Castle Panic Big Box Anniversary edition and I be much more interested.
Clear plastic always look stylish even if it tends to be fragile.
