In Ticket to Ride: London, players collect transportation cards to claim bus routes on a scaled-down 1970s London map. Using mechanics like Hand Management, Network and Route Building, and Set Collection, players try to connect locations and districts with their double-decker buses. The game ends when a player runs low on buses, then points are tallied for routes, completed tickets, and connected districts.
Who Is This Game For?
This game targets families and casual players aged 8 and up who want a quick game experience of about 15 minutes. The simple rules make it accessible to beginners, while fans of Ticket to Ride can enjoy a streamlined, faster variant.
How It Works
Each player starts with a supply of double-decker buses and a few transportation cards. On your turn, you draw cards (Hand Management, Open Drafting), claim a route by discarding matching cards (Network and Route Building), or draw destination tickets (Set Collection). The goal is to create continuous routes linking locations and districts on the map to score points.
