Thanks and I appreciate your ranking and list. I think we all have our favorite maps and version of TTR based on personal preference. I recently got Old West (for the 6 player count) and France expansion map. Personally, I enjoyed France side better. Overall, my favorite version so far, is Rails and Sails. Love the combination of deciding between ships and trains and the longer game play. Closer to a mid-weight game. But, I still have quite a few other maps and versions to try. Need to play Europe some more as that seems to have a good mix of mechanics. Of course, I want to try Legacy Legends of the West!
Loved the video I just bought the UK map expansion and I am excited to play both maps NOTE: For the France map do you leave the tracks on the map after you claim a route? It sounds like that because you said the trains fall down but per the rules you are supposed to put the tracks back in the supply when claiming the route. So maybe it won’t be fiddle the next time you play 👍🏽
My husband and I have been keeping a running score of Ticket to Ride since Covid began. Loser gets to pick which map to play the next week. I would love to get Marklin! We have USA + 1910 expansion Europe +1912 expansion, Nederlands, UK/PA, Rails and Sails, Japan/Italy. We play Nederlands the least, because of the rules for the dummy player. Europe is the next least played.
Thanks for the video! I'm a bit of a newbie to board games and trying to choose a few to start up a collection. 🙂🎲♟️ I thought ticket to ride might have a good place since it's so popular. 🙎🏻♂️🏆 My first thought was one of the smaller boxes? 3 of my games are kind of long and involved so I liked the idea that these were shorter and could work as filler games while still having some strategy. 💁🏻♂️⏰🏆 I thought I might also get one of the bigger boxes for when we have time for something more involved. Based on you and some other reviews I was maybe thinking Europe or UK? 🚞💂 I understand Europe is "friendlier" in that there may be less blocking? But the technology thing in UK sounds fun? Any thoughts? 🤷🏻♂️
I think the smaller box (London) is a great choice as you figured out. It is a great filler and we often travel with that or NY. Europe is definitely easier, to start, and the stations make it less like you will get completely blocked. The technology is in UK is a lot of fun, though, and isn't that much of a learning curve. The issue will be the pieces. You do have to own either US or Europe. The two "bases" are Europe and the US and need those pieces for UK, so starting off with one of those is smart just because otherwise you can't play the expansion maps (like UK). So you almost have to buy Europe first. -Jennie
Love the background

Great Lakes rules - yes, fellow Michigander. :)
But agree Old West and Pennsylvania are my favorite.
Great analysis, thank you!
You're Welcome.

Sorry about this, I missed the comment. I think we were leaving them on the map, thank you this helps us try it the right way.
Give France another try, it’s fun!

I apolgize for how long it took to see the comment. Jennie likes the Netherlands more than I but I really just like the base TTR.
Nederlands is nice, but the font used on the map for the cities is atricious.
Thanks for the video!

This is one of our favorite games. Hopefully the video helped you out. :)
I just got Ticket to ride London... I'll play with friends next time we meet up and if all goes well maybe get on of the bigger games. 🙂
@@rneumeye I hope it goes well and you enjoy it!

I don’t think this is a ranked-based video, you talk so random and don’t have particular order :/
Constructive criticism, it's a good thing.
