This game is SOO much fun, for kids and adults. We’ve always enjoyed the adult version, bit since having kids haven’t played much. My 7yo picked this right up, and even my 5 yr old is starting to figure it out. She plays with an adult still but she’s starting to play on her own. What I like is kids that can’t read yet don’t have to be able to read the names of the cities, because they also have symbols the kids can match to see where their train routes are. It is challenging, and has the kids use critical thinking skills at an age appropriate level. The size of the board is perfect. The quality is top notch. I will say if you’ve never played before, it takes some time to read the rules and understand how to play (even as an adult) but I would say, just watch a YouTube video. Once you get it, it’s easy. Highly recommend!

My family loves the original ticket to ride and we love Halloween we had to buy this and try it. It was same concept as ticket to ride so it was easy. The quality was great just like the original. This game is a little shorter the board I think is smaller or has less places compared to the original. But a fun quick family game and something different. I hope they come up with more expansions.

This game is a hit! Easy to understand, quick to play, and keeps kids engaged without overwhelming them. My little explorers loved planning their train routes, and it’s fun for adults too. Great for family game nights, travel, or just a quick 15–30 minute session. Highly recommend for kids ages 6+ and anyone who loves trains and friendly competition!

This game is perfect if you’ve got a younger kid who loves to play the bigger kid games, but can’t quite handle all the crazy rules. It was a fun game still for adults to play but simple enough that our youngest was still able to play and he even won the game

Love this game. The game time is great for the young ones. My 6 yr old devoured this game. I’d say with it being a junior version, what would make this even better is a stand for the kiddos to hold their cards. Once we got a card stand, this game became an everyday occurrence. Perfect intro to Ticket to Ride Now we tried to play with some neighbor 7 yr old and they were not grasping the idea very well. They only did play it once and so I’d assume they’d get it maybe after another play or so but just so you know.

Our kids love this game so much! We have definitely got our monies worth out of it. So much fun and great to help them learn.

Bought this as a family game that we could play with my 8 yr old. The instructions are easy to follow and the game requires just the right amount of strategy for a kid's game. I also like that a game can be done in 30 minutes.

Nice to entertain the kid with. My 5 year old loves to play this

Nice short and easy version of Ticket to Ride, ideal for kids, and short enough to ensure they don’t lose interest mid game.

Muy bueno, aún más sencillo para introducir a gente o partidas rápidas. Me encantó que no hay que sacar cuentas de ningún tipo y cómo variaron la ruta más larga por el "costa a costa". Logra tener involucrados al mismo tiempo niños y adultos de toda edad. Lo dicho, el TTR original soporta 2-5 jugadores, este solo 2-4, pero lo resolví sencillamente con unas reglas caseras

I ended up getting this as a duplicate gift, but my 10 year old daughter just loves it. She asks me to play it with her every night. She seems to never get bored of it.

It is a great game for kids and we will probably upgrade to the adult version in the future.
