Ticket to Ride: First Journey is geared at younger gamers who aren't quite ready for the full game. This version uses pictures on the game board and route cards so reading is not required to play. It also simplifies the scoring, rather than earning points, players are racing to complete six routes to win the game.
The Board Game Geek community gives it a complexity rating of 1.9/5. I agree it's a medium-light game that offers more than it requires of players. Who Will Enjoy It? If you're the sort of person who likes to play nice and isn't too competitive, you should probably check out Ticket to Ride.
Here's what the rule book says: Ticket to Ride Rules wrote: When one player's stock of colored plastic trains gets down to only 0,1 or 2 trains left at the end of his turn, each player, including that player, gets one final turn. The game then ends and players calculate their final scores.
The highest-scoring routes are Seattle to New York (22 points), Los Angeles to New York (21 points), Los Angeles to Miami (20 points), and Vancouver to Montreal (20 points).
Generally, if you're traveling on one route multiple times in a day, an all-day ticket may be cheaper than buying two separate tickets, depending on the distance. However, if you're traveling on multiple routes on the same day, two single tickets may be the better option.
